What size tip would you guys recomend for spraying primer?I use marhyde primer most of the time and I currently use a sharpe fx3000 hvlp gun.I plan on upgradeing to a better gun later on what would do most of you use?
Hi there the most common size fluid tips are 1.5mm to 1.8mm and larger for spritz and other primers. Primer gun dosnt have to be flash as they get abused. Devilbiss has a nice primer gun though..
I had a Devlibiss SGK 1.8 and although it sprayed nice, it didn’t like abuse.
For quite a while I was using a Devilbiss PRi 1.8. Also sprayed nicely.
I have recently purchased an Iwata/Air Gunsa AZ3 HTE2 1.8. While it’s a nice gun and well built, I don’t like the way it sprays. Even though I’ve followed the correct material mix and am using the recommended gun pressure, it sprays too peely for me. And it doesn’t seem to matter what I do to adjust the gun settings to try and dial it out. I never had the problem with the Devilbiss PRi or SGK.
Likely that I am going to sell it and get a Sata, a PRi or a GTi Pro primer gun.
I have always used sata for my primer guns. I currently have the 100b in a 1.9 which is a really awesome gun. At one time i was using a 1.7 and felt it was too small and slow for thicker primers.1.9 is a perfect size.
got 3 primer guns with tips from 1.5-2.5mm
like 1.8 urethanes
2.2-2.5 polyestersiwata lph440, with a 1.7 tip. I use u-pol primer which is very high solids,high build primer and this gun works great.
I see that you use Marhyde primer. How do you like it? I have seen it but have never used it. However, I know of a place that buy it.
marhyde buff sands great.
yellow top coat will cover this primer in 2 coats easy.
