Default New paint gun

I need a new paint gun, I sold my old siphon feed Binks "Collection" in the 80's and the last gun I purchase 10 years ago to paint few steel doors was a cheap gravity feed Husky with a 1.4 Tip. He still works, but I can't find a 1.8 tip to use it as a primer gun so It's useless for my needs.

Sata or Iwata are crazy expensive! No way I spend that much money on a paint gun and there is no way I spend $150 on a POS DeVilBiss Starting line set either, so I set my budget to $250 for the gun alone, he must work with my 21cfm fix compressor and my portable 10cfm portable unit, a LVLP or HVLP is what I'm looking for.

I like the DV Finish line deal on SPG site but any better advice is welcome

i actually have a devilbiss starting line set here and both guns spray very well, i think the base/clear gun sprays almost as well as my sata's.

love my old binks guns, but I purchased a devilbiss finishline HVLP a few years back and it I like it for Base/clear.
But a good man can make a cheap gun work well.

I don't want to poop in your cereal Tim but the DV Starting line got poor reviews everywhere on the net and are apparently not better than all those anodized Chinese guns you can find on EB, they need a lot of air volume and I doubt the little TRUE 3hp 10cfm@90Lb portable compressor I build can't keep up feeding them. (I need a mobile setup)

Affordable Astro, Asturo and few Iwata copies out there got good reviews, but most are done by the average Joe (like me) or newbie saying they like the anodized color.. Go figure!

True George! And a idiot can make the best one look like crap! I use to have a good hand and I did a good job with the crappy Husky ( No run, No orange peeling...) but practice is the key to get back on track.

How much are you going to use it? If your gonna be using it for a business, then I'd buy a professional gun. If your gonna shoot now and then I've used the harbor frieght hvlp guns with good results. I used their larger gun to shoot my 1200 and used their smaller one so far on my 1211. It's a knockoff of the sata gun, I didn't have any issues with it.

Panel look good!

If I count my 3 son projects +2 motorcycle + 3 Cub Cadet and a trailer let's say about 10 times but who knows! My retirement is imminent! (2 or 4 years) I want to restore a nice convertible! Ideally a Porsche Boxter S! I'm not done buying toys yet! I will never paint a Porsche with an HF gun! No no no...LOL

I like the DV finish line, he fit my budget and as far I'm concern if the painter know what he's doing a little bit... (I'm far from there yet LOL)

Enough say, DV FL it is and I let my 3 boys deal with it. Thank you folks for your suggestion.

Ps: The Porsche? I have a friend who own a paint shop, I pay him! LMAO

I know "squad" about turbine system but I found this long thread and can't stop reading it! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/t...ystems.529675/

Post 201 give this link to build a turbine on the cheap: https://books.google.com.ag/books?id...%20Rig&f=false

I like it! I's portable and minimize overspray, I just wonder if the gun do a good job atomizing the paint, warm air can dry the paint before hitting the surface, you need to stay close and run fast I suppose?

Exactly my experience using a turbine set up years ago, Maybe they have made then better now.

I would stick with a "normal" hvlp gun if it were me.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
