painting in AZ
where do you guys go? i might rent a compressor and do it myself with the prices out here.
just picked up an 89 TA tpi 305 from a guy in biltmore area, and it looks like he painted it with a bunch of spray cans, and laid it on super thick. id rather do it myself (for now) and work on the fun stuff before i lay out a ton of monies for a paint job.

Re: painting in AZ
I have a friend who can sell you the paint for cheap. (He sells to most of the bodyshops in the glendale/phoenix area) All you have to do is pick the color.

Eh... A compressor is a compressor. Your car dosent know/care where the air comes from. I like harbor freight. I have bought many things there. Just dont go out their door thinking "All right! This thing is going to last FOREVER!" LOL!

Re: painting in AZ
I have a guy doing my car soon when I get the money for both of my quarter panels and then he will do the paint. He uses PPG and has done cars that sold at Barrett Jackson for a good amount. Seen his work and it is unreal. Can send you his info if you'd like. He work for a lot less than a body shop, too.
