Spray guns

Post by voitty » Mon Dec 05, 2011 3:26 pm

Hi Gents, can someone recommend which of my guns will do the best job on my guitar body, below are what i own. I will be spraying clear lacquer.
1. gravity feed star gun with a 0.8mm nozzle
2. syphon gun with a 1.5mm nozzle
3. syphon gun with a 2mm nozzle ( maybe to hardcore for a guitar )
I am thinking that 1. is my favourite gun but not sure if 0.8mm is to small.
thanks heaps

Without actually trying them out, the Siphon with a 1.5mm tip is specced the best for lacquer. The gravity with a 2.0 is way too big. Do a test run on something like cardboard to see what the spray pattern is like, and if you can control it.
