thoughts?

also, if anyone has any reccomendations for a gun NO MORE that 250$ that would be great.
i will need to spray primer base and clear. which is why i like the act it comes with 3 tips

 

Looks okay to me but you might want to check around. I have found that a lot of times you can find the same brand and part number stuff that Eastwood is selling for quite a bit less money.

It sucks having to use one gun for all three duties but I understand being on a tight budget and you gotta start somewhere. Amirite?

 

well its for a x mas present.
i could probably get a gun from the votech center i go to ( tekna) and we use 1 gun for everything.. i just dont really like how that gun sprays primers and clear

 

Better to have your own than one that countless others have had a chance to **** up. And using one gun will just mean that your gun cleaning skills will get REALLY good. LOL!

oh, i do plan on using the DEKUPS system anyways

 

haha yeah, i mean, i dont think that it will affect anything as far as spraying goes since you change the needle anyways

 

You probably know more about paint guns than I do anyway. Painting cars is one thing that I admit that I'm not real skilled at. Of course, I always had to use some cheap *** $20 gun. Never had any good stuff to use. That, and I am really critical of my work. Someone else could do the same exact quality and I would think it was top rate but if I did it I would think it was ****.

 

im the same way. lol

 

imo id go for a cheap primers suctionfed gun and buy a goood hvlp for base/clear, n would check ur local auto parts stores for deals some times they have2 gun specials, i know they used to sell a good sharpe set for round 3bills for both{auto value i think}

 

I Used a Harbor Freight "Purple gun" with a 1.7 tip for the epoxy and the high build. You will be sanding it so a little orange peel does not really matter too much. They go on sale for 30 dollars and are a gravity feed gun.

I used a Sharpe Finex 3000 Hvlp Gravity gun with a 1.3 tip for the base coat and clear coat and it shoot nice once it was dialed in. It was around 100 dollars. Well made and a nice gun

The trick with all guns is to set them up correctly before you start to paint and do 50% overlaps.
