20 oz gravity feed (seems kinda small, $32)
pressure pot (2 quarts! $35) This would be for painting a 914. I have a couple regular spray guns, which I would use for primer and for shooting paint deep under the fenders. I'd like to use an HVLP to do the overall exterior. I'll be painting it on a rotisserie if that matters. Go ahead and tell me to buy a $250 "real" spray gun... it won't work. I'm in full CSOB "git 'er done" mode now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

Buy this gun
Its LVLP ( LOW Volume Low Pressure) meaning it wont tax your compressor so much. Most home compressors can barely keep up with a HVLP gun. The evo needs 7.8 cfm at 40 psi, but I have found spraying high solids clears that 25-29 psi is fine Oh the Evo is $154 but worth it, though you can get by with cheap guns. The EVo is very efficient with paint meaning more paint is sticking to the car than getting wasted as overspray Also you can always EBAY the gun when your done with it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |
