She is a very talented artist, but I want her to paint my firewall and inner fenders of our 53 halfton. If she had the proper nozzles, could this area be painted with an airbrush or are we pushing the airbrush beyond its limits. Nothing fancy, just match the exterior paint we have on the truck??? I don't have a regular gun or large enough compressor to handle one. Any thoughts on this?? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 36 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 36 | yep, you can do it. dont know how well a single colour will turn out air brushing is more for when you want small amouts aof colour in diffrent areas. on ebay a while back there was a guy that had air brush a tropical theme under his hood.

There is a company that will do that for you and its not that much money. Also, consider useing a sprayer from this company. http://www.prevalspraygun.com/ They sell them at most major hardware stores. One more option. Use an undercoating for the fenders. You can get that from Eastmans.

It worked great. I did thin the paint a little more.
Keep several cans of propellant on hand and when you are spraying, put the can in a pot of very warm water - when you spray a lot the cans will frost over and the pressure drops if you don't keep them hot. Switch around as needed. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 866 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 866 | Thanks PatrickL, I will follow your instructions. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 4,095 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 4,095 | COACH FRANK, love the color on the truck.
