I'm actuall a wrap installer so I've thought about a wrap but that's not for me lol. As for guns I'm not really sure what I'm going to buy. I'm a sign painter at a high end shop but we use the cheapo harbour freight sale guns and change them often lol that was going to be my next question. I need to buy a gun but I don't need anything crazy just something that sprays nice with an even fan. Around the $100-150 range or cheaper if I can get away with it.
I know me being a sign painter has nothing to with painting cars. But we use the same process and some signs are expensive and have to be perfect. Its not easy spraying a 10ft sign made of foam and have it come out like glass. Anyway I think I can pull it off. Its just my car. A 94 gt at that not a Ferrari. Ill just paint it in pieces like the bumpers fenders and whatever else I can get off and paint seperate. We have a big booth, its probably jot ideal for painting cars but it will work lol

This is total crap. No difference in prep. And as a painter, I say it is easier for a novice to paint BC/CC because when you are spraying the color, you do not have to worry about getting it wet enough to shine. When doing metallics, this is a reason for runs and sags. As well as water melon stripes. You eliminate most of that problem with BC/CC because you are not putting the base on to shine. You are only concerned with color coverage. People who don't know shouldn't post stuff like this.
