    Hi All,

    I finally got my gun today, and have been having a bit of a play spraying primer and clear coat etc. Just wondering if you guys hav any tips for setting up a gun?

    The gun i am using is a Star S-106 You can find some info [url=http://www.airless.com.au/Star%20S-106%20Gravity%20Feed%20Spray%20Guns.htm]HERE[/url]

    Just thinking about Paint control, Fan size and air pressure really. The project I am undertaking is basically spot repairing my wifes Lancer, but I am clearing whole panels starting with the Bonnet. I did it with Aerosol before but… it was crap so i got rid of it and im starting again.

    Cheers

    The only thing that really comes to mind is check the spray pattern before you begin. Test and make sure its nice and even on a piece of scrap. Usually to set your gun material knob you unscrew it all the way, hold the trigger back and screw it in until you feel pressure on the trigger. Play with the fan until your patterns right.

    The gun body looks a lot like Astro EVO4014.
