    Default spray gun

    Hellow I am wanting to uprgade to a spraygun setup I have a compressor and everything but I am needing a new gun I am thinking of maybe a sata minijet but am not sure I am just looking for some advice on the subject I know I want something gravity feed,small and maneuverable and I am not sure about hvlp because I am mainly using it for nitrocellulose clear laquer and maybe sand and sealer and possibly the occasional dye for a sunburst the only thing is I am hesitant because I remeber somebody saying that hvlp doesn't work well for clear.

    I can't help you with brand specific advice as I'm down here in AUS.
    But hvlp and nitro is fine realy.... I have several HVLP units and spray nitro with them no prob.

    If you are looking for small and manoverable look at a HVLP gravity touch up.

    I have a little generic one & its great IO think it take about 150mL.

    Its great for spraying small stuff like plane handles and fiddly stuff and it sprays out to nothing..... Mate! you could spit in it and it would spray.

    cheers
    Any thing with sharp teeth eats meat.
    Most powertools have sharp teeth.
    People are made of meat.
    Abrasives can be just as dangerous as a blade.....and 10 times more painfull.

    Perfect for doing bursts.

    That's what they do best. It's all in the correct thinning ratios and that's just a bit of trial and error on scrap to see what works best for the finish you're after. I've used 2 pack for the past 12yrs or so , and you just can't beat the hvlp guns for spray adjustments and control.
