paint guns

HappyCamper · 07-September-04, 11:48 PM

I want to buy a paint gun, but i have no idea what to look for really. I have air compressors and stuff, but i really don't know much on the subject. If I bought a gravity-fed paint gun, what kind of paint would I put in it to spray? Ebay has some for like 25-30 bux, is that a fair price for a decent gun?

I'm a newbie myself, so I can't be of that much help, but you realize that you will need a compressor if you don't already have one, right? don't forget to factor that into the cost along with a respirator to stop you lungs from getting clogged with chemicals.

Yeah I've got a compressor.

HC, I have your drive cage BTW.

Anyway, if you want a decent gun for around $25, Menards has a pretty decent GFG for $25. I have one and absolutely love it. It comes with spare parts also, which is what makes it a decent buy cuz that is about the only thing cheap guns have against them, you usually cant find replacement parts.

If you want to come up sometime and get the cage I will show it to you and also give you some pointers on painting. If you come on a Sat. or Sun. I can even whip up a case to do up while you are here so you can get a feel for the whole process.
