Yesterday I ended up getting more than I bargained for when I started to do some colour coding on my Laser using a spray can that soon ran out of paint. It turns out that both it and the Falcon are exactly the same colour (Stark White) and between the 2 I could end up using a few litres of paint, so I knew that spray cans were no longer going to do the job.
Kmart's current 20% off Auto sale inspired me to pick up this Arlec beast, normally $129, for little over $100. It's an air compressor capable of 120 psi, with a respectable 2 horsepower rating. I also picked up a spray gun to match for a bit over $30. Only a few other items are needed - a tin of stark white, thinners for cleaning the gun, hoses, and in time I'll pick up a tyre inflation connection so I'll be able to check tyre pressures from home. The possibilities are endless.
As some of you may be aware, my EA currently has no rear bumper. The old one turned out to be an ill-repaired POS which was so cheaply installed that even a $5 clip had been substituted with a load bearing screw. Previously the plan was to spend $250 on a new bumper, then probably $100 on professional painting, etc, and learn nothing in the process. Now I'm hunting for a cheap EA GL bumper...
I never realised how cheap and easy this stuff is, and would recommend this purchase to everyone!
