What are the advantages of the prevale unit over a sprayer for a novice? I would like to try a little painting myself. Have a compressor and could maybe beg,buy or borow a sprayer. I suppose i NEED SOME TYPE OF INLINE FILTERS AND SUCH.

My brother bought one of these and he says it sprays as good if not better than his 250.00 dollar gun

Harbor Freight paint gun 1hp compressor and gun filters

Wow, ramtough, I'm impressed!! Good looking jobs!


I have NO clear on my bike. I hate I went that route.

WOW! Mad paint skills in here. :woohoo:
ram, you have some talent. Are you the airbrush artist and the painter also?
OMR, that is a fine paint scheme you came up with for the ol' Z. I've always like that one.

I might have to get me one of those, I have an air compressor but it wouldn't keep up, It does I think 4.5CFM. but it only takes about 4 minutes to fill up so I probably won't even notice it since it runs at 200 PSI and kicks on at 150 PSI.

I should go buy it and practice.

That's what I paint with. Not a bad gun at all. I haven't done any clears with it yet.

I have a compressor but used the Preval since I had no experience about using a sprayer. I followed OMAR's write ups on the topic. Also figured I wouldn't have to worry about filters. But my biggest worry being in a high humidity state like Florida was the moisture you get by from using a compressor. When I researched it seemed like it was going to be very expensive to buy a decent dryer. Didn't have to worry about that with the Preval system.

moisture is always a ptoblem even here in ky. i buy the gun filters at harbor freight and pivco they are cheap.

if your only gonna paint one bike i would go Omars route for sure

the cleaner thinner and everything you dont count on ends up making it cost prohibitive to
just one job I just bought a gallon of thinner for the paint I used on Les' bike and it was 80.00
