Take the "pain" out of paint guns....

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by brett4christ, Aug 2, 2010.

  1. I am now in the market for a good, inexpensive (not cheap) spray gun (or guns). It (they) will not be used much, but would like to have something that will hold up. Mostly hobby-style projects, with the goal of getting good enough to paint my own truck.

    Any recommendations?

    If price is important, you might consider old style " high pressure" guns . A Binks no. 7 will spray anything and can be bought used, cheap. These guns waste more material in overspray. They do better with primers/sealers than finish paint; as far as waste goes.

    At work I use a Devillbiss "Starting Line" HVLP for big flat surfaces, and a cheap HF high-pressure gun for stuff that has a lot of contours / recesses / tubes. Works okay for spraying CARC and single-stage urethanes.

    The starting line guns can usually be found for around $100, and the HF guns are generally less than $20.

    Find a used Sata NR3000 look for a 1.4 tip or if you spray alot of primer a 1.7 tip however this is kinda big for topcoat. Still wont be cheap used but it is worth the money.
     
  7. Look for a Finex gun, they are made by Sharpe I believe.

    this is iwata cheaper line they work real good for someone doing it as a hobby! i used the finishline guns for along time once i got one of these they all became primer guns. i do have satas and they are very good guns if your going to use them every day and rely on them to make money!
