    Paint spray gun

    I want to buy a set to prime and paint my bodywork. Any advice? Kits? I do like a carrying case with them/it. HVLP gravity feed. Thanks

    Re: Paint spray gun

    I got a Husky HVLP gun (among other things) when an uncle had passed away.

    Recently finished doing new fairings, etc and learned a hell of alot in the process. I could type a bible about what I learned but I'd rather talk because it's easier.

    PM inbound.

    I got a bid in on a 3 gun kit on Ebaymotors. 8+ hours to go. HVLP gravity feed all the way.

    Cheap guns can do a nice job. Biggest things are doing very good prep and smooth sanding, having the guns adjusted to atomize just right and laying the paint on nice and smooth, light and consistant. It's tough.

    It's all water under the bridge, and we do enter the next round-robin. Am I wrong?

    I've had and used a husky set up for a while... does a great job - but the pro stuff I get to use on occasion is noticeably better.
