Thread: anyone with experience with wagner's spray guns

hi guys, when i bunnings the other day i noticed wagner had some spray guns that had a built in compressor, and more to my notice was they had some high volume low pressure (hvlp) systems that seemed pretty good looking. im looking to finish guitars with this, as i have a friend who wants a black finish on the electric guitar i am making them.

has anyone had any experience with the systems? they seem pretty reasonable for what they seem to do, compared to a compressor and a decent gun ect. but when it is all built into one product i get a bit worried. is the thing reliable and give a good finish, or would it be something that would break after a few uses?

here is a link to the one im looking at. http://www.wagnerspraytech.com.au/po...325,59414.html it is the smallest unit in the range, and comes to around 150$ from memory. i am only looking to do guitars, which dont take too long to do. the building of a guitar takes a while to do so i dont think the thing would be used more than once every couple of months on average (that once would include a number of coats as expected)

i am not sure what i will end up spraying, but it may be nitrocellulosse like most guitars, but it may be polyurethane or something else. id like something that is quite versatile, which these guns seem to be.

so does anyone have any experience. does wagner have a good reputation? i dont know much about spraying so the fact that this system is simple is a plus, buy i am willing to learn.

thanks

luke
