$30 Campbell-Hausfeld Gravity Feed Spray Gun at Wal-Mart?

Tom Bowman · Jul 2, 2013

Would a $30 Campbell-Hausfeld Gravity Feed Spray Gun from Wal-Mart be adequate for painting a working tractor (Ferguson TO-20) with VanSickle paint/primer?

It would be my first (and hopefully last) time ever to spray paint a tractor, or anything else, for that matter.

The VanSickle paint is good enough for my purposes - the tractor is kept inside, so I"m not worried about fading, etc.

I was going to do a "20/20" brush/roller job, but after priming a few parts - both castings and sheet metal - I can see that spraying would be a LOT faster.

Another consideration - I don"t have a compressor, so I"d need to rent or borrow one.

Thanks.

I'd caution you about that Van Sickle spray paint, in the rattle cans. I did my Farmall, and the stuff went on perfect, smooth, was very pleased. BUT as time went on, just sitting int he barn, out of the sun, ALL the parts and pieces developed a white film. Very disappointed. I went to the Case CNH spray paint, doesn't go on as well, but holds up wonderful. Does not get a white film.
