Paint Sprayers

Are there any paint sprayers on here? I am after a complete respray on a van I am purchasing, but on a tight budget. The van is Luton size, all panels are in good condition can email pics if required.

Many thanks

Richard

My son bought a 1971 Beetle project and due to costs and lack of money I was talked into doing a complete respray for him.

I (not him, note) bought a compressor and an HVLP spray gun for less than £300. With a bit of practice and some primer, undercoat and topcoat, did the whole job for less than £450.

If you have access to the equipment or can borrow, why not have a go yourself.

If I do say so myself, pretty good, probably better than the standard 1971 finish.

He has has numerous offers to buy the car since completion
