Plan to upgrade compressors when I get the shop built. For now I have a 5 hp 60 gal oil free. BTW, if noise is an issue for you, don't get an oil free. But at least I don't have to worry about oil getting in my paint. It works fine for painting cars even with hvlp equip. so I am guessing would be adequate for spraying the body shutz.
Steve. I think I am going to get 6 quartz and the applicator.
Look on this page:

The 3M applicator is about $100. I am thinking the Astro brand ($25)and just consider it disposable. Can't imagine how much thinner and acetone I would go through trying to get the applicator clean, but probably close to $25 plus all the time it would take.
Anyone use the 3M in quarts and either of the applicators?
There are a couple other products on the same page that look promising, but I am not up to using my car as a guinea pig on this. The Rusfre brand is only $25 a GALLON. Also Transtar makes a rubberized undercoat available by quart or gallon, priced similar to the 3M, except it is available by the gallon. I have used other transtar products, and always found them acceptable.
The only thing I know for certain is that I do not want an aerosol product. Tried that many years ago and you can't get the really thick texture I want.
I am guessing some of you guys restoring and building high end cars have some experience with shooting the sound deadener. Any info you can share would be appreciated.
