painting up side down
Was just looking over things and thinking. I have a question.
How do I use a gravity spray gun to paint the inside cab roof. It would be upside down. I have an old cheap gravity feed, I could use just for the cab roof I suppose. Any thoughts, thanks. Mike |

Re: painting up side down
Using a system like this will allow you to spray in any position. This is the devilbiss system but there are others out there.

Actually, the gun isn't really up side down if you think about it.
It's actually at a 90 degree to the panel most of the time so when spraying the roof, it could even be at less than a 90 degree...like 60 degree which still will allow the paint to flow. To make my point, imagine painting a panel that is level with the floor, it's not really much different that painting the inside of the cab roof. |

Im using PPS cups, they work pretty good for upside down and sideways. I found myself spraying sideways more than I thought I would, with a cup system you just go and dont worry about it.

Re: painting up side down
PPS cups are the best thing invented for painters. I was skeptical at first. They're worth the investment. You can spray at any angle, they're easy to clean up, they're quick, you don't need mixing cups anymore, etc.

Only problem with using a suction gun is that PPS does not fit the gun. :mm:

Also, OP wants to use a gravity gun, so PPS or Devilbiss cups will work. I'd recommend that he get one of the starter kits off amazon and an adaptor for his gun just to see how he likes them. |
