Trying to deal with some of the queries raised
Single or double ??? A good double action should have a adjuster nut , wheel or screw that can be used to make the brush perform as a single action design the adjuster will push the trigger back to the desired point and all you will have to control would be the airflow!
The main drawback on some single actions is that they come with a jar receptacle rather than a paint cup. This gets in the way when you want to do fine freehand work.
as regards mediums i always use enamels not because they are better its because thats what i understand best they are what im happy using and i know the characteristics of flow dry time and coverage!
The most important thing is airflow or a compressor!!!! Please please please dont skimp on this a good silent type i.e fridge type of unit will give you many years of service and will pay for itself many times over The most important aspect of it is that unlike the diaphram kind you wont get the domestic authorities complaining about the racket! Seriously though a cheap compressor will be a mistake if it hasnt got a resevior for the air the supply will pulse!! resulting in uneven lines (almost a dot every couple of mills) A moisture trap is also essential as compressed air is hot and this holds moisture which will spatter on your paint finish causing you much annoyance and expletives. A good moisture trap will also incorporate a pressure regulator which helps no end in being able to spray a variety of consistencies and finishes. Propellent bottles are way too expensive !! You will be using 2 or three per model the costs soon adds up! you can also get a co2 tank but this to me brings other inconvieniences such as refilling etc Hope this helps a bit |
