Spray Guns

Is there such thing as a spray gun that doesn't require a compressor? I need something to spray bike frames and I'd rather not have to get a compressor as well.

 

A Rattle Can......?
I really don't think you want to use a Wagner to spray Automotive paint....unless you are shooting tractor paint.

 

Rattle cans

...Stevie G beat me to it

 

I type with like...three fingers man.
I can't believe we hit send at the same time.

 

yeah i was hoping for something other than spray cans, but oh well. thanks!

 

there is a sprayer called a preval(acronym for precision valve),mix your paint,put it in the container ,and spray like hell.
they come with their own propellant.

 

ive seen that sprayer before stealth. I dunno if its big enough to sprayer an entire cruiser frame. it says it sprayers up to 16 oz. before it has to be replaced. is that enough?

 

Get yourself a detail gun. They work good for bike frames, and will work on a very small compressor. You can use a portable air tank too, but it's more of a pain in the *** than its worth.

 

you can actually buy an electric spray gun,now they aint as good as the real thing but they work ok........Marq

 

thanks for all the posts guys. I guess it cant hurt to try out this preval thing, its kinda cheap. I wonder if it can shoot flake???

 

no. it can't. you need a gun with a large tip to shoot flake. you can shoot micro thru most guns including airbrush guns and detail gun but it will clog quick if you don't know what your doin...ken....

 

PPG makes flakes now such as Flamboyance and Prismatic that shouldn't require a special tip. It depends what kind of flake you are looking for.
