patrick reif Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 what are the benefits of the more expensive guns? Adjustable heat settings sounds like a good idea...is it worth the extra money though? Any accessories I need to consider? I may powder paint 200 jigs a year, probably less. However I see a spinnerbait mold in my future so I'd use it for painting those as well. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadman Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 Patrick, The more expensive heat guns have multi-heat settings. I have (4) Wagner Model HT-3500 Heat Guns one I have been using for 4 years still good as new and (3) spares. You never know when I can get the wife involved Wagner is not the only brand out there, there are others and I'm sure they work well. Others will comment shortly. The reason I like the multi-heat heat gun (just my personal opinion) is because I can adjust my heat when I apply 5 or 6 colors on a jig. It is almost impossible to do that if you do not turn the heat down. High heat will burn your other colors and well you'll have a mess. If you are going to only paint 1 or 2 colors on a jig a dual heat gun will work fine for you. Unless you want to experiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
