Hey guys, i really dont want to ruin a HVLP gun, even a cheap one from harber… to convert it to a gel coat gun. aka 2.0mm tip. but, is there a nice inexpensive site that has a gel coat cup gun? i saw one once for 116.00 but cant find it. =, or… since i just want to see how one works, does anyone have a used one?
What you’re looking for is the ES Mfg. G-100 cup gun. Here’s a link I have for a site that sells it: http://www.fiberglasssupply.com/Product_Catalog/Gel_Coats/gel_coats.html
Having the proper equipment makes a huge difference. Spraying primer and gel coat with this thing is a piece of cake. Not so with a normal HVLP spray gun.
Honestly, it’s a little over priced for what it is. Fairly simply construction. However, I highly recommend getting one. Cleanup is a breeze, and is very easy to use. I get the paper quart size cups at Smart & Final for pretty cheap.
