This is the absolute BEST advice I've seen on here for painting a cab. I would also suggest, if you are anal retentive, and a perfectionist like me, ALWAYS shoot your paint, clear coat, whatever. Don't ever use a paint brush, or a roller. Investing in a cheap HVLP setup is cheap ( Harbor freight...

Hey JamBurglar, Thanks for the awesome info bud!

How common is it to have the transformer go tits up and fry your monitor?

Got it. That's what I "thought" was happening, thank you!
