Posted: Sat Mar 28, 2009 8:42 am Post subject: Paint Gun

Just walked in from the shop, from painting. I've been painting using 

System Three waterborne paints on my CH801.



Had tons of problems with a standard paint gun with bubbles in the paint.



I previously owned an Axis Citation HVLP spray system which I 

painted my Kitfox with. However I sold it. 



The waterborne paint is horrible with a regular paint gun, and I was 

feeling really sad that the Axis was gone. So I started searching for an

HVLP spray system. I saw a Wagner Power Spray Plus HVLP at Lowe's

for $99 I thought, well it's cheap so what the heck I'll buy it.



What a great deal! That thing after a bit of fiddling with paint thinning

shoots paint just as well as the Axis, but for only $99!  



Talk about Happy, I feel like I just discovered cold fusion. It's by no

means the best paint system in the world, but for the price it works

great. It also shoots paint with a lot less overspray than the Axis as 

well. Hardly any fog after painting.

Back up.  Maybe I missed something here.  What are you talking about? 

What is "System Three Waterborne Paints".  Is it latex?  I must have 

been sleeping, cause you got me all confused.  I've heard of some folks 

using latex on cloth planes, but not on aluminum.  I've thought of using 

it because I just painted my hanger door with exterior latex using an 

airless system, turned out great. It's really smooth and flowed out 

good.  Exterior latex house paint last for years and is very flexible. 

There is no reason I know of why it wouldn't work on an airplane.  Tell 

me more, please.  Thanks, Larry

I use their waterborne Epoxy Primer, and their waterborne

Polyurethane. It's used a lot for boats. You can buy it directly

from them or from Jamestown distributors. It's very tough paint.



it does NOT however spray as easily as conventional paint and

takes some practice. However, I really like it and the wife doesn't 

complain that I'm killing myself using it.

You can email me at n85ae(at)yahoo.com if you need help with

using it.
