ajax Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 I recently inherited a 5 horse, 22 gal. Compressor and some spray guns from a downsizing operation. I am sure the compressor will handle my needs, not sure about the guns. As for the compressor I was told to set it up with a filter to regulator to a line dryer to another regulator to one last filter then out. Does this sound right? As for the guns, they are a Campbell hausfield general purpose gun. The other is a devilbiss automotive type gun. Will either of these be suitable for spraying laquer? Any help on this would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killemall8 Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 DevilBiss Is a VERY good brand of spray gun. They are extremely expensive. Should do great for spraying guitars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob123 Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 campbell makes AMAZING products, can't go wrong with them. Just make sure they are clean and working properly and you will have a nice rig on your hands! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajax Posted July 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Yeah, I am excited to get it up and running. I just need to do some research on tips etc. I borrowed an electric pump sprayer last year to spray some cherry kitchen cabinets I built and was surprised how well it went. I was always pretty intimidated to try finishing, plus I have a buddy that was willing to trade labor for finishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonx Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 I'd be using the devillbis, but there's so many models out there. What type is it, gravity fed? Tips will depend on that product you're using. I use automotive colors and clears. I use a 1.4 for color and a 1.8 for clear. You could use a 1.3 for the color and clear if you had to, but I just like a bigger tip to help the flow for the clear. 1.3 is probably the most common used tip fir color (with auto 2k) Every type of product is different though, swap from 2k to acrylic to enamel and you change your tip sizes each time. Research, experiment and work out what products you want to use then work out gun and tips from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
