Ye, all these compressors, humidity / temp controlled booths and spray guns are all just clever marketing to make money. Clear coat is also unnecessary... just an excuse to sell more product :lol: :lol:

Oh now how can I tell you all this without hurting your feelings? The picture is not wrong, there really are some cars where this is the right way to paint them, and I'm not joking or being sarcastic. Just look at the car in the picture........ :lol:
Cheers, Martin
