My siphon/comventional feed spray guns, Craftsman and Campbell Hausfeld, are old and parts are no longer available. I need a new one or new ones. I've looked at these reviews, but I'm confused: http://www.paintspraypro.com/gravity...y-gun-reviews/

I am familiar with siphon feed, since this is the only kind I've ever used. My guns are pretty simple. Is the gravity feed better, just as simple? Should I stick with siphon feed?

The reviews seem to consider paint, rather than clear coat finishes, when comparing the two kinds of guns. I've never sprayed paint, besides, I have an industrial spray gun (needs new bushings) we used to spray paint on the barn.... I wouldn't use this for furniture or like projects, anyway.

I spray occasionally, maybe once every month, at the most. These days, probably less, but I'd like a good durable gun.... probably $150 max should be a reasonable cost, I suppose. I don't want a cheap, short-life gun. I've had my old guns, probably, for 30 yrs. *I haven't priced any siphon feeds, yet.

For my siphon feeds, I use 40 lbs air pressure. According to this discussion - http://www.autobodytoolmart.com/grav...nalfeed-t.aspx -, less air pressure is required for gravity feed. 40 lbs isn't much.... I don't have a problem with this little of pressure. In this comparison, "advantage of gravity feed" is for paint. With clear coat finishes, will I have a similar "better result/application" with a gravity feed gun?

Am I asking the correct questions, to make a reasonable decision?

Any suggestions or explanations would be appreciated.... but I'd prefer short and simple, LOL.

Thanks.
