Hello !!
Since each time i have a question, you guys have always been the best of the best for the advices, i'm here again to ask you some questions
I'm doing a paint job for a friend of mine, on his 18 inches wheels, the tyres are still on the wheels
I wonder if i better use my small Hvlp gun ( 0.8mm nozzle ) or if i better use my normal spray gun ( Hvlp 1.3mm nozzle )
Both of them are cheap spray gun, but it works great for a beginner like me !
Since there are hard to reach areas on the wheels , i thought that maybe the mini gun was the best for the work, but can i paint the whole wheels with the small gun, or only some areas ?
this is the model of wheels ( internet picture, not mine )
Thanks you a lot for your help
regards from France

I like a regular gun because I don't get through the third one out of four wheels and have to reload....just me.
Never argue with an idiot, he will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

I have been painting for many years, and have never seen the need for a mini gun.................

For theses wheels, a regular gun with the regular cup is a little too big to reach some areas without touching something else with the gun or with the cup , since there are still the tyres ( stretch tyres ) on the wheels, but deflated, it's not easy to paint between the tyre and the top of the wheels ..
But i don't have a lot of experience, that's why i am asking, i thought it would be easier with the mini gun |
,,If you feel that you have to use the smaller gun,,,go ahead. It will work.

Okay thanks, I am just a beginner that's why i am asking
Because i can't control the gun like a pro you know, i still look like a retard when i'm using it actually So maybe i will just paint some difficults areas with the small gun, and the rest with the regular one |
It makes it a lot easier when you dont have all of that crap hanging off of your gun (Like a regulator and a filter)
