Happy to report these have safely been delivered to their new home in Hong Kong. Arthur has a fantastic setup that will do justice to these speakers. I hope he gets many hours of enjoyment from them.

Heya Gravedigger and thanks.


The primer goes on with a 1.8mm Airgunsa AZ3 HTE2 : Anest Iwata Europe - AIR GUNSA - GRAVITY SPRAY GUN AZ3 HTE2

For basecoats there's a 1.3mm Anest Iwata WS400 Evo : Anest Iwata Europe - SUPERNOVA - SUPERNOVA WS 400 EVO<br>EVOLVING INTELLIGENCE

And finally for clears I use a 1.4mm Anest Iwata W400WB : Anest Iwata Europe - CLASSIC plus - W400 WB CLASSIC plus

Hi Shin

Love your work :cool:

Automotive Acrylics are much easier to work with than 2pak's if you don't have a full on paint booth .Just rub back and cut & polish any blemishes and dust marks . There also not going to the ware factor compared to being on a car out side .Thinking of going back to arcrylic's myself ,some of the 2paks don't like to have dust rubbed out and when polished they can loose their chemical shine .

What size compressor are you using and how do you fined the air consumption
on the Iwata Supernova.

I'm using the 3M Accuspray 1.8mm spray gun for Hi Fill primers and I sprayed a pair of cab's in GMH chassis black acrylic with it ,they came out good .

Looking at getting the Optima Trifinity LVLP spraygun for Base & topcoats .

Have you moved away from water base ,base colours .

Cheers
