Alright, I am starting to gather more tools because lets face it, tools are fun :P
I will be picking up a 7" angle grinder tomorrow and possibly a dremel. I'm also looking at a palm sander but I have high hopes that the angle grinder and elbow grease will be enough to finish my projects without picking up massive amounts of tools. So here is my situation and overall plan:
I have a 74 620 with a horrid house paint job (rollers and paint brushes). I want to sand it to bare metal, do some repairs (should be fun to break out the welder), and do a primer/satin paint job at the house. Before this all takes place I will be grabbing a tarp style carport and a tarp for the floor (since I don't have a garage). I will also set up an intake and exhaust fan with filters (I need carbon filters for exhaust fan right?).
I have painted one car with the help of freinds before, and it was a rattle can job. I don't really want to do a rattle can job this time, but depending on the price of tools I may have to.
What setup have you guys used? I am looking for a low budget setup and as far as I have found, there are no places near me that will rent out their booth. I have never used a spray setup but I know that I do not have room for a huge tank, nor do I have that kind of money. Budget wise I am probably looking at $800 for the compressor and all the parts I need to run it correctly. If it is possible for less, that would be great.
I understand that I would be better off spending the $800 for a paint job, but I will also eventually paint my civic, and probably my mom's car. Plus having my own setup, even a small one, will make it easier if I decide to change something in the future.
