What's wrong painting with a siphon feed gun? I recently picked up another DeVilbiss JGA spray gun from my local Craigslist. It's brand spankin' new, and I got it for next to nothing.
.......who still uses these great old pieces of spray technology?
I've painted cars with siphon feed guns for over 30 years -- yes, they are not as effcient as HVLP, but they work well. I do have two very nice Astro HVLP guns, but still prefer the siphon feed for certain finishes (especially for lacquer based primer-surfacer, and single stage coatings).
Here is my new JGA -- one of the best guns ever built
These are my primer guns (1970's Buffalo and a 1980's HF) both work well -- no HVLP required.
This is my 1976 Sharpe model 75 -- one of the best guns ever made. That Sharpe 75 and my old JGA have painted well over 25 cars -- and I wouldn't trade them for anything
I painted my old '95 Rodeo with the DV-JGA and SH-75 siphon feed guns. Here it is after a single stage respray 15 years ago -- painted in my garage with Dupont acrylic enamel.
