HVLP gun for $33

Harbor freight has a HVLP gun on sale for $33(normal price - $65). I have not used this gun however, I hear it is pretty good.
It is a top loader & comes w/a 1.4 nozzle & a at the gun pressure regulator.

I Have a Sata 2000 which I paid over $400 for,so a gun for $33 is almost unbelievable. I ordered one just to see if it is any good. I also ordered a 2.2 nozzle so I can use the gun for primer.

I also have a top loader Sharp which I do not recommend. I currently am using a Binks model 7 for primer.

I bought one of those, but have never used. Could you keep us up to date on how it works out?

I saw a paint gun kit in harbor freight for 29.99, had a couple foam brushes, paint cups and it had a top loading Hvlp gun and a smaller touch up gun that was siphon. I wonder how good a paint job would come out with a standard siphon feed gun not Hvlp, that's all I got but I'm wondering if I should get the 33$ gun or even the 29.99 set so my paint job will look decent.

Matt,
A siphon feed gun will still turn out a quality job, But keep in mind you will use more color as more paint goes in the air then on the car. as the siphon guns require 50-65 PSI at the gun , and it just blows everywhere.

HVLP's are the guns of today ,as todays paints are designed for HVLP as they are all High Solids. And more color and clear is sprayed on the car then in the air.

I guess no one reads what I posted on gun tips.

I read it, hell I even printed it out, but what I know about painting you could put on the head of a pin. Those tips were great and I for one thank you very much

Thanks SprayTech.

Thats great guys,
I'm not mad or anything , I just want to know that the Info I post is going to some use.

Its not real easy to type the paint process , as there are some things that need to be tought hands on. I try and give it in easy to follow instructions, but sometimes it may not be clear to follow at times.

Just wish you guys were closer so I could show you instead ,as I like to teach.

You're not that far from me, maybe one of this days I can head over your way and get some good first hand advice

Hey DW, sounds like a volunteer prepper!!!

I read your postings, they's all good to me!!:3dSMILE:

No kidding BOB, I may need to get him here for a BLOCK SANDING PARTY ......LOL......That is if I ever get mine to that point as I havent worked on my 37 for a couple of months.

Bob , you have been a big help with helping me get my points across in easy to read and follow terms, as I can get to techinical at times. :3dSMILE:

Always glad to help you if I can. Dummies like me can sometimes see the simple in thangs.:p

Hey Tech, be careful about wishing for students!!! Wichita isn't that far of a drive for me!!! If you see a red Ford pickup with a white enclosed trailer sitting in your driveway you'll know that me and my Ranchero are there for lessons. If I ever get caught up on the other work around here and can get back on the beast I'm going to have a bunch of questions for you. Thanks for all the good advice on materials and technique you make available to us part time painters.

Spray Tech - We all apreciate your tech posts.Keep them coming!

Streets,
Sorry, but I can not cross reference to a Dupont color code number, as my touch mix I use is for PPG only.

I looked up the #'s you have here , and the 5230 is an Aztec Gold
And the 2672 was called a blue poly..............and that 2672 is an old color number used back in the early 90's.

Yo might call a dupont jobber and see if they can cross reference it , or just go ahead and use PPG :3dSMILE:
