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.

 

yup, and as far as filters go if you want to call me i can tell you a couple of secrets to keep that water out of you lines besides the water filters,
it is hard to discribe it when typing.

hope i can help.

 

damn thanks guys ya i just wanted a cheap set up to start on and play around on basically so the walmart thing sounds pretty good haha

 

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.
