Paint gun for Herculiner

daveg13 · 11-05-2006, 09:12 PM

I'm planning on spraying on Herculiner in my TJ. I've heard that an inexpensive paint gun from harbor freight will work. Any suggestions on what to look for with the gun, or a specific one to get? I only plan on using the gun once, so I don't need anything fancy.

I have seen guys shoot that stuff through and undercoating gun..its made for thick materials...but if you can get it to go though a conventional gun,it would slow down the process cuz you wont be able to acheive the mills "thickness" with out a rediculous amount of coats..

Conventional gun won't work. Need to use an undercoating gun and you'll have to toy around with the pressure. Last time I sprayed body schutes (undercoating) I think I was around 40 psi or less.

I bought an undercoating gun and bottle off of ebay for like $25 total shipped. I ran my compressor at 50 psi. It came out really nice.

So this will work fine?
