Just ordered my spray gun, New technology gun Options

[thomasotten]

I just ordered my spray gun. I chose a Divilbiss G670 gun. This is a new technology gun that claims to be perfect for low air consumption. This may be the ideal gun for us do it at home types - I have a 30 gal. sears compressor. It is rated for 9cfm @ 30 psi.

Technically, it is not classified as an HVLP gun, but it offers the same benefits such as > 65% transfer effeciency.

paid $275. Anyone else paint their own?

Been in paint for years and I work for Toyota Motor MFG. KY. as a Group Leader in the paint shop. The HVLP guns hit the market years ago to deal with the EPA not for the finish. Atomizing the paint gives you good coverage and a smoother finish. It's like covering your floor with ping pong balls or basket balls. The ping pong ball size will give a better cover and flow out smoother. We are going to Sata guns at work. They are the gun most of the custom paint guys are using. I've used DeVillbis in the past and was always pleased by how they performed. The real trick that is most often overlooked is viscosity. If you don't have a good mix your finish will suffer. If you really want to see some coverage, check out a pressure fed electrostatic gun. Of course there are techniques that go along with it as well. The spray gun companies are getting really competitive and of course everything is new and improved even if it isn't. I deal with vendors all the time pushing the gotta have it guns. I never used the gun described but would say you'd be satisfied.
