Looking into paint equipment

[jamesp65]

So I've been trying to look into getting some paint equipment together. I was wondering what's a good...well....starter kit more or less than won't totally exceed 200-300 dollars. I know it doesn't seem like much but, it's probably all I'm looking at for christmas haha.

For your budget you will get " 1 " tool. There are no kits available that Ive seen. Thats 1 paint gun or 1 da. I think paper machines are even around $100 or so. Try pawn shops--alot of folks lost jobs this year and deals are out there.

^+1 i just bought a devilbess (or however you spell it, it is not in front of me, but you know what i meen.) gun that retails for 400 at a pawn shop for 50 bucks, clean as a whistle.

You can buy your tools for less then 300

First you need to find an air compressor with atleast 10-12 gallons, the bigger the better.

Then you will need an air line filter harbour freight should have them. Its also good to have another tiny filter at the gun, and install a gauge with a shut off

For a spray gun I have used the walmart brand Cambell Nelson professional, suction and gravity fed. Gravity feds are better to buy. 40-60 bucks

Walmart also has DA's I think there 30-40 bucks.

I do not know your experience level, but if your asking for a price range. I am assuming your a beginner learning. So you do not need a Sata or a Devilbliss spray gun to paint. Just make sure before you spray to empty out the air tank compressor.

Here is a car I painted with a 40 dollar, conventional Husky Paint gun from Home Depot. Attached 2 in-line filters and painted right out of a Ingersoll 40 gal 5hp compressor. I do have expensive paint guns now and there much much better but if you know how to paint, you can make almost anything spray nicely.
