I did some searching on this topic and didn't really find anything. I'm curious what you all think of electric spray guns? Anyone use them with positive results? I realize air is the preferred way but I don't have the resources right right now to get myself a large 220V air compressor. I took a chance on this Wagner Motocoat sprayer to lay down some SPI epoxy on some floor panels.
It works pretty well I think (coming from an absolute beginner). Not having gravity feed is a minus and the longevity of the parts is questionable. It's all plastic and I don't think there is a way to change tip size. Not even sure what the detail gun's tip size is. However, it does spray a nice, even pattern. It allows for basic adjustments like pattern size/shape, material flow and a really basic air pressure control via a selector (0, 1 or 2).
I figure for just spraying primer, its a pretty decent tool. Am I missing any serious flaws with this? I started with the floors but I think I may use this to spray primer on the body of the car if it holds up ok (and you guys don't poke some big holes in my thinking here ). I'm building a driver not a show car.
Looking around the internet, I see there is this electric system from Eastwood that looks like a step up from what I've got. Maybe suitable for shooting the whole car without an air compressor?
What's the biggest drawback to an electric system? Lack of control on air pressure?
I'm pretty new to paint. I'm wading in carefully looking to learn from this community.
Thanks,
