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.
I did not know Mike very well, we exchanged some messages from time to time but from what I understand he was a very good man. I was sad to learn about this
