Made a temporary "paintbooth" of tarpaulins. It is very small so difficult to get deasent pictures of the result as there is just enough room to walk arount the sofa. This is the first time I'm painting something using a paint gun. The paint gun worked ok. My compressor is small and had to work hard during this job! The preparation before painting could/should have been done better so some touch up body filler work will be required!
Preparing for paint.
Probably the worst "paintbooth"arrangement ever.
Adjustable ventilation.
Tarpaulins for the booth, Air hose, air dryer/filter pressure regulator unit, new face mask, air connectors and last but not least a paint gun.
And then off course the paint. Two component primer and top coat and some accessories like thinner, mixing cups, paint gun cleaner.The most expensive sofa I have ever owned is coming along...
Pressure regulator installed on the wall and adjusted to two bar, in accordance with paint gun manual.
Starting from basics seaching the internet for how to use mixing cup.
Air supply screw on the gun I had fully open as pressure was regulated earlier in the line, paint amount (needle) I just adjusted so it felt like a good amount of paint was coming out of the gun and pattern was adjusted so it was about 15cm wide when gun was about 15-20 cm from the piece of cardboard.
