Looks good. What kind of paint, water base? Did you spray it right there? What kind of gun: HVLP? |
Not waterbase.
Yes I sprayed it in my dusty garage with no extraction for fumes.
The gun is a Walcom slim combat HTE 1.3 |
Even greater that it came out that good. How much overspray went on stuff in your garage with that gun? |
