So something like this? And Chris? do you have enough of a discount from Devilbiss to buy if for me and make some money for yourself?

That's the one Jim is talking about, yes.

I'd have to buy at least 25 of them to hit a price point that would just cover the cost of shipping & credit card processing fees on resale...so for right now it isn't worth it to stock them -- but thanks for asking I appreciate it :-)

I`m just trying to help people that help me, makes the world go around so to speak. Does anyone out there have any experience with these Devilbiss Plus guns?

I'm a noob.. I quite like the one I 'borrowed' (man that was awhile ago!).. Seems to lay everything down nice. Sprays quick though! I have everything set to wide open. Not sure if that is correct or not, but...

Do a search on them. A number of guys have posted positive feedback and even some pictures of projects painted with this gun.

Did some research, liked what I found, Len has them for sale at $329, its in the mail. I painted half of my old hood saturday with my old gun, hopefully I can shoot the other half Saturday and send some pics. Thanks for the help everyone.

I sprayed with the plus gun for two or three years. I have bought 4 or 5 guns from Len over the years. He is one of the most reachable and personable men you can talk to on the phone. Plus is a good gun for the price if you are not painting all day every day. Get the cupped 1 liter or dekups. The dekups work fine.


PS Buy a Finishline primer setup with 1.8 and 2.2 tips. You will have all you need for the average restorer/enthusiast. Can prob have it all including 3 tips with the plus under 500 bucks to the door. Hope this helped.

Yall have all been a big help and I appreciate it. Glad to hear Len has a good rep, I have one of his training videos if its the same guy, and he had the best price too. I`m gonna use all my old panels to learn to paint with now before i actually hit the car again. Its resting in epoxy now so it can sit for awhile while I learn how to spray right.

Len doesn't have a rep to my knowledge. It is him and his wife alone in the store.
Bruce owns Kirker and he, as well, is reachable. Best wishes 65.

I think Kirker is going to be some of my test products, their sour green apple color looks pretty sweet to me.
