Harbor freight spray gun

[Fishinspot]

I was thinking about getting one of those air spray guns from harbor freight to spray my small aluminum boat. Anyone use one of their spray guns? Do they work alright? I was thinking of getting the $59 one.

Any one have any yes/no comments?????

Thanks,

Doug

Take a look at lowes before you buy. I bought one of their kobalt gravity feed guns for about the same as the harbor freight guns, and it looks & feels much better.

Harbor Freight tools will fall apart in your hand while you are using them. Don't do it,,,,you'll be sorry!

I wouldn't buy a door stop from that store! Go to Lowe's like he said.

Hey, just picked a number, BUT ANY NUMBER WILL DO!

I bought a husky for homedepot that has worked great, even with some latex. Look for a gravity feed ( one that has the cup on top of the gun) and strain you paint very well.

Thanks everyone,

I'll check Lowes/Home Depot. Any recommendations for tip sizes? Do they come with several tips for different applications?

Thanks again,

Doug

It depends on what type of product you plan on spraying. If you plan on spraying a quality 2 part (LPU) invest in a quailty setup.

99% of automotive finishes are applied with a 1.3mm to a 1.5mm fluid tip.

With primers you will need a 1.6mm to a 1.8mm Fluid tip.

Hey,,,I forgot,,,,I have a slightly used spray gun for sale. (I professionally painted cars for over 25 years)

Its a DeVilbiss StartingLine with two fluid tips. A 1.8mm and a 1.3mm

Its got a small chip on the cap from where I dropped it. I did not drop the gun, just the cap. It does not leak.

Ive only used it about 4-5 times.

Its just the one full size gun that came in the kit. Ill take 60.00 dollars for it.

Rick,

Thanks for the offer. Does the chip affect the spraying? Also, what is the model/number? If that was a 2 gun kit, is this the larger gun or smaller gun?
