Hey Gelcoater!

[Wheeler]

Are people still using this set up or have most moved on to disposable guns?

@Gelcoater

 

[Gelcoater]

I use a Binks gun but the pot and setup is mostly the same.
That metal regulator is a pain, I use a newer plastic unit but the last one lasted almost 9 years without issue, so.

Is there anything you DONT HAVE stashed around or place

To top it off knowing that I would be joining a quasi boating forum someday I set up this Develbiss for gel coat! Haven't used it since '77 or so.

What do you think it's worth? I really don't see me shooting anything any time soon so it might be time to send it down the road.

Thanks for any advice.

How about a 3k psi three stage 24v compressor or possibly the worlds smallest gas powered generator? I have both!

I e no idea what it’s worth.
Or if parts are available.
I can tell you a new Binks rig is about a grand.

You know if you send it down the road in 2-4 months something will come up and you need to shoot something

I have one dedicated to latex for doors and trim, etc.
so save that compressor too as not much else would keep up with that rig

Since you asked and I don't see me getting my dream plane anytime soon this is not doing me any good I might join a gaming site and see what I can get for it.

I have a Binks set up just like that. I used it for spraying texture when I used to do drywall pickup in track homes.

Never thought of using it for texture. I used a bug sprayer.

I have something a little more advanced than that for small single patches

I have one of the original versions on the truck. Yours is a little fancier than mine.

Hmmm.. Homax works too..

 

[Wheeler]

I found one of them and gave it to the dog shelter. I drag a hose and spray with a hopper. Makes me feel like a fireman.

Are you spraying exclusively with this type set up or do you use larger rigs for the big boats?

 

[Wheeler]

There's gotta be a river royal joke in there somewhere.

@JB in so cal

If the shop I’m spraying at has an airless I’d use it on the big stuff, but for the most part I’m mixing 2 quarts at a time.

I bet he doesn’t have a set of Toomy T-3 pipes for my banshee in there

 

[JUSTWANNARACE]

If he does they are probably not "cut T-3s" but I may know a guy that does

 

[Wheeler]

I would say that you are correct in that assumption but I might have some DMC prototype pipes that Dave Miller made for Toomey. ....or was it an LP of Electric tommy that I have hidden away. idk anymore.

Thanks for the info. this will give me an idea or how to price it when I go to sell it off.

He has plans to sell everything. I'm helping with the details.

Thanks for helping me get this damn monkey off my back!

Today I went to the dump to toss an old gas powered hydraulic airless sprayer out and what do you think I found? More junk to collect and take home to the ranch!

Can you send me your info? I'm gonna contact A&E. They'll help you resolve your issues, and you can be on TV too. It's a win-win.

I pulled up to the metal only container and low and behold there it was! a near complete down draft swamper housing that I've been meaning to order for the past year but couldn't get over the price of the damn things. It's in the back of my truk now.

Hey Gelcoater!

Have you any use for any of this?

I’ve never even seen one before

I’d imagine someone in the world needs or wants them though.

As much stuff as you have an EBay store of your own might not be a bad idea?

Being DMC's is it a single silencer?

I remember that 2 into 1 deal.
Was supposed to give the banshee bottom end if I recall?

Maybe so but it would cut into my senseless posting here on rdp.

I had them on my Banshee. Ran good.

Except that time in Gorman. Put the spark arrestor on it. It plugged up on a cold day with the ground covered in snow. Was stuck at the bottom of Vics cat back trail. Had to double up on friends dirt bike to get back to the truck. Reversed down the trail in 4 low to recover it. One of many crazy adventures in Gormon. Like the time we did the Miller jeep trail and got back to camp 10 hours later.
