Can I paint my truck with the HV5500 and what tip for auto paint.

In theory you could but the results would not be very good. This is a low pressure sprayer and to do things like cars you need high pressure. I do not think this will give a fine enough mist to allow you to avoid orange peel effect. That would be true even if you thinned the paint. I would suggest a small compressor rated for paint spraying.

For details yes if your doing large flat areas or single color get an HVLP spray gun. But this gun does work really well.

Yes, you can take it to a professional but the cost may be more than $100. I didn't think I could paint it to a high quality finish. I decided using it as is. My car is dark grey and the OEM finish is black.

Yes with Tip Selection #221311 or #221313.Be sure to use the proper cleaning solvent that is used for the finishes you use.

Hey man, I actually sprayed a topper for my truck, and my truck is a unique tan, so I took off the gas cap and took it to Home Depot to get a color match and small tub of paint. Not the best place to go I've heard, but it definitely worked, just make sure it is not water-based paint. Also, when spraying it will come out lighter usually, so just make sure to use enough color when you mix the hardener and color. If you don't use enough color then it will be lighter, I noticed that after I sprayed it all on, which isn't too terrible, I think if I wanted to bad enough I could just spray over it and keep the texture. So bottom line, just make sure to use enough color when you mix it, don't overdo it, but better to have more of the exact color because the chance of being too dark is impossible if it's a color match.

I have a 60-gallon. You'll need one that has enough cfm for your tasks so you're stopping painting waiting on air pressure to build back up. I bought mine at Harbor Freight 12 years ago for around $450.

They fit nice on my 1999, I put 3 self tapping screws in each one, just to back up the double sided tape, I don't know if they can be painted, but Im sure with the right primer, My truck is Maroon, I left them black, looks like a factory 2500

First of all does your truck have the composite headlight system which is a bulb for the high beams and low beams? If it does. This kit will work on your high beams which I do not recommend. I do hid installations my self and 90% are done on just the low beams. You will need the 9006 kit if you have the composite headlight system. Your lows hid will outshine your factory high beams. If you have the seal beam headlight system which is one bulb with a dual filament for high and low beams built into one bulb you will need to find a H6054 hid kit. This will be your bulb size for a sealed beam unit. I hope this answers your questions. If not respond back. I don't mind helping. Thanks

yes. A friend of mine painted his and it looked good and worked fine. One advice is not to give it too many coats of paint .

You will need a cup and top, liners, filters. They are all available on Amazon. Also ck your local auto paint supply store. I know Sherwin Williams stock it all locally here

Any hvlp will work. You want to put on a lot of paint while using less pressure out of the spray gun

Yes, you can paint it. It would be very easy to paint it before you installed it.

Yes. Use the fine finish adapter for this and remember to clean it out with paint thinner.

Yes, but with any paint you will need to thin it to a milk consistency. Have a rag to wipe the nozzle area from time to time if the paint starts to splatter. I find the airflow control a very nice feature.

Only full auto with the etrigger. If it does have the upgrade i suggest purchasing a better hopper. If you try shooting full auto with the standard gravity fed hopper that it comes with then you will dry fire and chop paint.

Good deal Stephen. I got mine from the advice of a car painter and I use mine for painting guns and couldn't be happier.

To answer your question "Yes", this is not a snap together model. You might be able to do without paint but that would be up to how much work you want to put into it. If you are looking for a real nice out come there are after market items such as photo-etch and decals you can buy.
