Default do it urself paint?

anyone out there paint their own cart and get good results? Did the paint hold up? look good? I am a painter,but all I have painted is a lot of top notch cabinet painting. I worked in cabinet shop for years,and to toot my own horn (toot toot) I do really good work. I have never tried my hand at auto paint or whatever is used on plastic cart bodies. if anyone has done it and been completely happy with it, please tell me what you used? primer, paint, and what you sprayed with? I have a good cup gun.







I didn't forget, I just haven't done it yet

High end painted kitchen cabinets... Never knew such a thing existed. I guess I'm poorer than I thought!

We poor folk wouldn't know anything about high end cabinets.


My cart panels were painted about a month ago by a friend of a friend. He used a ppg delfleet paint and a good quality clear. He used a harbor freight throw away paint gun, and I have to say, it turned out pretty good. I was going to paint it myself but my compressor isn't big enough, I didn't want to turn my garage into a paint booth, etc... If you have a plastic body on your cart be sure to use a adhesion promoter. Without it the primer and paint will just peel off like the skin of a banana.

Still working on it. I'm pretty much done with the electrical and the body should be going back on hopefully this weekend. I still have that issue with the rear lift plate. Jake's sent me the wrong parts, even though I called them twice to confirm them. That just kills me, spend all that time on hold and put up with a guy that thinks I'm a paranoid moron and they still give me the wrong stuff. What I did do is take out the bolts and put new nuts on with less torque (20 ft lbs instead of 40). I still have the wang in that plate but I'll let it ride for now.
