BIG G Posted February 27, 2008 Report Posted February 27, 2008 going to buy a better spray gun to do my bodywork now the underbonnet is done. whats the benifits of either... suction or gravity fed guns not looking to spend a fortune but the gun i had came with 5 other acessorys and cost me 20 quid so prob not the best. but it does leave a good finish.
flyingbanana Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 gravity guns are the best one's has you have no wastage and also less suction needed to get it out the gun
Rick Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 get the hvlp type too if you can you dont need a mega compressor then
over_head_cam Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 You wont keep banging the pot on the motor too with a gravity fed I bought one of those 20 quid jobbies on eBay expecting it to be shit, and I was pleasantly surprised that it works quite well
Fiesta Steve Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 Gravity fed seem to work better when held at strange angles as well
kirk10 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 you wont go far wrong with 1 of these mate had mine for a few years now briliant gun 1 thing you will need to look out for is a stainless steel air cap and needle really as it will be all water based and will need the stainless steel
