The paint is a mica paint( pearl paint, same thing) My priginal color choice was the "copperhead pearl) used on the show trucks when they built the C10 truck. Problem is it is 230.00 a quart!!! So I did some flipping thru the color books and found this. I hope it turns out like I planned.

As for guns, I currently have just some cheapo HVLP guns. I believe they are made by DevilBiss. They work OK but I really want a couple anesta iwata(sp?) guns. My buddy switched from SATA jet to those and loves them. $$ guns though. But they do nice work on getting the product to the surface you are spraying. Much like any paintwork, it is all about the prep. I have seen some awsome paint from a 40 Kobalt gun from Lowes
