    Well, I can't hook it up cause I need to take it out. :roflsmiley:

    I'll try a C-clamp maybe?

    Yes it is, here is the battery tray and brace. 

    The hardest part of today was cleaning the gun afterwards.  I borrowed it from a buddy.  So I had to clean it goooood.  It is a Sharpe1 Titanium HVLP w 1.3mm tip.  Pretty easy to figure out.

    It is Omni(PPG) and EV2 Single Stage Acrylic Enamel.  I used their Hardner and Reducer.  Mixed in a 8-1-1 ratio.  Seemed easy enough except for the drippys.LOL

    Color looks intense, really nice.  If their are no runs or drips, you were not trying hard enough to get it glossy buddy. :smilielol:

    I tried a bit too hard to get coverage too fast.  I never used a HVLP before.  The paint is actually still wet in those photos.LOL  Actually it was just beginning to be dry to touch.

    Yes it does deliver good transfer.  It also uses alot of air.  My compressor only ran once on each coat though so I was pretty happy with the new purchase.

    I just hope the overspray comes up easy off the floor. :faint:
