Peter X Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 I know nothing about the merits of paint sprayers, but suggest you clarify the currency. This is a UK based forum but you mention 500$; did you mean pounds, or if dollars, did you mean US$ or one of the many other types of dollars?

TheBiscuits Posted March 3, 2018 Report Share Posted March 3, 2018 ... not to mention that most canal boats are brush painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Bob Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 Airless spray is the best for 2 pack so good for painting a boat.....but general outdoor jobs! Have you ever tried to clean an airless spray system up before putting it away? It is not for small jobs. Hire or borrow one to paint the boat, or get a professional in to do it.

koukouvagia Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 I found a sprayer very useful for applying coats of red oxide (or whatever it's called these days) before fitting out. I'd never use one for outside; I much prefer the hand-painted look. Can't remember the make. I think I bought it from Machine Mart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stagedamager Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 Looks like an Earlex HVLP system Koukouvagia. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chop! Posted March 4, 2018 Report Share Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) I've used an Apollo HVLP (high volume low pressure) warm air spray kit, got excellent results. Very little overspray, quick drying. But not cheap these days. Edited March 4, 2018 by Chop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm bored again..... Could it be that the OP by Johnhoward was a bit short on detail and also use $ as a unit of cash......and then didnt come back to answer any of the comments, which btw did contain some useful comments....but the re-appeared 11 days later with a link (and only a link) to a site selling airless spray equipment, again with no comments? Johnhowards lack of discussion on the points raised would tend to point he is not interested in getting an answer to his OP. Maybe the 'guest' was one of his competitors?

The discussion is good - but when a new member posts a single loaded question with no sincere detail, then sits back for 11 days while a discussion ensues, and then posts a single link to an advert - that is SPAM!

I suppose you could call it that if that was what he'd done, which it isn't. Obviously you haven't read the link: it is to a comparison site (rather like Whichj? over here) on which various brands are discussed and assessed.

Do try to keep up - it is a brand new and incomplete comparison site, probably a prototype. The OP owns the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its an american site ( talks about gallons, pints, feet etc) and the orginal poster mentioned $? He DIDNT enter into any discussion. Very suspicious. I was thinking the OP was employed by the top sprayer mentioned ...but WJM's angle is probably more likely. If it was a 'real' thread then Mr Howard would have commented on one or more of the posts....even to say thankyou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
