<P>I have been using a Harbor Freight HVLP touch-up gun for painting my models with PPG Concept paints. They work great. The one I use comes with a pressure regulator. I have an in line moisture eliminator (desicant type) that I also bought from Harbor Freight. So far after painting some ten planes, the gun works fine. I do break down the gun after each painting session and clean the needle, spray nozzle and interior of the gun area where the paint enters from the cup.</P>
<P>One word of caution. Eventhough the spray gun is HLVP, the overspary gets on everything. I paint outside under my breezeway. It is a good idea to wear at least a air mask. I use the cartridge type. Also don't let your cars be down wind of the spray fumes. One of my cars was parked some 50 foot away and still managed to get some overspray on it.</P>

I have a $25.00 import automotive touch-up gun and a high buck ($150-$200)<BR>
Binks touch up gun I use to spray airplanes. I can't tell the difference in<BR>
them. Buy one from Harbor Freight or similar outfits and use at 35-50 psi<BR>
(depending on material) with your compressor. I think the touch up guns are<BR>
easier to use than an airbrush you can get through a lot quicker.<BR>

I have a compressor. I do not have a spray gun yet. From my understanding<BR>
there are 2 types of guns "Standard and HPLV". Which is "better or easier"<BR>
to use?<BR>

The secret is in the paint. Concept is so good you can do a great job even<BR>
with a cheap external mix airbrush like the the one Harbor freight puts on<BR>
sale for less than $5. If you use one of those make sure you regulate the<BR>
air pressure to 20 pounds or less. Practice on old milk jugs and plastic<BR>
containers. The down side is that you will have to hurry with the airbrush<BR>
but the small paint container will help you keep the weight down. The paint<BR>
will weigh the same in the can as it does on the airplane.<BR>
Don't get the idea you can sand Concept off and do it again. Sanding Concept<BR>
is something to avoid!<BR>

<FONT color=red>> All,</FONT><BR>
<FONT color=red>> Are there any good sources for painting a plane. I have done a very small</FONT><BR>
<FONT color=red>> bit of painting with a gun. My only other experience painting is spraying</FONT><BR>
<BR>
<FONT color=red>> 5</FONT><BR>
<FONT color=red>> house exteriors. I will be using the Flying Colors (PPG Concept Urethane)</FONT><BR>
<FONT color=red>> from Radio South. I saw at Sears a small touch up gun. Would this type</FONT><BR>
<FONT color=red>> of</FONT><BR>
<FONT color=red>> gun work for this type of painting. Any help would be appreciated.</FONT><BR>
