I dont think so, moxt new guns are stainless steel coated, so it will wash out. Any place that paints heavy equipment should do it for you.

Those should work nicerly. Dad has a Devillbiss siphon feed with the newer style stainless steel tips, works grest. Best money spent.

I liked this adjustable gun. Adjusts like a water hose sprayer.
Plus all kinds of neat videos on youtube on undercoating.

Well, so much for blasting it myself. After About 3 minutes in I got a leak where the air and media mix at the bottom of the tank. I guess this model has a time limit until it becomes junk.

Look at where it's made.. ONE guess.. Probably like my 33 gallon upright air compressor I got from Tractor Supply about 3 years ago. Works ok,but let it sit overnight and the tank leaks down though the gauges.. Just too cheap to get the US made Ingersol Rand that was 3 times the price sitting right next to it.. I guess that's what keep the Chinese in business..

That's why I would go without before buying Chinese tools. When our last Compressor died, bought a USA made. Dewalt from a construction supply place locally. No China stuff.

Yup it was harbor freight.. Now I have to find things to blast to justify buying another or better setup. The compressor is only a 30 gallon 2hp upright and that's barely enough.
