My siphon/comventional feed spray guns, Craftsman and Campbell Hausfeld, ar e old and parts are no longer available. I need a new one or new ones. I' ve looked at these reviews, but I'm confused:
I am familiar with siphon feed, since this is the only kind I've ever used. My guns are pretty simple. Is the gravity feed better, just as simple? Should I stick with siphon feed?
The reviews seem to consider paint, rather than clear coat finishes, when c omparing the two kinds of guns. I've never sprayed paint, besides, I have an industrial spray gun (needs new bushings) we used to spray paint on the barn.... I wouldn't use this for furniture or like projects, anyway.
I spray occasionally, maybe once every month, at the most. These days, pr obably less, but I'd like a good durable gun.... probably $150 max should b e a reasonable cost, I suppose. I don't want a cheap, short-life gun. I'v e had my old guns, probably, for 30 yrs. *I haven't priced any siphon fee ds, yet.
For my siphon feeds, I use 40 lbs air pressure. According to this discuss ion -
Am I asking the correct questions, to make a reasonable decision?
Any suggestions or explanations would be appreciated.... but I'd prefer sho rt and simple, LOL.
Thanks. Sonny
