I have two cabinets that I am working on restoring (Nintendo-DonkeyKong, Tradewest-AlphaMission). I am curious as to if this is a decent gun to spray the cabs with? I have never used a spray paint gun in my life and I know this is HarborFreight brand (Some love HF some hate it..) I look there cause im broke and soon to be married (15 days and counting). So I come asking for a point in the right direction. Here is a link to the gun. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=93305 I have my fathers air compressor here and can use it all I want (unless I take some of the wedding money and throw it toward a compressor haha). Thanks for any input you can give me. I would be using this gun for primer and paint. Neil |

First, congrats on the wedding - mine's 8 days and counting (july 14th), second, that's a decent gun for your primer. If you want an all in one solution so to say, get something with a 1.3, 1.4 nozzle. That one is probably going to have a 2.0 ish nozzle, good for traditional primers. You can get primer that'll work with a 1.3, 1.4 gun, paint, and clearcoat as well. When I sprayed my car everything was out of a 1.4. |

As long as you can supply the volume - http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=91009 is a good gun, Or to mix it up, go with http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=94572 Are you using automotive paint, or are you using a rustoleum? |

I honestly dont have the paint yet I was just going to get whatever they had at lowes that matched the paint sample that I take in. I will get whatever paint is needed and the tank my father has I believe does like 500psi if that sounds right. so it shouldnt be a problem. Neil |
