Spray Gun setup
Im about to set up a spray gun I have not used. I did not know I had these options. (The one I use to use I just loaded adjusted the pressure and vol and cleaned it when I was done)
This one can be set up for pressure or siphon feed. And Internal or external mix. What would be best to shoot Acrylic Enamel? I was going to try Sipphon feed, External mix.

I'm not sure about the mix, but I definitely prefer the gravity feed. You can use all the paint, and it is very easy to clean the gun. You can throw some lacquer thinner in the top, swirl it around, blow it out and repeat a few times.

This is kind of a guess, so those who really know should chime in here, but -
I'm guessing you have a gun with the pot on the bottom. That pretty much rules out gravity feed. There is no gravity - the earth sucks. ![]() I "think" you want it on siphon feed. That's probably the way the gun was set up when you took it out of the box. Not sure about the mix. Do you have to make a change from the way the gun came to do either? If so, I wouldn't make the change. Cleaning - dump the paint in the pot into a can. Disconnect the air and hold the tube over the dump can and pull the trigger. Put lacquer thinner in the pot, put it back together and swish it around. Pull the trigger and let the thinner rune out a little. Do this until the thinner looks pretty clear. Put more thinner in, put it back together and connect the air. Spray into a rag. Take the nozzle off and soak it in some thinner. Wipe everything down. But if you get paint on your face, do NOT wipe it off with the rag that has the thinner on it. That hurts! |
