Ashimoto.....
Thats exactly the same gun I used for my tank.!!!
It's what I was taught with, and wouldnt change it for the world!!
I use mine on approx 30-45;lbs pressure... The other thing I do is have a jar with a tin lid.. like say a "pataks" curry jar or a honey jar...anything that has a tin lid...
make a hole in the tin lid just a little bigger than the suction tube on the devillbiss, and mix your paint in the jar....slip the jar in your paint pot, feed the suction pipe from the devillbiss in and lock down the pot.
This saves loads of money in paint..Especially on two pack paints that cannot be saved once mixed..
And gives the added bonus that when you done, you just unlock your gun, stick the suction tube in a jar of thinners, blow through, wipe the tin lid, swill the jar out and your done.
HOWEVER... ( jeez I hate "howevers" but this one is important!)
I did the base colours of my tank with paint that had been bought before they changed the laws on one pack paints....................
Then used two packs on top.
I believe it is now illegal for places to sell 1k paints, and all base coats have to be water based......(YUK)
I also believe, that to spray water based base coats with our trusty old cherished and loved devillbisses
We may need to change the Nozzle............
Parts are easilly available for our devillbisses, including smaller and larger nozzle set ups.......
But, I dont seem to be able to get a definative answer as to exactly what nozzle size we need for these water based products....
I shall do more searches and let you know what I find out , as I will need to know anyways!!
Worse may yet be to come.....
There is a German outfit, that claim to have mastered "water based primers"
I hear you all screaming "what on BARE metal?" ( damn germans, why cant they let things be, instead of trying to organise and clean everything?)
If that is whats in the pipeline, then stock up on primer now!!!!
This is a subject thats close to my heart as you may have guessed..... Look at the colours of all the new cars.... they are so DULL, thats what water based has done.
Have you got your paint?
