^ Could you post some more pics of your front bumper? I'm not quite sure the first 11 was enough.

Devilbiss starting line! The touch up gun is pretty decent, but the big one is pretty damn good! Actually both are good, but the touchup is a bit tricky with pressures. You gotta adjust (at least I did) to about 40lbs and it sprays great! Took me a bit to figure it out. It has a 1.0mm tip while the big one has a 1.4, and 1.8 tip. I shot the primer with the 1.4 in the big gun, and did the bumper base and clear with the touchup and 1.0 tip. I had to do very little wetsanding to remove the shine on it. So for a couple bills, it's a pretty damn good gun set. I was pleasantly surprised.

Nice man, never tried Devilbiss, only read good things about them. I don't know how you can stand the clear coat smell I always get dizzy and nauseous from spraying clear. I have an Anest Iwata LPH50 and LPH 400, I haven't painted anything in a couple of years. I need to paint some parts, so tempted to break out the guns again. It just sucks to pay 300 bucks to spray side skirts when it's free if you do it yourself.

Iwata's are baller!!! As far as the clear, even with a respirator I could still smell it and got a bit fukdup, but just powered thru it with the flash times and got it done.

My old gun was a Devilbiss and was pretty happy with it, but it sat for over 3 years without use and the humidity here in Houston kinda did it in. So rather than try to use it, I just bought these. I like em pretty well and for a diy'er they're really nice. The base and clear sprayed really nice
