prs man Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I have 3 guns 2 are devilbiss. one pint gun [ I would call it a touch up gun] it works great for spraying color. the second gun is bigger I use it for clear.I only use the big gun for spraying clear lacquer. I just bought a top feed gun from harbor freight and it works great 39.00 sale price 16.00 the compressor is a emglo model Emglo AM99-HC4V 2 Horsepower 5.6 CFM Compressor Yield 125 PSI with air line regulator with twin tanks small but enough to spray finish all day long and use a nail gun when I need it put new shingle on my house. looking on Amazon dewalt has the same kind for 250.00 with free shipping. I spray using 35 psi. make sure your gun is clean and free from dirt and old finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acousticraft Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 The main thing to look at is to make sure the air consumption of the spray gun you get is less than what the compressor can deliver. So in realistic terms you will probably need a minimum of a 2.5HP compressor most likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjhalsey Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 I have 2 of the Dura Block 7004GMS and they come stock with a 1.0 tip. I bought the .8 and the 1.2 tips and they will spray stain, clear and flake with no problem at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
