Jerry, I still have my Binks model 7 that I bought 35 years ago. And I'll be using it to paint my "63" Falcon "Ragtop sometime this next year. I wouldn't sell it for a million dollars.

My favorite gun from old days was the Binks BBR. Second was model seven.

I love them old spary guns over the new type. Thanks for the video

My favorite old gun ive laid down some slick jobs with same gun

You can’t beat those old guns Jerry. I used my Devilbiss that I bought in the 70’s on a few projects this past summer and it still sprays like new. Great video

Back in 90's I was painting Terra-Gators for a fertilizer plant. My go to gun was a Sharpe conventional with a 2.2 tip. Shot primer, enamel, and even bc/cc with it (flow turned way down). Loved it because of the flow the paint had as well as cup size. Still have it today. Just a pain to clean up.

I'm just a hobbyist. Paint a complete about every 5 years or so. I use a Sharp model 75. No, not a 775, lol. Thanks for the video.

I still use my Binks #7 for spraying Metalics and Pearls

Some of best spray guns in past Devibliss jga 502 Sharpe 775 spi Binks 7 Just to name a few. Really like your Videos and look forward to them!

The placement of cup doesn’t determine conventional or HVLP. The cap determines the type of pattern. Example I have a DeVebiss GPI with conventional cap (gravity fed) for base. GTI Prolite with a LVLP (gravity fed) cap for clear. They sell new siphon guns with a HVLP caps.

Yes siphon gun can spray upside down, thats why i ilke it. May i ask, can i use a 0.8mm nozzle for siphon spray gun with pressure pot? would it spray better?

I've painted thousands of RV's and boats with a Binks #7. I still have one I like to use for high build primer. It took me awhile to get used to HVLP gravity feed guns. Merry Christmas Jerry

I bought a detail gravity gun to spray some small parts, was Not Impressed, had a lot of orange peel. The gun itself and the cup was very hard to clean, spent 45 minutes cleaning it. Used my Bink's #7 the same day to spray a bigger project. Wow paint looked Perfect, took 10 minnutes to clean spray gun and Binks solvent saver cup. Binks #7 for topcoat, Thor #7 for primer.

Lemans Blue for the AMX?

Still seeing many shops use the JGX-502 spray guns.

Another great video I like my binks

Nice. Thank you!

Good stuff Bud!! I have 18 guns but the Binks 7 has been my go to gun for over 50 years, nothing compares to it!!☻

I picked up a Thor Model #7 (made by Binks) at a swap meet 30 years ago. After the development of the internet, I was able to research the Thor brand. It seems that when Binks first introduced the #7 they used the "Thor" name. Binks sold the Thor#7 from approx 1927-1935. My old swap meet, siphon feed gun is well over 90 years old and does a couple complete paint jobs per year and countless smaller projects.

Damn that MBC I bought new for around $200 back in the ‘80s. I also got the old Binks #7 I had given to me. Still have both. Teach these whippersnappers brother. The only advantage I see with a gravity feed gun is you get ALL the material out of the cup, and these days with expensive material that’s a plus. The good old days when you can leave primer in the gun

What kind of exhaust fan setup do you have?

I did my apprenticeship under an "old skool" car builder, fabricator, paint and body guy and he had built many show cars with a stick welder and Devilbiss siphon gun. Thanks for the video and Merry Christmas 🎄

The blue looks great, Jerry 👍

Nobody uses a siphon gun on KZbin...glad you use it 👍👍👍😊

Good video. Thank you and Merry Christmas.

Yes old school thanks for the info 👍👍👍

those old guns still work well

I remember the days, when everyone wanted one of those two guns...me included! Merry Christmas to the Lakeside Autobody family! ⛄⛄

Could you make a video on the specifics of using bondo and getting the seam to disappear? I've tried multiple tests with scrap metal and pieces of fenders pulled from the junkyard. There is always a noticeable dip or inconsistency in the seam that I can't work out. Would switching to a finer filler at this stage benefit me?

I like conventional spray guns because you can set them down and they’re not top heavy when you’re holding them. I tend to use gravity fed ones for small jobs because the disposable paint cups makes clean up really fast but when I have a big project or a project I really care about I’m busting out my Binks Thor Model 7 that was made in 1937. I’ve never seen anything lay down paint as smooth as it does. I have a couple spray guns and I’d gladly give them up before I ever let go of that Binks.

Any tips or things to consider when trying to make sure the patch is completely flush to the rest of the body?

I still use my siphon gun......love it.....

Awesome Jerry....you prove its not the tool in your hand but the person behind it... And you did it very well!.. Merry Christmas and have a great New year! 🎆🌲

conventional guns are sure more comfortable to me.

I always got quality jobs out of my binks #7 ( copy) ,also devilbiss mbc .years ago i switched to gravity feed guns . It took some getting used to ,but that's all i use at the latest. Im retired now after 25 - 30 years as a painter - i had enough . Let someone else get the headaches.!

the epa was suspose to 0ut law those guns

Thanks for doing this it have both and often wondered.

I used to use conventional gun. But changed to modern guns. After seeing this I think I will revisit the old gun. Thanks for the video. Have a great week. Merry Christmas.

I only had the opportunity to use Marson and Sharpe siphon guns. The cups always distorted at the top and leaked when tilted too much. I taped a paper shop towel around the cup to catch any leaks. The places I worked would never buy top end spray equipment like Binks or Devilibiss.

Cutting out all that rust at the beginning means you lost the shape of the metal. Why reinvent it and then need to skim it with filler to make it look decent?

What about a hard 90 degree?

Doing it on a solid white paint instead of metallic helps 500%

Maybe i did not catch it 36 or 40 to start off? Using it on my roof for the 1st time.

feathered right in ...nice.

Great stuff. Thank you

Nice work!!! 😃 My first two questions would be.. 1. Where are you guys located and 2. What would a pull/straightening like this or similar to this (mine is pushed in a little on a corner. A little bit in and a little bit down or up, ever so slightly each way) cost or run the average person that wanted their ride to be nice underneath the sheet metal, maybe impacting battery and fog light mounting ever so slightly?

They all look good but i promise the cheap clears will not hold up in the texas heat every day ,you get what you pay for

Upol iam not convinced on uv protection like global ppg not happening

Nice work!

Great video! For the experts out there, I am considering a combination of the techniques shown here along with welding. I have a large rust spot and given the location, it would be difficult to butt weld. I was thinking about welding a backer plate, building up with fiber glass, and finishing with bondo. Any issues with doing this?
