Well I haven't posted here in a while since I had to sell my camaro and get jelous every time I see everyone elses beautiful rides!
<br><br>Well I now have a Ducati 748 I'm building up, At the moment prepping before doing a repaint. What I am looking to do is get a small setup that will lay down the paint well enough. I am planning on doing a plain old base/clear in white with stock decals on the sides and black "number plates" on the nose and tail. <br><br><br>If someone could give me a little walkthrough on the equip because I am fairly lost. What I was thinking so far was a pretty small 150~psi compressor with either a decent size tank, or an auxilary one (all i need is enough to do one panel at a time) Then a decent filter/dryer, and im totally clueless with guns, but there would be no reason to go overkill. I am assuming that because the guns are regulated It would be fine to have a small loss in pressure from beginning to end, keeping in mind the largest single part Ill be painting is a few feet square.
<br><br>Also where would I buy the other supplies, such as super fine sandpaper and actual paint?
<br><br>Thanks guys, and I might as well throw up a pic of the bike. <br><br>
