New hamerite static charged paint gun
This might interest people who are planning to paint their chassis. It’s a paint gun that applies a static charge to Hammerite paint. You earth the
chassis and the paint gets drawn round the tube, painting it on all sides in just a single stroke. They claim very little overspray.

How much does it cost??
Only pricing I could find was on a US site worked out at £40 for the gun and £15 for 750ml of paint

Looks quite good but could end up rather pricey for paint when doing a car as 35 quid gets me a 5ltr tin and apart from the odd drip, brushing wastes
no paint and gives a good finish. Definitely the way to go for painting fences though, by the way that Ronseal spray gun for fences as shown on the
telly turned out to be a right crock of sh%t as it has the worst nozzle design in history, don’t get one.

Might work okay with a metal fence but not sure how well it would work with a wooden fence?? I'm not sure wood takes a static charge very well.

i use an air brush for model making and i find i use far less paint with a better finish than i ever did with the brush
the system looks good and i may suggest it to one of out boys who wants to spray his old nova black might be a cheap way
just got to make sure that he moves mums mini and my car first or it may become very expensive for him

they had something like that on tomorrows world a few years back.
it was some clip on thing onto a marker pen that would work like an air brush; worked on same principle.

If you blow across the tip of a marker pen with an airline it works as an air brush, would be easy to make a holder and nozzle up.

If you paint your wooden fence with Hammerite, you shouldn't be on a Locost Forum, 'cos you is RICH!.
Oh, and daft.

Saw the hammerite gun at the Autosport show and it looked impressive in terms of results. I have the leaflet somewhere in the bag with everything else
I haven't got round to looking at yet! Trouble is, it comes back to the problem of hammerite being brittle in terms of knocks and chipping -
don't know if this will be any different.
