PAINT GUN

Well, I'll give you an opinion. Everyone wants a "beautiful paint job". I happen to believe though that when it comes to paint spraying, the quality of the end product has more to do with the person doing the painting than the equipment used. That is not to say that great jobs can be had with junk equipment. They can't. But the best equipment doesn't guarantee an acceptable job. Very good results can indeed be had with something less than the very best and most expensive. DeVilbiss is a big name in spray equipment and has been for many years. They also can be on the pricey side. I have no particular experience with the actual gun you describe but have no doubt that it is fully capable of producing a fine result. Call me biased maybe because my three guns are all DeVilbiss. There are a number of other manufacturers and models however that are equally as good, I am sure.

Whatever gun you get, if you are new to painting by spray, you should plan on doing a considerable amount of practice on vertical sheet metal before you charge ahead on you tractor parts. It's not difficult but it does require a certain knack that can only be learned by trial and error. Best that the error occur on a test piece than on you tractor hood. It would be well worth your time and additional expense to do this.
