It's time to work on the Bird... Reply #75 – March 08, 2007, 06:10:55 PM Hi,Quote from: vinnietbird;133259I'll do the bodywork,and let my friend paint it.He owns a Maaco,and he only charges me for the supplies,not the labor.He did the Blue car nearly 4 1/2 years ago,and it still shines and looks great.....except in the wrecked areas where it got hit.LOL.I'll paint myself cauz I have the space for, but need to spray air all round before (ceiling), but I have the stuff to do, a very good "old" compressor, and a "old but best" DeVilbiss JGA502 with #30 air tip...It's a good setup, You will see here when the Bird will painted, I'll guess I make a good work.:D Regards,Dom.
