    Hi all.

    I need some advise on purchasing one of those guns but not sure what to buy.

    I have a 200l compressor and it has a regulator on it.
    All im doing is getting my wheels blasted and then id like to paint them,so somthing cheap im looking for.
    Also how much would all the paint cost?
    Thanks.

    Paint costs us £19 a quarter litre.
    You'll need laquer, about £17 a quarter litre
    Etch primer optional (I'd use it myself though)

    Any spraying done here is usually 2pack (not waterbased sh*te) and is done with a JGA DeVilbiss. That's a little expensive though and I'm not sure if you can get them still....

    If not doing much a little Sealey gun should do the trick and are peanuts to buy

    Research your viscosity first, flash off times etc before you spray. Make sure you have somewhere damp free to spray too or it will come out gack

    Damn that paint is expensive I pay €18 per 1/4 litre myself:P, as for the op yeah if your just looking for something cheap Sealey is probably the way to go also Lidl/Aldi do have guns sometimes fairly cheap, personally speaking tho I wouldn't be caught dead with any of those guns but just for a quick tidy up on wheels they should be fine.Or just pay someone with guns to do it for you prob wont workout much more expensive and more likely you'll be left with nicer looking wheels ;)
