What's a good paint gun?

[Silver R/T]

apparently this guy on another forum says that with 3/8 you run into "friction losses"
We use 3/8 at work just fine and I haven't had any problems personally.

the guys telling you 3/5 probley are talking about hard lines as in from the copressor allong the ceiling to a drop then a coupler and hook the hose to it..................3/8 is good for the hose thou dond hook both of youre 50 ft hoses together and the cfm and pressure will drop per foot

I guess I'm old school... I still have my 2 Bink's #7's and 1 Bink's #32.  I have always used the #7's for primer and color and the # 32 was for clear coat only. Neither one is gravity feed. I use 3/8" air lines and have a double filter. One dual off the compressor and a small single on the gun. It's a bit more awkward but it's better than having a gob of water shoot out in your clear coat. can't control mother nature though.... I did mine without a booth.

I agree that a "good painter" can use any gun but I don't think I'm a good painter anymore... It's one of those things where if you don't do it all the time you lose some of the "touch" and you have to work a little harder.

10mm line is just right..3/4..? ok for jackhammers i suppose, i wud,nt like to drag that around everyday! i have 1 water trap at my compresser which i drain, before i spray anything and i get no problems, sometimes got to drain the regulater i have no inline filter, wu dn,t hurt to have one though,by the way..master..once a painter always a painter dont put yourself down, we all take a break from time to time...jim
