View Full Version : Gravity Feed vs Siphon Feed? BigFish 06-16-2005, 04:12 PM Benefits, drawbacks......which one is best?

If so, Badger 360 has both, but I'm not sure how it would work with clear... I'm happy with mine (for painting). I prefer the gravity feed only because it's easier to clean when I change colors. :tooth: thefishingfreak 06-16-2005, 05:20 PM i got a little gravity feed you can have. gravity is WAY better. less paint, less cleanup, lower pressure. BigFish 06-16-2005, 05:32 PM Thanks Mike....check pm's! :kewl: Slipknot 06-16-2005, 05:41 PM I was gonna try gravity feed for my next gun. I bet it is better. afterhours 06-16-2005, 05:47 PM i use a hvlp gravity gun for priming- can't beat it. less waste, more material goes on object- less into the air. hvlp= high volume low pressure.

They'll work fine when you don't need the detail of an airbrush. Jigman BigFish 06-18-2005, 05:15 PM That was the idea Jiggie! FishingFreak was kind enough to give me a nice small size spary gun....thanks a bunch Freak! :kewl: PatrickD 06-24-2005, 09:02 AM I bought a small gravity hvlp gun from Grizzly for about $20.00. I use it to spray Kilz pimer/sealer. It works great and it works out a lot cheaper than the rattle cans. I can also set the gun to to spray a thinner coat without blowing the overspray all over and clogging up my filters. It takes more time and effort to clean it so I tend to prime in batches of a dozen plugs or more to make it worth the work. I keep a few rattle cans around for when I am just doing 1 or 2 plugs.
