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? (IMG:http://www.spraygunworld.com/Database/DEV/GFG670.jpg) |

Ok guys, for those of you who wanted to keep updated on my do-it-yourself paint experience. I had the opportunity to paint my brother's honda. He bought a wrecked honda that needed the front fenders, hood, and bumper replaced, and I told him I would shoot it for practice. This was the first time using the Devilbiss 670 "plus". The gun is awesome. I only got two runs, and that was in the primer/sealer. I just got impatient and laid it on too thick. I also ran into some imperfections laying on the metallic basecoat, basically faint streaks. I think I can get better at that with practice. Also, I had a fair amount of orange peel in the clear coat, but I was able to buff all that out. See the photo. It looks pretty darn good. The gun is very forgiving, and you can go slow and not get runs, which is great for us newbies.
The white spots is just compound splattered on the hood. Has a nice glassy shine! Attached image(s)
