Practicing Paint

I've started practicing painting. There's a lot of skill involved in shooting the paint but the other things that take all the time just take a little practice. Ninety-five percent prep and cleaning and five percent actual painting. I'm happy with the supplied air system I built. It's got a full-face mask (with tear-off mask covers) by Survivair with a demand regulator and a Gast rotary carbon vane air pump. I wear a full suit with gloves and feel confident I'm avoiding the dangerous chemicals in the paint.

 

After a few attempts, I'm getting the basics down for using the HVLP paint gun. The tool box came out fine. I used the 1.5mm tip on the gun which worked much better than the 1.8.
