Title: Airless Spay Guns Post by: Martin on August 29, 2005, 12:17:13 AM I often see airless spray guns advertised. Are they any good? I'm not looking at full body spray - just the odd bits & pieces (e.g. spats, sunvisor etc.)
I don't really have the space or the need to go all out for a compressor and air tools. What are your experiences with them? What works, what doesn't? Suggestions on brand/price will be helpfull. Anybody's help will be appreciated. Martin Title: Re: Airless Spay Guns Post by: Shayne on August 29, 2005, 01:02:40 AM Hi Martin,
I would be surprised if anyone much recommends using an airless spray system for painting a car, but you can get a good finish on smaller articles (such as you suggest) with a bit of practice and patience. I have a Wagner W650, and I think Wagner is a pretty good brand. I've only used it for painting timber- palings, shed walls etc. Like all paint gear, you need to ensure it is cleaned properly when finished. Have a look at the Wagner website ftp://http://www.wagner-group.de/portal/color_spraying_paint_en_wag,851,365.html here for a few ideas. From memory, my gun cost about $200 at Home Hardware. Title: Re: Airless Spay Guns Post by: mcl1959 on August 29, 2005, 10:01:14 AM I also have a Wagner and paint heaps of things with it. I have painted the engine with engine enamel as well as all the hang ons in black and even the engine bay of a few cars.
Very cheap and easy painting but MUST be cleaned thoroughly after EVERY use. Ken Title: Re: Airless Spay Guns Post by: Martin on August 31, 2005, 08:36:01 PM Thanks, Shayne and Ken. Like Alice, I'll look into it ;)

I thought it would have been more like Rodney Rude than Alice... :P Title: Re: Airless Spay Guns Post by: fc4kiwi on September 01, 2005, 07:05:47 AM I have an Airless sprayer at work cost NZD $1600 much much easier and better to use than a dirty old spraygun, and it users less paint just set it and spray ;D
I paint Trucks and Buses no problem! Title: Re: Airless Spay Guns Post by: Martin on September 02, 2005, 11:47:51 AM 1600 is a bloody lot of woolly dollars. :D Possibly a bit of overkill for what I would need.
