Man i love spray painting stuff and have always wanted to try painting the pro way but it is just too expensive for me and i just dont have the space for it..i think im pretty decent with a spray can and could probably achieve some nice results using the proper equipment. Very nice write up, i can see you put alot of effort into it rep +. Heres my pc case i painted with spray paint, this finish i got by sanding the final layer down to 2500 grit and then rubbing compound and turtle wax afterwards..was afraid to spray laquer on it because i though it would mess up the finish.

the left is distored because it got dented after i finished the dam mod

Very, Very Nice. Definitely mastered spray can painting you have! . Indeed that job above can be done with a spray can. But the difference is the durability, longevity of the paint job, color holdout, among others. Also you can not pick from tons of colors. Spray can paint cannot match the above mentioned characterisics of a catalyzed urethane paint job. The hazards of draging it to lan party's is going to take its toll on most spray can paint jobs, where as a catalyzed urethane job will hold up just like a new car would and look new for years to come.

Very nice guide; will certainly help me improve my airgun abilities. I had purchased a set of Ironforce by Campbell Housfeld spray guns on clearance a while back and this guide is a godsend.

Thank you. Great brand of spray guns too you have. Gotta find the deals when you can get them. Im glad this guide could help you. I tried to make it as detailed as possible with the time I had to compile it.

Thanks everyone and Happy modding
