Advice on a Paint Sprayer


PBR

Recommended Posts

never used an airless but HD used to sell a Porter-Cable top feed HVLP gun for about $100. The Binks 2001 is an old work horse too but not HVLP. You'll have to cut the latex with distilled water maybe upto 20% to get it to spraying consistency. remember to coat all the parts of the gun (needle, nozzle, etc.) with CRC or 6-56 after you break it down and clean the latex out or it'll rust on yer.

if you havent done this and you are going to use an hvlp make sure you use 100% acrylic latex paint.Ive had some amazing results with DTM(direct to metal) paints thinned about a quarter. you WILL have to thin it .also use some cheesecloth or a paint strainer to strain the paint first. oil paint doesnt work all that well through an hvlp(although I havent tried in 10 or more years, oil paint has changed since then) an hvlp does not atomize the paint but kind of spits it through. obviously try a test till you get a consistency in the paint that sprays well. good luck
