Spray gun

[Burn Victim]

Anyone out there have any exp. with Huskys HVLP Gravity feed spray-gun?I was thinking of picking one up but was wondering what kind of results to expect from it.I know alot has to do with the painters skill(I paint residential and comercial buildings,I know auto is different....but I think I will be able to catch on....)I dont need show quality....but would like somethind decent.Whatcha think???????

I'm not sure about a gravity gun but I use a constant flow HVLP gun at work from spraying polysilicon boxes (crucibles). Its real easy to adjust and fine tune, just make sure that you do light coats. I have heard that gravity fed gun can clog up but have never had that happen to me. I think it has to do with how the mixture is.

You'll be surprised how well you can have a basic paint job can come out if you just take a little extra time with it.

I've actually heard good things about the hvlp guns from Harbor Freight. HVLP's are going to waste a lot less paint than the standard guns. Just spray a test piece of cardboard and tune the gun and you should have no problems.

That would make a good primer gun but I wouldn't use it to paint.

But I'm guessing you're not going to be painting tons of cars and you just want to make your Jeep look nicer, so in that case go for it.:thumbsup:

I spray intruments for a living and we use the Central Neumatic HVLP's from Harbor Freight for some of the satin paints (they're cheap and work good for what we do) we use and have had good results but it takes a lot of fine tuning to get them to spray gloss well. I have been buying and using Husky tools a lot more lately and have not been disapointed yet. I would guess that it would work good for you and really would like to know how it works if you do try it. How much do they want for it?:thumbsup:

Thanks for the input guys,with that I think Im going to go ahead and pick it up.It will be awhile before I will be laying any paint down on some of my other projects(the jeep still needs quit abit more work since the house fire)Just trying to get tools then material then there will be nothing stoping me(excecpt time,work,kid,you know the drill....)Will definatly let you all know how well it works though.

This was done with a Harbor Freight 19.95 HVLP spray gun - as good a gun as I've used, and I started 35 years ago with a Binks #7. It might not hold up for everyday professional use, but it was more than acceptable for this job.
