While we have a gathering of minds....whats best

gravity feed pot of suction feed pot

Ive had both, and found i can make a much better job with the gravity feed

They both have their uses but a gravity feed is more universal we find, but a suction feed in better for large areas 6 of 1 half a dozen ovt tuther

 

[John 1594]

Sealey gravity feed gold edition is what im pretty much settled down to using, 1.4mm nozzle. Takes patience when you only have a 50lt compressor, but its survived many a day singing its guts out and not stopping for hours on end

Spraying the 1594 chassis gave it a test, when i kicked in that was it, poor thing didnt stop running for 3 hours

3 hours? I used to re-shell damaged cars, could give it 3 coats of cellulose in less time, actually spaying it took no more than 10 mins the rest was waiting time. This was with a £30 gun that would need 2 pots full per coat.

As you gents know I'm a very amateur at painting, what I do know is my aldi gravity fed gun seems fine to me and is much easier than them rattle tins

Is sparex paint any good? I have been told it's too thin ? It seemed fine to me but I'm sure the agco was easier to use

I think with the rattle tins, your always waiting for it to run out, if they were see through it might be easier
