Default Spray gun Help!

Up until recently I have been using a Revel gun:

However it's not very good. The container has to be filled for it to work so I end up wasting a lot of paint. And the nozzle is too big.

So I bought one of these:

which is gravity-fed.

However my hose from the Revel kit does not fit it. I assumed it was a standard thing. Can someone point me to the correct hose to use? Plus it needs to work with the Revel 'power' air cans I have been using as I don't have a compressor.

TIA!

Hi

Unfortunatley thera are different types of fitting for the air hoses, it should tell you in the destuctions what air fitting it uses, just out of interest, you say tou use the power cans, i found the air that came out wasn't constant and also I kept have consensation spraying out, I eventually bought a small compresser for $30 (it works out so much cheaper) have a look at this one on evilbay, its almost the same as I have and I haven't had an ounce of problem with it ....

I would suggest an PAASCHE VL set. It will have everything you need. You can usually get that set for 50.00 too 70..00 dollars. I know that is more than alot of people want to spend but youll only have to buy it once. They can use the aerosol cans or a compressor, which i also recommend getting so you can regulate the air pressure. you'll want to do that for certain paints and detail work.

Any decent Hobby or Art store will have hoses in stock. Take you gun in and match it up...That's what I did
