rking, you never answered my earlier question What did you use to paint the stubby antenna? Did you use a HVLP paint gun or an air brush? What kind of compressor are you running?

I used the reducer but you can use any paint cleaner such as thinner that does not leave a residue. Residue is what kills the gun. No primer used because it was aluminum. but you can if you want. you can pick up a primer at your local auto parts store. if the antenna has any imperfections then you will want to make sure you use an etching primer that sprays thick. that will cover any minor scratches. if you are worried about the volume of air then an air gun will work. Harbor frieght has those too. it will just take you longer. use a tip that has more of a fan than a point. (i am talking about the spray it emits)

Ok I have narrowed it down a little. I have some creative that shows my car with different color wheels. I already have my favorites but I want everyone's opinion as this change is not reversable easily. Take a look at the image and tell me which one you would prefer via the letter assigned to each by voting in the poll that i setup in this other discussion. I am not trying to hijack this threat so I think we should move this over there for the poll http://e89.zpost.com/forums/showthre...9#post13160669 |
