Timmyb Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Are the tanks rusted? I pulled the tanks on my dads truck, they looked good till I got the straps off. Underneath they were rusted bad.

75T Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Do you like your TP HVLP paint spray system? Looking at the shop I will assume a large air compressor to use a more common spray gun. Thanks.

Baxter Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 Do you like your TP HVLP paint spray system? Looking at the shop I will assume a large air compressor to use a more common spray gun. Thanks. We like the Tp unit very much. Have painted a lowbed and two trucks prior to this one. To much moisture to deal with the big compressor. Warm clean and dry air makes paint easier. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36686-superliner-returns-home-after-13-years/page/2/#findComment-306059 Share on other sites More sharing options...
