    lateral thinking....heat lamps in bathroom.........use old sheets to cover the tiles etc and heat the room. move compressor in and spray there.do something small first to see if works.wot thinners using? gp or acrylic lacqer as quality of thinners affect flash point. avoid 2 pak as without correct gear is a terminal experience as the paint will settle in lungs and not be coffed up.

    No, using 2 pak. got all the respirators etc full suit & hood, want to get a ventilated mask, maybe santa will bring one.
    Ive used acrylics in the past but the 2 pak is sooo much better.
    As far as using the bathroom, she'd have a pup if she knew that !
    I have an air conditioned office in the garage that's got a large air con unit & I can run it in there & paint in the garage, I might build a new office & turn the old one into a spray booth if I win the lotto tonight.
    The base coats applied yesterday are perfect, maybe I should get a pro to do the clear top coats.
    I'm trying to keep the spending to a min as they're not worth much in the end & I can do with the practice.

    2pak does a better job but is dangerous to even sand.glad you got a space suit but do you have an external air supply and do the neighbours know?

    No neighbours here that close.
    The last lot of acrylic I used washed off when some petrol was splashed on it months later.

    acrylic can do that and neighbours can be a pain. when i lived in merewether if i started the compressor a neighbour would ring newcastle council and an inspector would visit.

    Good find, wish I had found that before, didn't see that when I was looking around. Wemoto want $85 each for genuine, bit pricey. For $35 AUD (set of 4) I'll take a gamble I'm feeling lazy so can't be bothered stripping back to the carbies. Will see how they go when I get them. The latest "fizzident" is a leaking rear shock so.... going to have to give her some more attention soon.

    The answer is no, they would suit a 2kr or possibly fz250 but not 3ln.

    On a side note I have diaphragms from China in my 400 and they work perfect.

    I also have keyster kits for 3ln carbies including jets needles emulsion etc they are probably 90% complete. Will sell cheaper than the $200 it would cost you to buy new. I no longer have a 3ln... bit sad in some ways.
