Re: Rebuild of my 1000 GT
Yea Phil I kinda dont want to stick the spots back on it now. I will have to think about that one.

Re: Air compressors
I am with Armo on this one Richy , I did spray my car the last time with a 150 but I now have a 200. A lot of air tools are very heavy on air so the bigger the better . Even the 200 comes up short for some of my air tools
