Thread: what tip sizes??

Tweet

So, in what you are saying.. I should do all of the prep work, and have a shop shoot it. With the cheapy gun I should be able to shoot primer, and a sealer don't you think?? The shop would have all of the good guns. I see your point also about buying paint in town. I remember when I had the Honda painted. It was Milano red. $94 a quart. I figure blue wouldn't cost as much. The car is kept mostly in the garage. My neighborhood isn't the best in town. It was before they built low income town homes across the street from my house..
I would also be able to look at paint chips there insted of guessing from the computer. I do know Barry. I have talked to him before. Thanks.. Al

Al,
I bought two of the Harbor Freight "purple guns" - they have two different guns, the one that's $10 on sale, and another that's $15 or so on sale that they call "professional". I had one of each ... I was spraying primer with the better of the two when the fisheye mess hit me. I sanded off two coats of epoxy primer before my paint guy loaned me one of his guns and it laid down a perfectly flat coat. I went back and bought a Finex gun from him -
http://www.sharpe1.com/sharpe/sharpe...e/Finex+FX2000 and the following primer coat and finish color were fine. I know that lots of people have had acceptable service from the HF guns, but as expensive as the paint & primer are, it just doesn't make sense to me. I would recommend that you buy yourself a decent, mid-range gun (mine was $140) and do the whole job yourself. You'll have the satisfaction of knowing you did it, and you're building a driver, not a trailer queen so it'll be great!!

i spray all of my paint with a hvlp from napa. paid just under 200 for it and i love it. They have a sale on one model that comes with 3 tips. Merry Christmas to me!
