A 600 dollar paint gun for a 200 dollar tractor.

I bought an expensive cup gun years ago when I was painting cars as a side line. I have been using two 60 dollar HVLP guns for the last 6 or 7 years. I cleaned up the old cup gun last fall and by crackie I think my 60 buck guns were ever bit as good. Of course I am not a painter by trade, I just paint and only my own stuff.

I agree. A $70 Home Depot gun is as good as any other gun for the vast majority of DIY painting.

whelp, he dint say price was no object!!!lol, those three are the top guns in the marketplace today. there are quite a few lower prices guns that also do a great job. my first hvlp gravity gun was a cheapie astro gun for under a hundred. its a sata copy, sata parts are interchangeable withit. napa also has some decent guns for the money, and parts are readily available, which, i think is very important. the worst things that happen with spray guns is they get abused and not maintained. cleaning them is the MOST important thing you can do to keep it spraying correctly.

the gun is only part of the problems. i can spray with a home depot gun, harbor frieght gun, but i own 4 satas, one iawata, 4 harbor frieght guns and a couple others. i paint alot. the key to painting is to get a product data sheet from the paint company. on this sheet, if its a good company it will give you gun set up info, air pressure, mixing instructions, and special info like fisheye elimnator. they write the stuff for a reason if one gun has a nozzle of 2.2 and they recommend 1.3 you will drop paint all over and waste it. also the gun manufacturers have pds also. if you put to much air to an hvlp gun the fan will blow apart causing uneven application and possibly runs etc. you will be amazed at the amount of problems people make for themselves by playing chemist. the new coatings are not like the cheap tractor coatings. if you need med reducer and have slow and fast, they dont mix 50/50 and make med. the chemicals may react totally backwards, the acids and stuff might not play well. im not trying to be a know it all, im trying to help, i learnd alot in the last five years reading pds sheets
