Opinions needed!
by max03 on Fri May 25, 2012 6:01 pm
After three afternoons of hand brushing POR-15 on I've decided that spraying it would be more effective and convenient, what type of gun should I look into? Any pro's / con's to spraying verses brushing? I thought I would give it a try seeing as how I'll need a decent gun to lay some primer on the body in the next few weeks, thanks everyone.

For POR-15, I wouldn't use an expensive gun. I bought a Harbor Freight gravity feed gun for $14.99 and it's done just fine. POR-15 will trash just about any pot unless you scrub it spotless with thinner immediately after use. Let it dry and it WON'T come off. I'm going to get a "good" gun when I get ready for primer and a "great" gun when I get ready for paint. But until then, I'll buy cheap one's for the rust proofing and chassis painting. Spraying POR-15 definitely gives a smoother finish and goes a lot further than brushing.
