After doing my research, I'm considering getting a Fuji Mini Mite 3 for my projects. I was looking at the Sprayport 6003, but now I think I've talked myself into the Fuji. I'm coming from using a Devilbiss siphon gun and another smaller touch-up gun, so I've had to use a high-pressure and flow system in the past, but always been plagued with moisture issues no matter what and no longer have a large compressor, so having a turbine system seems like it would fit all of my portability and storage needs. I plan to spray pre-cat, shellac, and have in the past been known to shoot varnish when I felt like being sticky for a week.
I would assume that moisture and humidity are less of an issue in turbine guns systems because the pressure differential is much lower both at the gun and along the path of flow? Even with moisture traps I fight it here in the south. Would love to have less struggle there but am hoping I am interpreting this correctly. I learned on a pressure pot setup in a different climate, and never had to struggle as much.
Also appears that the Fuji guns need to be a little closer to the material than I'm used to; I assume this is due to lower pressure at the gun?
Having always used siphon guns / pressure pots, I'm not sure of the pros/cons of those versus gravity fed versions. Is cleanup that much easier in the Fuji gravity versions? Is it a hassle or spill risk to shoot horizontal surfaces or get inside tight spaces? The siphon tube on my gun angles to the front of the cup, so I can tip horizontal but I can see that being riskier with the gravity gun. But it also seems that needing to pressurize the cup on the siphon gun adds one more risk.
Any thoughts and input would be helpful before I drop this sort of cash for a new system that I hope will meet my needs for a lot of years. Thanks!
