I am going to start my body swap of my first gen 4Runner over to my 3rd gen truck.
I am thinking that I want to paint it along the way. I have experience painting from woodworking and have a pretty decent spray rig. Binks Mach 1 HVLP with a pressure pot. It lays out the lacquer that I generally use very nicely. Never used any type of auto paint through it. It has a 94 tip.
Anyways, I think if I paint the Runner body I would opt to use a single stage paint just for simplicity. Shooting paint and then a clear and getting it right twice would be tempting fate.
Anyone have experience shooting a decent single stage paint? I am not building a street rod project here so it doesn't need to be flawless but I don't like hacked looking shit either so I want it to look nice. It'll be white so that helps some
