My Escort project is nearly ready for paint on the underside, car will be Radiant red, red primering the underside at the moment (brush on celly), was going to red Hammerite over the top of that but now thinking about spraying over the top, already have a small compressor, been looking at HVLP guns but what paint can i buy over the counter at my local paint supplier ?, i know i cant buy two pack but what alternative can i ask for ?

If you like the hammerite you could use the appropriate thinners and spray that. It doesn't seem to have that great a reputation but I have always got on with it really well (cold weather drying times excepted)

you can still buy 2 pack , even on ebay , some places still do celly ,
id only spray the underside if you can get the car on its side so you can get to it propperly,
or I'm sure a decent underseal that can be tinted and painted on,.

You can still get cellulose paint mixed over the counter. Obviously a lot nicer than 2K, but you're still going to need a mask if you're spraying it.

Ah, i'll ask for celly then  , car will be fair weather use so finish on underside doesnt need to be tough, just good looking, was under the impression paint suppliers would only sell 2K to trade ? Would be wearing a mask regardless anyway  |

If you're using 2K buy an air fed mask, don't risk it with anything else.

3M "20 minute" mask is OK for 2K in "very well ventilated" spray booth or similar environment. You must use gloves and goggles though. 2K is proper evil but it is good for things like floors and chassis. Your problem is going to be that when spraying in boots/engine bays/ interior floors or underneath of an upright vehicle the fumes hang about and are not so well drawn away by whatever ventilation you have.
I have never got on with Hammerite. I don't think it is well suited to underneath cars. It cracks and chips with flexing and vibration.
If you can get your paint factors to mix you radiant red in synthetic I would be tempted to use this as it is far harder wearing than celly without the problems of 2K isocyanate hardeners.
Anywhere where celly will be sprayed later needs to be kept free of synthetic overspray to avoid reaction later though.
You can brush paint synthetic on.
