Im lookin for a reccomendation for a spray gun to shoot on Chassis Saver! Yes i have the reduce 8 & an air compressor for the job so i just need a fairly priced gun.
Thanks!

Hf has them cheep I use them any time I do a one time job like bedliner ~$16 Sales depending

Im assuming Hf is short for Harbor Freight??

U also said "using it once" as in its done after just one use??

I have both of the HF guns and they work great, especially considering you can pick up a syphon feed and a gravity feed gun for under $40. The HF bag filters for them are garbage though.

They're definitely good for more than one use as well. Just wash the can out as best as you can when you're done then fill it with paint thinner and spray it through when you're done. Then take the can off, tilt the gun upside down and spray it til it's spraying air. Take the time to clean it right when it's done and you'll get more than one use out of it.

Pick up a decent regulator from Lowes though.

Ok so after checking out the site & doing some more research, buying a spray gun is definately worth the $30-$40 buck investment.

Now my only question is; "do i shoot Chassis Saver straight out of the can, or do i thin it out with the S8 reducer & how do i go about measuring how much to use??"

Follow whatever instructions came with the CS. You havent told us what youre spraying with it so we cant tell you how much you need.

Sorry i ment "how much to use" asking what the ratio would be on how much S8 reducer to add in. Not sure how much the average spray gun can hold, (maybe a pint?), but id say use that as a refference.

Also sorry that some questions i ask seem easy to answer & are probably listed on the can itself, but the can is 45 min away at my moms house where the jeep is & sometimes i gotta do my research here, go buy what im lookin for, then go there to do the work on the jeep.

Most siphon feed guns hold about a quart. Paint thinning is not a universal formula. Different paints require more or less thinner depending on viscosity. According to their website:

To get the cheap HVLP HF guns to spray nice the paint should be close to the consistancy of milk. This will cover and not clog the gun. About 3 parts paint to one part reducer.

Ok so i went to Harbor Freight today & found most guns to be affordable, but im now confused as to if i need a heavy duty gun to shoot Chassis Saver, or an industrial, & if a gravity fed or syfen fed gun is best.

Biggest part now is that Chassis Saver reccomends a spray tip size
from .013 to .017, & HVLP cup pressure between 6 to 8 psi; & the guns have 1.7mm spray nozzles & run on 50 to 80 psi & the guy at Harbor Freight was clueless as to me asking for different spray tips & where to get them.

So can i get some feedback from u guys on "whats next" & where to get this stuff?? In the meantime ill hit up lowes & see if i do better there.
Thanks!!
