 Paint gun suggestionI need to buy a new spray gun for painting. Not looking for anything facny, just need something that will do a decent job of laying down paint at a reasonable price. Any suggestions?

Re: Paint gun suggestion What, you too good for HF? ;-) Curious about this too. I know I need a good filter on my compressor but that's all I know.

Re: Paint gun suggestion Just get something cheap. I have a $30 gun I shoot non-critical stuff with.
Tip size should be somewhere around 1.3-1.5. That should shoot primer, single stage, base & clearcoat all ok. Make sure its HVLP. This one gets good reviews: http://www.amazon.com/Professional-Stai ... =paint+gun You can add a water separator to the air line, then run a disposable inline filter on the gun, like this: http://www.amazon.com/Disposable-Water- ... gun+filter _________________ "America is at that awkward stage.

Re: Paint gun suggestion Glad you brought this up. I need to pick one up too to paint all my axles, transfer case and driveshafts.
May order that one Gunni posted... _________________ 69 Wagon, 351W, Explorer EFI & Serpentine, ZF5, 35" tires, 3.5 SL, 2 BL, WARN 8274 |

Re: Paint gun suggestion If you want to spend a little more, this looks a lot like something we bought at my old shop:
