Sata have a very good rep and I know Roger is a fan of them, apparentlt there's a company out there who do very good knock off copies for a fair bit less than the Sata price.

long story there ! it has sat in their compound since 28th March. no paint......went in today and kicked off a bit, guy says he will prep and prime this friday, then sat morning i will go into the booth with him and he will show me what to do. it has to be sprayed white first (roof is white) then rubbed back and the main body will be painted yellow the following day the white will be a base coat to brighten the yellow further. will take pics though.

I do indeed like my Sata guns .... but then again the guy who trained me used them so it's what I got used to.

HVLP gun won't be cheap, what compressor have you got? do you know the CFM output. If any one needs spares for a devilbiss guns drop me a message, i work for a disstributor for them and have all the tech documents on the guns.

Steve, I have a JGA that is donkeys years old, still use it for regular primer. JGA and GTi are very similar, it's just the air cap technology that moved on for the GTi, basically the GTi is just a HVLP JGA. Should have mentioned that a good friend of mine regularly paints VW campers with a Clarke gun and swears buy it ..... he does look after it and has a fair idea of how to swing it..... It's like many things .... you get what you pay for up to a certain level then after that it's mainly just paying for a name. My George jeans I'm wearing right now cover my fat ass just as well as a pair of Levis but they won't last as long (not that it matters much if I paint a car wearing them ... which I probably will ..)  My cheap jeans always seem to outlast my expensive ones! |

Aim for something like a 1.4mm nozzle on a HVLP or a 1.8 on a standard gun and you can't go too far wrong. I've been recommended to go for slightly smaller nozzles, I've currently go a 1.8 in my JGA and whilst it was fine for primer I found it a bit big for paint and lacquer, and I’m considering going for a 1.6 in the future.

The debate on suction and gravity will rage forever and it all depends how you work. I have both type and use them differently for different jobs. Gravity fed is easier to work with for most of the car but there are angles you just dare not put them at as none are truely leak free and the paint still needs to flow downwards to some degree ...... hence why I use a suction gun for priming as you can swing it around with total abandon without fear of interupting the flow or dripping. I found my suction gun quite wasteful; when I sprayed the MG I had to do it as individual panels due to the size of my spray booth (gazebo) after each panel I was left with about 50ml of paint in the bottom of the gun, that I had to through away, now this doesn’t sound like a lot, but when you think about the number of panels on a car & times that by the numbers of coats of paint (primer, base & clear) it adds up to a lot of paint going into the slops bucket.

i think it is 8cfm, it is steves old one, here is the link. it has adjustable reg on it, and seems pretty cool, as a test i charged the tank then left my spray gun on constant to see how long it would take to drain, it took effing ages :)!!!! i searched for the JGA guns but they are all suction jobbies.
