paint sprayers

[crawdaddy]

Looking to upgrade from rattle cans to a spray gun for projects. Don't know much about them so was looking for suggestions on good guns to start with.
A hose feed gun would be nice maybe a HVLP? Any ideas or recommendations?

devilbiss startingline series is a nice beginner gun.. think you can get a gravity fullsize and touch-up for about $125 iirc.. here, $114...

a hose-fed gun is a pressure pot system.. generally a 2 qrt hanging from the belt, or like i have, a 3 gallon floor style.. plus's and minus's with a pressure system.. nice for heavy single stage apps, primer too.. don't wanna be spraying basecoat thru one...

a simple gravity feed is usually the best beginner gun... usually a decent gun will run $50 to $200...

be aware that overly cheap guns have plastic parts that melt... but a $25 Horrible Freight might last ya awhile... but no rebuild parts.. major manufacturers like Devilbiss, Binks, Sata, Sharpe, etc all have beginner lines, and good support...

oh, and all guns produced in the last 20 yrs or so are HVLP.... i actually own 3 pre HVLP guns still... 6 HVLP.. a Bink's #7, Devilbass MBC and JGA... wastes some material, but spray sweet!

Thank you. IIRC I saw that same kit a my local paint supply shop. Good to know that it is a good kit. Will prob pick it up this week and try to shoot some primer this weekend.

yeah, i forgot that kit isn't technically a reg and touch-up... use the 1.8 tip one for primers, single stage paints, clears... use the 1.3 for base, lacquers, metallics.. any questions, holla...
