Not sure what section this should be in..

 

I need a spray gun for painting...Been looking on the tinterweb, But i dunno what sort to get...suction fed or gravity fed?

 

any advice?!

Gravity fed, no one uses suction anymore

depends what job you doing matey ive got a devilbiss gti £210 a sata £410 . theas are daddy guns that will give best finish possible on resprays general bodyshop work . ive also got a small sri devilbiss that i can run on my small compressor at home for blow ins or smaller jobs as they dont use as much preasure but i wouldnt advise using one on big jobs as it just dont cut it . yes it can be done but the size of the fan etc on them isnt very good and they dont plast the laquer out .ok for an ameature stuff .

 

anyways lets start with what you want it for an what compressor av you got .

will be spraying in my garage, using my 150ltr 3hp compressor...

 

dont really want to spend that much on a spray gun! was hoping it to be under £100!

i brought a gravity feed gun for £40 and does the job very well...alot better than the suction guns...has steve says no wastage

er well matey if you got a compressor like that its worth using a propa big gun and spending a little more you can prob pick up a devillbiss gti for 120 on ebay . trust me youll thank me in the ind otherwise using a hvlp mini jet you might aswell have a 1.5 hp compressor .
