Do's and Don'ts of Spray Painting.

[doug hodder]

I don't know about the others, but with Binks, you get a Y shaped hanger to hang the gun in when filling...but then you're paying plenty and ought to get one..but maybe it was with the cup as you don't get a cup when you buy the gun... however, just cut out a piece of plywood that you can clamp/ screw to the bench top with a notch in it that will cradle the gun just below the cup...at the bottom of the Y drill a large dia hole for the cup to sort of rest in...just an idea...there's nothing worse than dumping a cup full of catalyzed paint on the floor...Doug

Yeah, I was wondering just how to go about filling without a mess all the time. Thanks.

Lousy old pic... but just make yourself one of these:

I will make it a project to get something built that is portable. I will have to move all the painting gear outside paint and then move it all back into the house. Thanks for the descriptions. And thanks for the pic Brick, and I know that rhymes.

I am a little late getting in on this topic. Nightcap you most happier with a top loader gravity fed hvlp spray gun. Like Dean and Ma3tt with their irons. well I beleive I have like 16 spray guns. Siphon fed ( cup on bottom) 4 Develblis 2 Binks, gravity fed ( cup on top ) 2 Croix, 4 Iwata and 2 detail gun I forget the make and also 3 airbrush. Just can't get myself to part with any of my tools.

Boy do I know that feeling... I'vw still got an airbrush my mother gave me in 1965 (a Wold that don't make any more, good one too). I have at least 10 others too... But, I will jest keep 'em all.

I didn't know it was possible to get rid of tools! Is that even legal???
I just keep collecting them, buy something new and usually still end up using what I bought the new one to replace .

I don't know? I done bought the house next door and dang near got it filled up (not to mention a four car garage).
Have they got a 12 step program for tool junkies?

Nightimes....it is ILLEGAL for any male to get rid of tools in 45 states as of 1/1/2005...Females can, but they usually trade up for the new colors...which means more tools for us guys.... crap...hope I didn't start any stuff on that one!! Doug

I exchanged my spray gun in for this one and will start spraying today. I can't wait to be waterproof.

NightCap... Cool beans... That's a great gun for the money. I know LOT of people who use it. I usually set my compressro on about 50lbs and the gun regulator about 15lbs... Good starting point for you anyhoo. Have fun.

Yeah, it works great. Used it and cleaned it. Got to start the process all over tomorrow. Thanks for suggesting this gun.
