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) |

"Shipping weight: 31.3lbs! What's up with that? Go with the gravity feed. It's lighter, and the $3 you'll save on purchase price, plus the unknown amount on shipping will go some way toward all the 1000, 1500, & 2000 grit sandpaper you'll be using to sand out the orange peel. As for small capacity, the place you're mixing paint can't be all that far from the "spray booth". I like taking a break every few minutes. However, since we're not really concerned about the how the paint looks after it comes out of the gun and sticks itself to the car, (in which the purchase prce and the words "Harbor Freight" and "Central Pneumatic" indicate to the contrary) the presure pot has a nicer product manual -- 5 extra pages. |
