paint guns

ok you guys who have painted your own trucks, have any of you ever used the husky pro (siphone feed) or the husky hvlp gravity feed paint guns? I'm gonna paint my blazer and possible a friends blazer and was wondering how well these guns worked. thanks for the input.

Re: paint guns

I haven't painted anything in over 10 years, and haven't used any of the Husky guns, but I had always used a siphon feed gun. I imagine the Husky is a Devilbis JGA knockoff, and that was an excellent gun in it's time. What type of paint are you planning to shoot? The HVLP will put more material on the vehicle by design, but some people prefer the feel of a siphon feed gun. It's all personal preference.
