hi Oscar..... tube wall needs to be a minimum of 2mm and you will need a hefty vice and an extension bar to increase pressure on vice toggle/handle then it is just steady pressure until it deforms into an oval but take care not to use too much pressure or it will start to deform into a figure of 8.....the ideal vice jaws would need to be around 1" x 5" no heat was used.

don't worry it is well fastened:p ......yep at that price it is a steal even if you chuck it away when done....the other thing I forgot to mention was its spray pattern which you already touched on...it is about 1"circle at 6-8" so yep there is very little overspray which in turn leads to far less mess and dust everywhere, if I were panel spraying I would think twice as a "fan" pattern would be more efficient.
I have used it many many times now as an airbrush on steriods and my bigger guns are and have been collecting dust for the last 2 years so yes I would recommend this little gem for intricate touch up or chassis spraying.

I agree that little gun is a cracker after seeing the outcome of it last night,cheers for the fan Kev and it was good to catch up with you again.

Citroen sorted ?

Once again looking very nice indeed...:cool:
It's a nice sight to see the chassis in some colour. It's a shame to think most of it will be covered in...
Looking forward to seeing more photos along the way...:)

Fantastic paint job! But did you forget to put your drill battery somewhere safe? :D

Carefull not scratch it as you bolt all those bits on!

Will definately be trying the squished tube trick, will let you know when I mess it up...

I really like that chassis , the extra bracing & all the "little" touches etc, obviously a well thought out build from start to finish :cool:

Can,t wait to see the finished car, its gonna be a cracker :cool:
