[QUOTE="threejones, post: 504432, member: 27464"] I've been a professional painter for years, homes, cars, guns, bikes, helmets, you name it. The gravity vs syphon debate is on going. The heavy particles will settle, but you should strain all paint that goes into any sprayer. Also, if the paint does have any "heavy" particles, the best thing to do is to keep them in suspension (stirring or shaking or whatever) as those particles are usually there for a reason. Equipment wise, it's more a matter of the kind of paint you're using and job size. I have both, and use them regularly. I seem to use my syphon feed most, but I really don't have a good reason, it just seems to come up more often. My best advise, 1)don't get a cheap one. As with all guns, you will usually get exactly what you pay for. 2) Mind how and what you thin your paint with. Most kits come ready to go, but off-the-shelf paints usually need to be thinned to spray well. Oh yeah, almost forgot, experiment ALOT before you spray anything you really like(or payed a bunch of $$$ for) It'll save you having a bunch of messed up ugly crap like I do! Good luck! [/QUOTE]
