Im looking for people's opinions on what they have used or heard of being a great paint gun thats affordable. And can i just buy one gun to primer/paint my hatch or do I need two?

thanx,
mike

 

bump for advice

 

i use the devilbis gti gravity feed guns. and the devilbis pri primer gun.
you can get away with just using the 1 gun but you will need to make sure its well cleaned inbetween using dif products etc. all thoe if u can afford it u are better having a gun for primer,gun for base coat and a gun for clear coat.
i have used the sata jet aswell but was expensive too buy over here

 

All ive ever used is a sata. Having a gun for primer and paint is nice but not nessicary you just need to make sure that you adjust between steps (each product sprays different) and make sure that its super clean before you spray next product.

 

i appreciate it alot guys!

thanx,
mike

ohh ok, thanx(as a kit)

 

Astro has a nice kit. Comes with 2 guns for like $120. And that compressor is small for an entire car paint job

 

Astro, i'll check it out thanx. And the compressor is too small for an eg hatch? damn! What size and brand do think would work or if you have a link.

thanx,
mike

 

I would get a cheap primer gun someting with a 1.6 or 1.8 tip would suffice, you dont want chuncks of pimer in your paint. Cheap guns sometimes leave more orange peel then good ones, unless you really know your paint product, and skillz, well it takes alot.....

 

I'd like to see some paint jobs done with that kit..... I'd wouldn't use those for paintin anything else but small parts...
this is actually not that bad of a gun if you looking for cheap, not the best, but for the price pretty good IMO.. http://www.autobodytoolmart.com/pc-1...-kit-m707.aspx

 

main thing is too make sure all the prep is done too as high a standard as possible as at the end off the day the paint can only go on as smooth as the preped panel. last thing u wont is scratches or ripples etc in trhe boddy work showing threw.
the compressor u got will run out air before u get around the full car id say ud need to keep stoping too alow it too build up air

 

x10! a quailty paint job in mostly in the prep work..

 

thanx guys, anyone have any suggestions on compressors that you have worked with or heard that are pretty sufficient? Has anyone used this kit:DeVilbiss

Sata for base, Iwata for clear, and dont look back.

Two of the best guns i've ever used.

 

He said affordable, not most expensive.

 

lol...ya'll have been alot of help, thanx! Lastly any links on good places to order primer,base coat, and clear coat from? And perhapse some reliable product names.
I know im asking alot of questions but, hey gotta learn from other people's experiences...plus it puts alot ya'lls knowledge to some use in this forum! lol

again thanx,
mike

 

what colour is it you are going too paint it?

 

They both seem pretty affordable to me, it was well worth the buy IMO.

 

the sata jet digital guns here sell for around £450 whichis around $800 odd .
great guns but pricey here

 

Never said it wasnt worth the money as I own both of there guns but I also paint cars for a living.
