"Pressurized" gun recommendation for shooting epoxy

[ksungela]

I want to apply epoxy over bare fiberglass on my '59 vette. I used an LPH400 on my last project but want to minimize all the overspray (mess). Can anyone recommend some type of spray equipment (maybe a gun, maybe not) to apply the epoxy? I'm thinking something like this, but with more spraying capacity. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Preval-9-oz-Complete-Spray-Gun-267/202533738

I haven't found a better gun to spray SPI epoxy with than the LPH400. If its just small areas my LPH80 with a 1.2 tip does an excellent job with very little if any overspray.

Lph400 is exactly what you want. You do not want to spray the epoxy with a big tip primer gun. The gun you use for basecoat is ideal.

JimC, can you explain why a big tip primer gun is not good for epoxy? To minimize overspray? I thought you needed a big tip for the epoxy as its fairly thick. Thanks

Epoxy is not really all that thick as far as primers go. It sprays through a 1.4 just fine.
