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) |

As stated the "dusting" or Fogging" is intended to let the metallics spread out evenly after the base coat is applied. If you look at a lot of the home done jobs at a car show you can see the striping, especially on silver and dark blue cars. I personally use a SATA for my primer (1.7) a SATA 2000 for my bases, and an IWATA for my clears. IWATA seems to atomize even better than the SATA's. I also have a set of cheapo Titan guns for quick spot priming and chassis black etc. that aren't bad for a do-it yourselfer. My concern with "new" technology is one founded by my personal experience. My first real gun was a Devilbiss OMX. It was a new tech gun made of some type of plastic. GREAT gun, you could shoot your high build primer, clean the gun quickly, apply you base, your clear and airbrush with it. They have an internally adjustable tip. Why was it a bad experience?? None of the old schoolers trusted a plastic gun and it was discontinued after about 5 years. I still have it and still use it ans stand by it. Is it as nice as the SATA's and Iwata....NO. But I still like it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)
