Hi All,
I am finding I need to paint the odd bits and bobs and am looking for a mini solution to this.
e.g. A current requirement is to paint some Weller steel wheels that have been shot blasted and zinc coated and because all I need is a simple and durable solution (I'm not too bothered about finish as such) I was considering using a Hammerite (not sure if the wheels are even up to smooth Hammerite). I understand I need to use their 'Special metals primer' and that only comes in tins (not aerosol). (I know the aerosols aren't cheap but if you consider the time / setup / cleaning etc of guns and other kit the cans can work out quicker and cheaper for some jobs).
So, I've got one of the little Bambi silent compressors (like this)
I did get one of those basic spray guns you get bundled with the basic compressors but I've never used it.
So, is there a small compressor driven cheap spray gun (from the likes of Machine Mart) that would actually be useable with these small compressors, even if only for short / small (and often fiddley) jobs please? A 10 spoke steel wheel is very complicated to spray because of it's shape and holes!
I do have an airbrush set but I feel it needs to be slightly bigger than that.
Also, what's the difference between top feed guns and the alternatives please?
All the best ..
