I am not a paint or body expert, which is why I am asking this question. I found a paint gun at a garage sale for a couple bucks and bought it. It is electric powered. It appears to have a small disk inside it that spins really fast and when you squeeze the trigger, a little door on the front opens exposing the disk, so it can fling paint out the front of the gun with centrifugul force. Has anybody ever used one like this? Are they good for anything other than a conversation piece? I haven't had time to play with it yet.
Thanks

It will put waaaaay more paint than you will want on the truck. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2000 Posts: 804 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2000 Posts: 804 | Let me put it this way. Electric motors produce heat and sparks. Automotive paint is FLAMABLE  The two should not meet. If you want a cheap gun, go down to your Harbor Freight store and get a SATA copy for about $40.00. They can't be beat for the price.
