Dipping toe into painting

Painting using a compressor weaker than mine, 2.6CFM, 0.2HP:

….by someone who knows what they are doing who actually happens to own a compressor. You don’t and you don’t.

Go for it.

Tell us how you get on. Show us the results

Why? Do you still think I am that vauxhall guy?

Using car paint with an air brush. Doesn't take much CFM, or many HP.

I have an air brush, but won't bother with it. It's simply too small to deal with any sizeable panel. Way back, I did attempt paint repair using that. The problem was non-blending of the colour to the rest of the panel. The air brushing was not a problem and no thinning of the paint was necessary. The compressor was 0.13 HP.

I admit saying body shops are buying VOC paints. It's not clear who else would buy them since there are very few DIYers.

VOC's themselves aren't non compliant, but a compliant paint has a VOC content below the defined threshold.

As @Lower says, in order to be compliant, a paint has to have no more than a given amount of VOCs

I have no idea why NutJob thinks that 2K paints are not compliant. Perhaps he saw something to that effect on Youtube.

I use 2K (isocyanate) paints/lacquers from time to time.

None of the ones I used prior to the 2010 VOC regulations were removed from the market.

But in post 1, you said.


I have some beginner experience with rattle cans, and that's about all. I have never touched an air compressor


So, what is it ?

Mate- why are you feeding the troll- and yes, I appreciate that I responded prior to your post. Mea culpa.

I know I know.

But its exposing the troll, I know its sort of feeding it. Exposing it hopefully embarrasses him enough to stop.

It happened so long ago, I forgot. Air brush compressors are untanked, small, and different.

Why are you telling people when and when not to post? Is it a habit from being with the cabal?

You've exposed yourself. Too late to backtrack

Paint seller says:

2K/2PACK Compliancy Regulations and Health and Safety. You may only purchase non-compliant 2K products if you intend to use them for industrial or agricultural uses and not for automotive purposes as this is now illegal.

Watch me backing out.

Watch me backing out.

It's what follows on from lies
