#1 | | Spray rig helper *w/pic* Name: Alan Schaffter City: Washington State: NC County: Beaufort Join Date: Dec 2005  11-17-2006, 12:19 AM
I got tired of trying to find a place to set my spray gun down and repeatedly kicking my pressure pot. I was watching a TV doctor show which gave me an idea- so ordered this. It is a standard IV pole. I got a new one on Ebay- it was cheaper than a used one from the local medical supply store. It is not real heavy duty but should do the trick. I'll put a barbel weight on the base if it needs it.  | | Views: 273 | |

Good thinking! I love when a good idea works out. As long as you move the pole and not pull it by the hoses, it should work nicely! |

I have got to get one of those.
Alan, I am assuming this is HVLP. Is this a conversion gun? How does the compressed air hook ups work using a pressure pot? | |

Air is just connected to the pot. Right now I adjust air to the gun at the wall since I don't have a mini regulator on the gun. The pot has a built-in regulator to keep it pressurized- I keep it set to around 6-7 psi. I like the pot- I can get the gun into smaller cabinets more easily and can oriented in any direction since there is no cup hanging from it that must be held upright. | |

Neat Alan!
But forget the barbells. How about an electric motor/drive assembly on the base and a remote control. 
You can do it
