Help me on my way with setup.
Posted: Sun Aug 05, 2012 11:48 am
So I have some painting to do, but Im not done with my setup for now, hopefully someone could chime in and help me on my way.
The only thing I have sorted out for now is the copressor, it's an Atlas Copco 3phase 230v unit wich pumps out 33cfm @90psi
And I have a devilbiss finishline 3 gun that Im going to use for primer, So far the only painting I have been doing is some furnitures for my girlfriend with a cheapo 40$ gun, didn't want to mess with oil based paint in my devilbiss unit. It worked out great som Im looking forward to getting into some auto painting, But I need another 2 guns to set me up good. Im looking at sata jet since A friend of mine is a painter and to start me off he will drop off some glasurit primer and paint this week along with a satajet 3000 gun he has in spare, his shop has alot of guns so he didn't need all of his guns so he gave one to me (I guess for all the aluminum tig welding I have done for him in the past)
But there are a few things Im unsure about.......
Im looking for a third gun to be a clearcoat gun and I see sata 4000 comes in both RP version and HVLP, so wich one should I get.
The 3000 he is giving me I have no Idea what is jet, only that its a 3000.
I already have steel piping in the garage for air tools, but was thinking of running a 3\4" copper pipe directly from the air compressor and to a Filter of some sort and use that only for painting. What filter should I get? , Im planning on buying a compressed air dryer system at one point, but still have not found one used, so that will come later, also later to come is a big "garage" im building next to the one I have, and there I will have a proper paint booth, bought used ofcourse, but thats all later to come, for now I just need to rig up something in the garage I have to maybe spray som chassi parts and maybe a fender or something other various small parts. I have seen alot of setups on copper piping for painting so I probably will be making something along the routes that I have seen with ups and downs and water traps, but im still not sure on what filter to get. I hear some say the devilbiss Qc3 is only good for one paint job and then you need to replace the filters, that sounds like a headache, I know there are big differences in humidity from one place to another so alot of factors play in, but I really dont want a filter I have to change all the time. And I know when I install an Air dryer system it will improve alot. but still want a good filter.
alot of writing and few questions, I know. But don't know how to put everything in words.
I guess the first question is wether I should go with 4000rp or HVLP, and next what desiccant filter to get that will work for me later down the road in a paint booth, I hate buying stuff 2 times, I always buy the best quality I can afford and would rather save up for something good than buy cheap and throw away.
Budget is somewhat High but not a millionaire.
