turn gravity feed into pressure feed
Before I even start I know many of you will think I'm nuts and what I want to do is deplorable. Never-the-less, I'm still going to ask my question.
I'm thinking of buying a DeVilbiss Finishline 4 Waterborne gun and want to know if anyone has turned it into a pressure feed by simply removing the cup and running a paint hose over the shoulder to get a reasonable entry angle.
Now before you start growling, I don't plan to ever even try to be a pro painter and the reason I'm thinking of this scheme is that most of my projects will be small and I can use the gravity cup just fine. But occasionally I anticipate painting a small outbuilding or a utility trailer or maybe even a very old pickup and would rather not have to refill the paint cup frequently.
Also, every paint project I do will likely be for myself and I'm not terribly obsessed with quality.
To sum it up, I can only afford one gun of fair quality but would like to mostly use that one gun as gravity feed but occasionally as pressure feed.
on small cars yes. but fat fender cars are pretty much the same in size and weight as the donor car. i found s10 brakes work great on fat fender and pickups. a deuce will just need manual brakes...
Time for brakes
