Pressure feed guns
Whitty - July 8th, 2006 at 05:26 AM

Team,

I have been given a brand new DeVilbiss JGA-558 pressure feed spray gun. Is it possible to convert these to a suction feed gun so I can screw a pot onto the bottom and paint to my hearts content ?? Are these guns any good ?? Thanks

Best to contact a DeVilbiss seller to answer those questions. You definitley want to paint a car with gravity or suction, not pressure. Pressure painting is for houses.

Swapped this gun at Earls for $70 changeover on a Anest Iwata New-77 model - how bad has he ripped me off Steff?? Still good for the price, but just curious. No, dubs not ready, still cant find anyone with a wreck that they dont want thousands for - keep your eyes peeled for me!!

Iwata 77 is a good gun. Great all rounder from priming to final coat. Acrylic lacquer.
