Hey,
So i should get a spray gun for the base coats ect, and then an airbrush for all the small weathering ect. or do you think that just a spray gun will be enough??? Also, what other good brand that are out there for spray guns?? And if im looking for one, what are the things that the gun must have?? Should i get HVLP or non-HVLP??? The one you have recommended me has a 5.3 oz. feed cup. That would be more than enough for base coats, yeh???
Also, do spray guns come in single and double action?? If so, single action will be enough, yeh??
Cheers,
Daniel
You could consider both or cut stencils. And this depends on the amount and type of details you plan. I'd say get both, but I do a lot of painting on other things too.
The detail gun must have/should have an adjustable pattern, an adjustable paint mixture amount, an adjustment for the amount of air pressure, and an adjustment for the trigger. These are generally standard.
Your coverage is going to depend on several things. Color is just one factor. Red is the hardest color you'll ever paint.
A convention mini detail gun will operate between 20-50 PSI, an airbrush between 20-35 psi, the HVLP is rated between 3-10 psi. There are arguments for both sides, but typically you want a fine atomization of the paint, and it is a general thought the higher pressure blows a finer mist.
Some manufacturers advertise dual action detail/touch-up guns. In most cases, the trigger pull will regulate the amount of paint released. It's basically point and shoot.
