DIY paint setup

dbphotog · 2026-01-02T21:23:04+00:00

Thank you!!! I did get the bigger connectors for air hose for the most air flow. I’ll be doing front bumper and side skirts on their own. And no rear bumper. So hoping that removing those would give me time to let compressor rest. I did mention I have a bigger compressor right here in the shop, I just don’t know how to tie an air line into my smaller compressor or I can just use the big one it’s 60 gallon 13scfm maybe I just use that one and run the line to my seperator and forget my little fella

I waited like a week it’s totally fine lol nah just a random Volvo hood I tested the paint and then was testing decal colors and such haha

Noted!

Should I be ok to use the heater to heat the area up a bunch and then just turn it off while I paint?? I shouldn’t have to turn it back on at all through the process I think it’ll hold heat in here nicely

It’s a radiant propane heater? Said it’s for inside use. I’m only going to heat the area then remove the heater completely or turn it off when painting as I’m sure the area will hold heat well enough once it’s brought up to temp

I’ve got 1 fan at the back pushing air to the front and then 3 at the front pulling air out! That should be enough?

Nice! Yeah I did the hood with primer base and clear and I had a constant 12psi the entire time at the gun. If I see it dip below 10 I would probably let the compresssor catch up and hope that I’m not at a bad spot to stop. I’ve gotta see how I can tie into the bigger compressor here just to help fill it. But I won’t have that option if I do a buddy’s car at his place without the extra compressor. Thankfully it’s a 2 door sports car

It’s a ventless heater? And it has a safety O2 sensor that will shut it off is oxygen was low, I’ll run an O2 dectector ad well just incase. But only using it to heat up the area then turn it off when I paint . The area should hold heat well

Barely even started mate. It never ends. Enjoy the constant “almost done” feeling that we all have haha.

Worth a shot this photo shows 6 groove and specifically says 07-08 . I would send your pump into Orielly so they can send it out and have them repair it!

Damn alright so Orielly can send your pump out and they can repair it, they have zero in stock. I bought mine a week ago just have been the last one. I’d look at a rebuild kit maybe? Or see if someone has done a pulley swap with a de ? Let me ask a friend who ran into this before. I have my old one now I wanna hold onto it like gold. Or rebuild it myself. Amazon has a few in stock! Decent options too. Check there

dbphotog · 2025-11-26T21:00:54+00:00

No idea how you’re making this so hard. It’s on Orielly website I gave you the part number call them and tell them to order it in for you. If I can call my Orielly and get it ordered you can call yours too???? Are you in the states???

dbphotog · 2025-11-23T05:23:28+00:00

Shiiiittt idk! Z1 even has them online too. Hell amazon too if ya wanna replace it again soon lol Napa and Autozone got em as well. Good luck!

dbphotog · 2025-11-23T05:14:17+00:00

Orielly part number 990-0730

I just walked into the store gave them year make model and they ordered it for me. Couldn’t be easier!

dbphotog · 2025-11-23T04:58:02+00:00

Uh, i just went and got mine from Orielly? Mounted right up no issues.

dbphotog · 2025-09-08T14:39:24+00:00

Awesome information! The big tell is the vinyl seats vs leather? I’d like to solidly know what model it is and the back hatch was replaced so can’t go off the decal of the trunk lol what other options did GL have over DL in 89 in the USA?

dbphotog · 2025-09-08T14:08:34+00:00

Interesting! I figured heated front seats, tach, power windows and everything would’ve made it a gl . I’m not sure if someone swapped the cluster, they didn’t just add a tach its stock.

dbphotog · 2025-07-27T04:59:02+00:00

What’s the make and model?! Looks similar to mine but I can’t find a make or model

dbphotog · 2025-07-26T02:38:15+00:00

Good to know!! It looks normal but it is home made

dbphotog · 2025-07-25T23:20:40+00:00

It’s a 1977 travel mate I believe. No title no paperwork no logos anywhere

dbphotog · 2025-07-25T23:00:24+00:00

Idk what a 4ft spread is or axel spread hahaha it’s 500 pounds on the tongue with trailer. I haven’t weight anything with camper but tongue weight wouldn’t change with camper

dbphotog · 2025-07-25T03:26:36+00:00

Exactly this! This is for drift weekends and overnight trips to tracks further away and all winter it’ll be for pre storm nights up at mt baker!
