that's the problem with old Siphon feed spray guns,they require 50-60 psi to get the paint to suck up and spray right. Goody,Just buy a cheap gravity feed spray gun from Harbor Freight, for around $20 you can get one that will do the job and can spray fine with a small compressor like that little 30 gal one mentioned. The air is only need to make it spray the fluid will come out just be squeezing the trigger with the air not hooked up.That is why they are so effecient and they don't waste paint in the air from alot of overspray as most of the material transfer is on the vehicle.On a gravity feed almost half the cup goes in the air so it cost you twice as much paint to do the job with a siphon as your wasting it.Good paint is not cheap and you don't want to wast it so buy the correct modern type spray guns."GO Gravity or GO Home" also check out www.tcpglobal.com they can be cheaper then Eastwood and they sell name brand paint plus have and AutoBody store as well which the links are on that site and get any body supplies you need. Sometimes it is cheaper then driving to the local auto paint supply store and get's shipped to your door and that includes the shipping as the local store inflates their prices. I was sending all the way to California to get stuff and have it shipped to Florida cheaper then buying at the local supply place which I had an account with and got a discount from regular over the counter customers and the Company I get my custom paints for airbrush was still beating the local store and shipped right to me,no need to waste gas

Suggestions on preserving the sharp body lines in the hood during sanding? Tape over them? There is absolutely nothing wrong with those lines and would rather not have self-induced waves in them.
Havent done it myself, but I saw on one of those TV shows, they put a tape line right on the body like you want to preserve. then eyeball the tape to make sure it's in a straight line. do your sanding up to that line with a rolled block wrapped in paper, then once you have one side done, remove tape, re-apply on the other side of the line, and sand the opposite side of the line.
that's how they did the body lines on that "crate 69 camaro" project.

Goody, when you're ready to have it done, bring it to me. I know people.  If my guys are good enough to paint the Bentley and Rolls we service, they can handle a Cuda hood. One of them does NICE side work at his own shop. In fact, I had him do my daily driver when it got hit. His personal car wins trophys on an indoor show circuit.

I landed a nice low price to not only paint the hood but blend the fenders as well. LOW price. High quality. This guy is good. I'll call Goody and fill him in.

This is also true, and I quickly bought a set of devilblis HVLP guns soon after I did my project. so far I've painted 2 small blocks with it, and sprayed some zero rust on the inner panels of my Cuda as I did some rust repair.
the 2 guns came together s a set with different nozzle/tip sizes for painting primers or finishing work, a pressure regulator, tools, brushes, etc. and I'm thinking it only cost me about $120.
