[QUOTE="ttocs, post: 1552317, member: 11896"] I decided to try mine myself last time. don't forget a filter/dryer set up, they can get expensive quick. How big is your compressor? I have a 60 gallon and it was running nearly constantly to keep up. Even on small parts you will want to be able to do a complete coat without it dying or you will end up with a textured paint that will need to be sanded smooth. I would recommend getting an old fender/hood to play with a little so you can figure out what pressure and distance/speed of movement works for you. Don't let your bumper be the test piece or you will be sorry. My honest learning from doing it myself is that I don't want to do it again and will pay the premium myself.... [/QUOTE]
