Is this a good gun, or a waste of money

[electron123]

I have a 100 dollar sharp gun a friend bought me as a present, it is a conventional gun with a 1.8mm tip. I was wanting to buy a set of guns that devillbiss makes, It is called the startingline kit. It has 3 hvlp guns, One for clearing and base coats that has a 1.3mm and a 1.5mm tip and puts out 13cfm of paint. the second gun is a primer/sealer gun with a 1.8 tip. and the last gun is a mini touch up gun with a 1.0mm tip. The kit is 199.99. Is this kit good for me? I only paint maybe 3 cars a year. what is the difference between hvlp and conventional. I notice I get alot of overspray with my sharp gun, plus im painting outside that doesn't help. In advance thanks for any advice or any suggestions. :moon:

I have never used this kit but it sound like it would have everything you would need and seems to be cost effective for you. I would get it.

 

[hoss]

that's a great kit for a beginner. i've heard great things about those guns, i wish i'd a known about em 3 years ago when i started fresh.

go for it!

thanks for the advice guys. HVLP Guns usually have less overspray and save on paint, they can paint the same materials as conventional, but the one drawback is the speed at which you can paint something. Am I correct ON this one?

No. The term you're looking for here is "transfer efficiency" - guns today have a higher transfer efficiency. That means they put more paint on target and less in the air. There is nothing about an HVLP gun which would slow you down.

JohnPSW is right about hvlp guns. Always read your manuals. And check first with people who know about the items that you want to buy. That way you won't buy something that you are stuck with.
