For those that have done paint touch ups (not graphics), what brand and model do you use and how miuch was it? I need to work on both horizontal and vertical surfaces, but nothing overhead. Also, from what I've seen, there are lots of accessories, but which are the really necessary ones? I have 2 air compressors (large and small) with pressure regulators - what air pressure(s) have you used? how much color layer and clearcoat thinning is required, or just use "straight from the bottle".



Thanks for the input.
 
Ooh, Im interested in this too. Not for either of my Lightnings, but for touching up some rust repairs on my Civic winter car.
 
I will throw some stuff out there, What i own is a DeVilbiss knock off. It is called a Star. Smae internals same design, just not the same price according to the guy at paint masters. The DeVilbiss model runs $299, i got mine for $100. I have an in-line pressure gauge/regulator on the gun, along with a moisture filter. I operate the gun at around 35-40 psi depending on the spray pattern, and what i am trying to accomplish. I cant say for sure about reducing and activating the base coat, as i have mine mixed for me at the shop (it is cheaper than buying reducer by the gallon), but as for the clear, it is 1 part activator for 4 parts clear according to the Nasson stuff that i am using. The tank i use is a Craftsman (Devilbiss certified) 30 gallon with max pressure of 140. It isn't too bad, hold enough air that i can work for a while without the incredibly loud motor to irritate me.
