Thread: Spray painting thin stuff

No I don't use tappatalk. What I do however do is spend 6-9 months if* my life tapping in to this POS, and trust me, the novelty of it wears off real soon! My favourite is PM as it re-formats the screen twice after rendering. The delay is invariably just perfect timing so it will shift the link just as you press it, the result is it opens the wrong page. The only real solution is to open the page and sit there waiting for 10-20 seconds while it shuffles things around the screen. Not an issue once, but I read that forum a lot and that gets real tedious real fast, especially as I'm often doing so while trying to do something else concurrently.

I'm normally a big fan of Apple products, but I'm not the only one who uses it for work who are looking forward to the new models! I'm at the point where I'll probably start hauling a MacBook again soon, the ipad is just stretched too far.

Anyway, OT albeit a frustrating one.

* case in point, it often misses the o and will select the i, I proof read before posting, but often I won't notice this one and I need to edit the post.

The gravity guns are the way to go . These type of guns bring the amateur painter into the world of a decent spray job without the years of frustration and pain associated with suction guns . The use of suction guns effectively , requires a fair amount of skill and practice and patience . The gravity guns take a lot of the awkward paint viscosity and set up experience out of the equation - they are heaps easier to use .

All I have are the super crap auto low pressure gravity guns, they had a sale on at one time and I bought two of the basic guns , they work quite well .

I struggled for years with antique old worn out Arnold suction guns , these guns were very fussy to use , being prone to blockages Mike

I've been quite happy with my Workquip cheapie, and, yes, easier than the CIG/Arnold brand suction gun I had before.

For small work I have a $30 ($24 when on special) Supercheap single action air brush and it lets me do stone chip touchups on the car almost with pleasure.

Even the Supercheap budget enamel spray cans (currently on special at 5 for $10) work out ok for me - but I warm them in a bath of hot water if I'm using them on a cold day, and I drop the nozzles from empty cans into a jar of thinners to clean them so I always have a collection of clean nozzles on hand, if required.
