GRAVITY SPRAY GUN HVLP

 

Ive been reading around and every one recommends these grav feed HVLP guns, they seem to range from $50 - $100 (Store in US for $50US + shipping) for a cheap one.

 

What kinda of compressor would i need to run one of these? Alot of them recommend up to 40 CFM. Is there any cheap (under $200) that could run one of these? All the specs Ive got are in L/Min

 

The one I'm looking at is P/Disp: 232L/min FAD: 131L/min

you need a compressor worth at least $650

a $200 2.5hp compressor *will* spray a car, but you'll have to stop and start alot, generally not reccomended

 

if you just want to paint, hire a compressor for the week and do it during holidays

You can borrow mine if you like. It's 13 CFM, and will run off 10 amp....

I've been looking into this too, and Tradetools sell all. You need something at least equivalent to an RP13E. I want to buy one, but first I need to win a lottery. Especially since I now officially have no computer (yay, have internet at home but nothing to plug it to) cause I've sold my desktop and my laptop hard disk crashed yesterday...)

Renegade RP13 is what mine is. I love it, it's a weapon. It'll run anything all day.

I want yours :D

your a champ :D

you're. apostrophe of abbreviation signifies phrase is short for "you are"

your. expression of ownership. eg "your corolla, my corolla"

 

kids these days have no bloody grammar skills

my spellings worse, thank the gods for iSpell :D

a good mate of mine works/runs (family business) a place called Compak. They specialise in compressors, battery chargers & air tools

if you see something you like i may be able to get a good price for you. Their stuff is top quality

We spent $800 on our compresser (19 CFM from memory), but then again, its a real one :D (You get what you pay for)

 

If you want tools, also check out trade tools direct, they sell shitloads of nice tools, I drool every time I walk into one of their stores..

 

Also note that the spray gun there has a 2.0MM nozzle, 2.0MM is more of a putty gun than a spray gun, for spraing paint (colour) your best off with a 1.5MM to 1.7mm nozzle..

NickAE86: What sort of money would be required to get something roughly equivalent to the RP13 from Compak? And I would assume spare parts would be available if required?

hey demuire

 

i'll ask for you tomorrow. Afaik all parts on the compak compressors are replaceable unlike some. They come with a warranty...i can't quite remember the rest of the details but i'll post the info tomorrow

Also note that the spray gun there has a 2.0MM nozzle, 2.0MM is more of a putty gun than a spray gun, for spraing paint (colour) your best off with a 1.5MM to 1.7mm nozzle..

 

most for sale now are all 1, 1.4 or 2mm? would 1.4 be ok?

Edited April 14, 200521 yr by Jason

1.4 would be ideal
