Shane Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 This is the gun I am intending to use to spray my car with. I know its a cheap and nasty one, can anyone give me an idea what type of pressure I need to set my regulator to? Also on the side it has a fan adjust knob, any ideas how to set this up would be great. Had a search on google and have a few ideas but am trying to learn as much as I can before I dive in.

evinX Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Dude go down b&q and pick up a decent gravity feed for around £30 ish, suction feed will be a pain when going low to the ground;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I use an iwata HVLP gun, and usually set around 2.5 bar. Paint mix depends very much on what paint... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 http://www.sfeg.co.uk/pdf/5_19.pdf Have a look here, pretty much the same as yours, what size nozzle are you usesing? Actually I have one of those exact guns as well, but it has the wrong type of air fitting for my hose. Ok silly question coming up, how can I find out what size of nozzle the orange one has? Dude go down b&q and pick up a decent gravity feed for around £30 ish, suction feed will be a pain when going low to the ground;) Yeah I considered this, and in fact Screwfix do some too that are gravity fed, but from what I read there are pros and cons of both systems. I use an iwata HVLP gun, and usually set around 2.5 bar. Paint mix depends very much on what paint... Ok thanks Gav, thats interesting as I read on a site earlier that 40psi is a good starting pressure on simple small guns. Paint I am using is cellulose and supplier advised 1:1. This is like the other one I have, but I need to buy the hose adaptor to fit. http://www.screwfix.com/prods/67516/Power-Tools/Air-Tools/Professional-Gold-Spray-Gun And this is one I was considering buying: http://www.screwfix.com/prods/21063/Power-Tools/Air-Tools/Gravity-Feed-Spray-Gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
