SouthSideSlider · 05-30-2009, 07:19 PM

that'll be different

***TitaniumTT*** · 06-01-2009, 09:47 AM

Buy a real HVLP gun

Max777 · 06-02-2009, 07:52 AM

HVLP? The internetz says that gravity fed is better. Since I dont know shit other than that, can you please elaborate?

***TitaniumTT*** · 06-02-2009, 08:40 AM

Gravity fed is "better" but that really doesn't have squat to do with HVLP..... and I hope Classic chimes in here.

You can actually use a gravity fed updside down with a vacuum bag inside the container, but that's irrelevant for the purpose of my comment.

HVLP means High Volume Low Pressure. I said buy a real gun becuase the ones he bought are crap. I've used crap guns, and they piss me off. I've used expensive guns and they are more consistant, the adjustments actually adjust shit, and they just work better. Got to an online retailer and look at the price of some of the higher end guns, the name brand guns, Sharpe, Devilbiss, Sata, etc etc etc. They are starting @ $200 for the low end models and run upto $500, not $50 from Horror Freight. There is a reason for this.

SouthSideSlider · 06-02-2009, 09:11 AM

ummmm i'm not complaining about the guns cause i got then Free. now if i ever do get around to painting my car i will get much better guns

***TitaniumTT*** · 06-02-2009, 11:33 PM

If you're not painting a car................ why post pics of spray guns? Oh wait, you're painting your friends car.

Call me an old grumpy asshole, but I would rather throw shit tools away and spend the money than be pissed off at free tools.

Fidelity101 · 06-03-2009, 01:43 AM

SouthSideSlider · 06-06-2009, 01:42 PM
