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.

 ......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.

Once again looking very nice indeed...
 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...  Johno

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