Painting with a Titan

Recommended Posts

My father in law gave me this Titan TS50 painter and I would like to know if any of you guys have used one for automotive (tractor) painting purposes and have thoughts/tips. Thanks.

I 've used one of these. Works well and you can paint anywhere as long as you have electricity!

Thanks @squonk. Would you say the spray quality (perhaps not quantity) from a unit like this is similar to a body shop setup using an air compresser and HVLP gun? I have the nozzles including the .43 they recommend for automotive basecoat paints. What I am trying to figure out is whether it would be considered pro quality spray or just more made for general non-automotive painting purposes. 
 

I know, easiest way is for me to try it out when it gets warmer but I’m impatient and don’t have paint laying around. Would like to do a real nice base/clear on the hood and fender.

Go to the link  from TP Tools and read about spraying with a turbine system. A lot will have to do with the gun Titan provides too. 

 

I sprayed these 2 tractors with the Turbine system

@squonk  I’m doing a ‘refresh’ of a C-105 and I’d like to paint the hood the color of your 145. Looks awesome. What brand/color paint did you use? Thx!
