ddl Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) yeah it's me again with my millions of questions lol im looking to pay less than 70 usd to spray my primer what brand could you suggest me,there is so many model to choose ? is that possible to use these mini gun with a regular airbrush hose? there was a tester at a local shop it was a dewalt 1mm and i was impress by the mechanism ,it was smooth but it mean nothing ,it could spray really bad .i guess a small (1mm) nozzle is the best for lures around 10 inch?

ravenlures Posted May 2, 2018 Report Share Posted May 2, 2018 What are you spraying wood or plastic and how many at a time if a few use a rattle can. Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gliders Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Ddl, I take it you are making muskie size lures ? The rattle cans are great if you don't intend making too many. If your making a fair few regularly then the spray gun is the way to go, you will need a different hose and fitting from your airbrush hose. I'm sure as big blue says, you'll get a suitable set up from harbour freight. We don't have harbour freight over here but I can have a look to find one similar to mine, this is basically a generic cheap gun, 1.4mm nozzle . Zinsser bin slightly thinned is still VERY thick compared with anything you could put through an airbrush. .. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddl Posted May 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 yeah it's for musky lure.do you think a airbrush compressor with 45 psi max is enough ?i have been told it will not be ok ,but many hvlp gun have a maximum of 35 psi. maybe there is other parameter that can have a roll that i didn't know ?

ddl Posted May 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 ive got a really bad news.it look like my compressor will not be okay. my cfm are too low for a spray gun here is the specs . i think i'll have to forget about the good idea of a spray gun.i invest more than 1000$ of things related to lure making .that' enough .i'll use all my bottles of autoborn sealer with my eclipse .5mm then i'll brush and sand my 2 cans of bin Horsepower: 1/5HP Displacement: .81cfm (23 L/min) Max. Pressure: 57psi (4 bar) AMP (110V): 1.0A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gliders Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 (edited) Yes ddl, that sounds too small. As huesey suggested - you could try dipping them, I've also done this but prefer spraying. I got the best results by dipping and hanging them the way they come out, my results with dipping and putting on turner were not good, I think because of consistency (viscosity ) combined with quick drying time. Definitely worth considering dip and hang though...glider Edited May 3, 2018 by gliders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddl Posted May 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 dipping for small lure sound good but for big one im not so sure and it always finish with a bottle with not enough paint to fully covered the lure. maybe it could work ok with the right container ? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddl Posted May 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 at 1.20 CFM @ 90 PSI is not even 1/4 of what we need for a good atomization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Moreau Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 I have been using the small 1.0 tip HVLP from harbor Freight (on sale $10) for maybe 10 years to spray my clear. I stopped making baits for a few years but when i was able to smuggle in some decent clear I fired it back up and still purrrrs like a kitten! I have a smaller compressor 30 gallon tank probably 3hp motor and it does ok, but I think you are too small. check out the old style guns they do not require near as much volume they use pressure to atomize paint. thus if you can get enough pressure you can atomize the paint. ....HVLP = High Volume Low Pressure benefits in much better spray pattern and control basically but that doesnt matter for priming baits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Talon has a fan head option but I would put it on a siphon fed brush with a .66 needle/nozzle so you can mount the whole bottle a spray to your hearts content. I have one and it works just fine don't quite remember the specs but I think fan pattern is over 3 inches Edited just now by gone2long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
