Good evening and Happy Holidays to you all.
I have a question about the spray gun Finex Fx 1000. I guess you can order it with the choice spray tip. I was wondering which tip or nozzle to order with the spray gun. I am a newbie to this type of finishing. I just haven't had good luck with a brush.lol  Also I have been reading the posts about Randolph paint. I am going to try it. Any input would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks

Yeppers, what randy said, especially if you want to spray urethane clear, or primer/filler
The bigger tip is a much better choice,
One thing of note with this gun, it is very picky about being clean. Its easy to do, just make sure you do it.
Other than that, its a great tool for the price

Randy and Mark, I bought my Finex 1000 1.0 tip gun from English Auto Paint in Dallas. I fully discussed the cleaning process and what I had heard concerning the thing being picky about cleanliness with the long time store manager who sold it to me, he let me have a small squeeze bottle with a  small  diameter hooked tube with a tiny outlet and told me to spray lacquer thinner with it  in the inlet on the gun where the paint cup attaches while squeezing the trigger and it would do a very good job of cleaning the thing out. He also told me to avoid taking it apart if I could. What is your opinion on this? I haven't used the gun yet and I always feel confident with your advice. Bob

Pretty much what Randy said,, I flush it with a generous amount of clean thinner,, then when I change colors, or am done, I will take the fluid tip, and air cap off, Using a small acid brush, I will clean up any obvious residue, AFter that, I will use compressed air and blow the passages on both tips dry. Sometimes residue will stay there and the air will blow it clean. ( uh, make suer you have a good hold on the parts, you do NOT want to have them go shooting across the room, ask me how I know)
I generally leave the needle in place, though depending, I do take it out sometimes, but I dont like to as you end up cleaning all the lube off the seals that way. REassemble the gun and store it.
Thats about what I do,,

What should you expect to pay for one of these spray guns?

Thanks,

James

James, you can find them on the 'Bay sometimes for around 80$, I think most auto supply walk in stores are getting around 100$ for them

Mark,
Thanks, I called a local shop and they quoted me around $200, thought that sounded high.
