I am going to give painting with a sprayer a try and I was wondering if anyone can suggest a website or other reading as a step by step tutorial?  I realize that it is going to take a lot of practice, but I'd like to be able to find a centralized place where I can find out information about the equipment I will need, how to prepare the paint and, of course, how to apply the paint.  Any help apreciated.  I have a Vendo 110 (red and white) and a Peps slider (dark blue) that I plan on painting.

Thans in advance.

I have yet to give it a try, but I know there is a lot of discussion here on this site about the subject.
Have you done a search through past topics?

Not to take anything away from the knowledge of this site, but I am also a member of an automotive site. The guy that runs the site is a friend of mine and a great painter. Most of his work is on bikes, but he does tutorials on body work, prep work, paint work and polishing work with photos through the different steps.. I tried to get him into painting machines, but they are too big for him. Anyway, the site is http://www.a2zautoforums.com/ He is in the SF Bay area.  I can try to drag him over here, but it may be easier to have a look over there, and pick up some tricks... Look for posts by Milo

My First Try wasn't too succesfull, majore Orange Peel effect where it was bumpy to the touch!... But I learned alot while doing it and look forward to trying again when I get set up at the new place!
