Spray Guns - Gravity vs Siphon vs Pressure Spray Guns 

Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else wants to uncover car spray painting tips try Sovallo Auto Painting Fixer (just google it ) ? Ive heard some awesome things about it and my work buddy got cool results with it.

which is much better?

A flexi pipe on the gravity feed system is a hack for spraying overhead, but two hands are required for holding the pot and gun.

@@the_famous_reply_guy, I had ideas about that.

Kun Huang glad it was helpful!

I may go airless with a fine finish tip depends on the paints you choose any paints chosen yet

We like LVMP for wood finishes but generally a wood deck will often be done with an airless

Brush is the answer not spray

@@arturo4700 *I vote hudson sprayer and back roll....wonder what he did...?

Most plural guns are conventional tho would need the model to confirm you usually want 20 cfm or more for volume

@@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo Thx for reply. The gun; Power Aero Nova CS-10 HVLP by Ntools. it’s reviewed here;ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3Zsa8CA3ui8.html. It’s supplied with 1.4 nossles. I’ve never done any spray/compressor painting before . The material is in 2x2.5L containers so I’ll have to do some ‘adapting’ to make two syphon take up containers. Thx

@@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo What do you think? (above) what do you think about two smaller pressure pots?

@@stevesculptor1 plural you usually use 2 piston pumps but could try the pressure pots mix ratio will have limited control

@@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo I'm going with two adapted pots syphon take up. You say 20 f/pm where I am that is 550 L/pm That's quite big but if it's what you say OK. Thx

An air brush is for small detail work while a spray gun is for painting products

Thanks for your soon respond and great video .

AFFLICTION08011 hi if you want to use a siphon cup you would have to choose a spray gun air cap that is siphon feed and change the fluid line to a suction cup so yes it is possible but you need a siphon air cap and separate cup to siphon out of

Pittsburgh Spray Equipment Co may have confused us... i want to use a paint pot for upholstery glue... i bought a siphon gun. its sprays like a hose. even when i unscrew air and fluid pressure on pot. wondering if its my gun or if the thinner im test shooting too thin? wondering if i need a hvlp gun or maby just guidance

we can eventually do that what would you be interested in ? A video that would cover general tips on finding the right tip size for say a standard spray gun and/ or an airless (this may be two videos)

Yea i would agree

Did you end up making the tip vid?

Hi sorry we didn't see this question typically it shouldn't need much more pressure with a long tube but if the tube is to long it can become blocked because its touching the bottom of the pressure pot

Hi Dan conventional siphon do spray like a gravity the 7 would be conventional the flg siphon setup is a conventional cap to the flg has both hvlp and conventional caps. Hvlp itself tends to not make great siphon but can be done

Airless uses high pressure against a tip to break material up and is what is most commonly used by residential and commercial contractors for painting . In general air spray guns give a finer finish than airless spray guns

Pittsburgh Spray Equipment Co Let me see if I understand this somewhat. I have a 5 HP 20 gal Craftsman air compressor and I can't remember the CFM rating but I'm sure it's not very high. My understanding is that you need a decent size 2 stage compressor to use a HVLP spray gun effectively. At least if your painting larger things like cars etc. I don't paint things that large, I would only be doing things around the house like a go kart frame, mini bike frame and a long locker room style metal bench for now anyway. Would a siphon feed spray gun be more suitable for my needs or will an HVLP gun work? What about just a gravity feed gun that's not HVLP? I'm a little confused about what would better suit my air compressor for now.....A bigger compressor maybe down the road but not in the budget right now and also don't really have the room for a bigger compressor at the moment.....

Jeff Stone you will be able to spray for a short amount of time most gravity guns are hvlp conventional will suit you better for a small compressor a siphon feed is limited with thick materials if a pressure pot is available it would give you more versatility

Pittsburgh Spray Equipment Co Thanks for the info, I've recently learned about LVLP spray guns and am considering those, they also sound like they would be more compatible with a smaller compressor....

Yes LVMP spray guns will use about 11 - 15 CFM and tend to break paint up a bit more effectively

You have to thin it alot. Thats the problem this guns are made for latex but you could use it for it. But requires extra procedures. Even on the box it says not for latex painting

@@miguelledezma1394 I found a gun QualCom (HomeSteadFinishing, they are rebranded Asturos - good Ita company) and the seller has a painting pack which includes a 2.5mm tip. It has worked well - esp for acrylic based paints from Benjamin (Stix primer, Advance).

Hi there are gravity fed turbine options like the Fuji t75 or maximum elite by titan they are both gravity fed
