Slash 4x4 Asphault Oval Racer

I have a HF near my house. Do you know how many times I've held that very one in my hands thinking about buying it? But I pass everytime because I'm not sure how to use one, or if that one is good, etc. I have no doubt that I would be able to do a decent job using one. I just don't know HOW to use one. Gravity fed... so.. that means what? I hook it up to my air compressor, dial down the pressure, and spray?

That also makes me wonder... what about a Wagoner House Painting type spray gun? I have one, NIB that is nice, and I've never used. I think you can dial down the pressure. Would one of those work?

LOL, NO. The Wagner will not work. It's basically a firehose compared to what you really need. Yes, the little gun is that simple to use.

Gravity fed basically means the gun uses Gravity to get the material to the head to be atomized. The normal guns you see are pressure fed, the cup on top saves materials because the higher pressures aren't needed and wasted paint goes into the air.
