What is a spray bomb ?

A rattle can.

Yep, did a search.
Thanks

rspears, I checked out your hot rod photo's, is one or more yours ?

I'll call my local paint supplier for the bombs and take along my painter fork to match. I've checked out a lot,....of rattle can paint, and nothing close enough to match. If I were going with a different color or even use one of the Ford blue, rattle cans would be fine.

Anyway, what do I need to ask and look out for, from my autobody supplier about the bomb type ?

If that doesn't work for me, what do you think of this company and this product ?
The paint already has the reducer, but add the hardner.

If you're referring to pics in the Gallery, as I recall the only thing there is a bunch of old show pics, and I never use or look at the gallery any more. I have one that's pretty much "done" (are they ever?):

When you visit your local paint shop, simply ask if he can mix up some Viper Blue (take your sample picture) and load it into rattle cans for you. Also buy compatible primer from him, also in rattle cans.

New Egg is an re-seller, gathering products from all over the place and marketing them, kind of like what WalMart is doing these days. You can Google a '32 Ford Tube Axle, and one of the suppliers that pops up is WalMart In-Store Pickup! I would avoid both, and evilBay for paint, too, IMO. Others may disagree. I'd shop the local paint store, so you have an idea of the quality you get.

Real nice 32's, but like you have pictured, I've always prefered the grills of the 33 and 34 I like the old school baby moon's too.
Yes, many companys copy and/re-name products. We're into saltwater reeftanks snd so,.....many comoanys copy very good products then sell for way less, that really have bad internals.

The coupe is a '33/34 N&N glass body car. The roadster is a '32 ShowMe Rod & Custom glass body project.

I had purchased this set a few years ago. And it's on special now for just about what I paid. I think you also mention it above.

Do you like having the mini gun, or wish you had bought the other kit with two, of the same guns ?

I have used it for touch up work only. It comes in handy.

How wide is the pattern ?
