I've been using the cheap Harbor Freight spray gun just to spray epoxy primer inside internal cavities that won't be seen, but now I need to get a better gun for the rest of the project. I'm leaning toward the Devilbiss StartingLine kit because it comes with a variety of tips but reviews are all over the matt. I'm pretty impressed with the results @aggiezig got with it. Eastwood's Concours 2 gun also caught my eye. Wondering what others might recommend. I want to keep the cost under $200ish. I'll be spraying PPG Deltron line paints (DCC single stage and DBC basecoat with DC clear) in silver metallic if that makes a difference.
Thanks! |

Check this guy out and his recommendations - I was looking at his #3 pick, the DeVilbiss SGK 1.4mm (FLG5) The Gunmans Top Ten Sprayguns These are good quality spray guns. Stay away from these: The ANI's have thin necks and have been known to break if they hit the floor. Airgunsa are showing up more in the industry as throw away sealer guns. Not great for color or clear. Think Italian Harbor Freight except a notch higher. Parts serviceability is known to be sketchy. They used to be known under the name IMPACT. The castings and foundry are done in Italy and final machining/ assembly I think was in the Czech republic if I recall. They have been sold under a bunch of names over the years. |
