    Hi,

    from quite some time i wanted to share my findings and save fellow DIYers some cash , speaking of Spray Paint Guns.

    I have had various Devilbiss, Sagola, 3M and some chinese. from 500 to 10e .

    So i will tell you straight:

    You need only 2 cheap guns to cover your basic needs in a small workshop or if you are building CNC and here they are:




    1. F75 spray gun 1.5mm nozzle
    . Ridiculous 10 euro gun . Ebay number 142241555112

    This is my new gun from before a month as i hacked up my 400$$ 3M gun and did not want to spend 60euro on a nozzle. This is the best bang for a buck ever

    This spray gun sprays epoxy , polyurethane, water based acrylic, wood lacquer, wood tint. Thick or thin. Its up for a job like spraying a whole machine or even a car or a van. Though its not a big gun with a large deposit. I dont know what the chinese did and who copied, but this thing is a beast.

    2. 0.5mm K3 spray gun
    , again 10 euros. Ebay number 311236578956

    This is the retouch gun. i have used it a couple of years. this is the paint gun for small objects, details, letters, signage, etc. Where you do not want to spend too much paint

    As you may note you can use these guns from ANY position spraying up or down vertically. These babies put to shame any other chinese copy for the money and quality, not to speak of that many producers should be ashamed that 10euro gun sprays better than their brand ones.


    As i am a very practical person, my advice is to buy 2 of each if you are in some fabrication.


    And if you are in a serious fabrication or automotive business the choice will be the 3M 16580 Accuspray Spray Gun System with Standard PPS . I have the previous ACCUSPRAY gun and it was the best gun ever. but i refuse to pay 40$ for a nozzle. Sp this new Accuspray gun has plastic nozzles that you use a couple of times and when they clog, just throw them. isnt that great. Nozzles are cheap.

    So as a conclusion if you are to have only One Do All Spray gun, then the F75 1.5mm nozzle is the gun for you
    . And drink a beer with the money saved.

    Hope thats helpfull

    2023 update.
    Still have the guns and even painted a car with the bigger one. So i still recommend them.

    But now I would say they are really good only for small projects. It was pain in the a%% to paint big projects and especially thick polyurethanes that i had to dilute. Same with the epoxy base which has probably become DIYers best universal base as it sticks to anything, wood , plastics, bumpers, cars, etc. and is antirust.


    I wanted the gun combo to be cheapest possible and best quality possible so here it is:

    1.3 and 1.7mm combo kit PPS for 58 euros 2 days shipping straight in Europe from Germany.

    PPS means the Gravity vessel has another one with filter inside, so for aprox 1 euro at every painting you dont need to clean anything but the gun, and the paint is filtered and can stay some time in the gun if one does second coat in 15 min or sth. Sold separately the consumables in 165, 400 ,600, 810ml
