I have a Binks #7 that was thrown away by the company I worked for, they left it full of paint and didn't think it worth cleaning. I btought it home, disassembled it and soaked it in epoxy thinner, cleaned it and replaced packings, gaskets,etc. and put a new metering rod in it. It has served me quite well as a hobby shop spray gun since1969, it was probably bought about 1960-64. At one time there were some clones made to look like this gun, and they worked very well, and the parts fit good also. I have used a Devilbis and also a Sears, and the Binks painted better for my likes, still planning on it wearing me out. Gene Davis

i have had the best luck with lphv(low pressure high volume) guns. they run at about 20 to 25 lbs of pressure, and have litle overspray compared to a pot gun. they have the pot on top and are gravity feed. i like um!

Those $35 guns sold at flea markets and supply stores aren't as bad as folks say, although you can get guns that are really bad. The type of spray gun furnished by Sears with their air compressors aren't of much use, best thrown away. The after-market guns, usually copies of Binks guns, work really well for typical auto painting. I used them for painting for many years. Some folks say they weren't any good but the shop where i worked used them all the time. And, Binks parts were interchangeable! It isn't the type of gun that gets people in trouble, it is the experience they have! I've painted autos with a good camel hair brush and it looked as good as sprayed finishes! In Pittsburgh, a baking company painted all of their trucks with brushes, no spraying, and they looked very good! Yours: Rusty Jones

70D,
I'll second what Jerry B said. I still use the Binks #7 guns. I have one for Primer and one for top coat. You can look on EBAY and find these pretty easily and worse case you put a kit in them. Either way you save a chunk of $$ over the price of a new #7.

You get what you pay for in paint equipment. I recommend Devilbis guns as that is what I learned on. Some Craftsman guns are made by Devilbis and perform about the same.

Some folks like Sharpe brand and I am sure cost has a lot to do with it. Binks doesn't make any junk either. Binks #7 is the most copied siphon fed paint gun made.

You really should count on buying 2 guns. A good one for the paint and top coats. A cheaper one for primer. Try to get gravity feed guns as these will allow you to use less air pressure and produce less over spray (wasted paint).

They will allow you to get the very last drop of paint/primer through the gun. Siphone fed guns have trouble with this. There is always a small amount left at the bottom of the cup.

There are some quality imports now and these deserve a look as well. ATP or ATI (?) makes what are supposed to be good guns, but I don't own any.

Let us know what you decide.

P.S. Don't forget that respirator, either.
