Still not prepared to throw the towel in, I swapped out my compressor for a 100L one, still questionably on the low side for spraying - but all that funds would allow.
I mask her off again, and try again ...
What I didn't appreciate, but swiftly learned, is how much space you need to spray a car. I am sure this sounds daft, but it was all new to me.
I certainly could do with more space and a better 'dust free' environment.
But the paint was flowing nicely with the new compressor, the finish looking better ...
