Paint Guns...

Whats a good gravity fed paint gun out there for the best bang for the buck?

the harbor freight guns are not that bad, they are actually pretty good. they just don't last that long and wear out after 30-40 cars.

if you are just going to paint a couple of cars that is the way to go.

unless you want to spend $500 + for a Binks or a Sata

yah, only really planning on spraying my car. How much do they usually run for?

[der affe]

well under $100

[evil_twin]

I've found a few on www.thetoolwarehouse.net but I don't know if they're good or not. They're under 50 dollars.

as long as it is an HVLP you should be fine.
most are china copies of binks or sata guns anyways

So looking at those guns (which are the ones I believe that you're talking about) what would be a good choice there?

Don't worry, I forget that some people don't work on cars for a living heh.

[der affe]

i used to do that too ^^^

the combo pack is your best bet. that way you have a small "detail" gun for the door jams etc, and a full size gun for the rest.

those are binks copies BTW. i am not so hot on the plastic paint cups though. be careful not to break them. :(

You think that metal paint cup would work with the combo pack set up?

[der affe]

yes, buy it in both sizes to replace the plastic crap!
the plastic will probably shit on you from cleaning the gun with thinner!
