I have been looking around on this forum for the last few weeks and have just looged on and signed up today. I'm ready to purchase a new powder coating gun and would like some advice on what direction I should go. I would like to hear all possibilities so I can make the right decision. Anyone have any suggestions on what gun I should go with? I finally have my shop set up and this harbor freight gun isn't going to do the trick.

That wagner that Wise has is the cat's A__!
But I got to tell you I loved my EW pro gun, just wish it could lay it down and due multiple coats better.
My ebay gun isn't bad but if I had to do over again I would have gotten the King gun.Comment

I carry a gun because I'm too young to die, and too old to take an ass-whoopin'!Comment

Originally posted by polertWith Juan on the Caswell HV With few mods, and a King clone prime/blow hopper it is a great selection. I feel the Hypersmooth deal sucks because it cost $800-$900 with no (REAL) hopper. The King gun looks like a nice system with a prime/blow hopper using a official powder pump for the same price $899 as the hypersmooth.
Order of guns in ranking under $1000
1. King $899
2. Caswell HV $250
3.Hypersmooth $899
Dead Heat
3. Pro Gun Eastwood $589
Sorry for the rant, but this is the same dead horse over and over. Either way you choose to go, I can tell you that both vendors offer great support for their customers, and their products.

Re: Which gun should I buy?
I was an early adopter of the King Coat gun and had many issues with the cup set up. Since converting to the beebob hopper (a few months ago) I've gotten used to the additional functionality and set up time and I have little to complain about. Changeover time is definitely longer, but again, with time it has become a non-issue as practice makes perfect. I've never had a contamination problem, but I would credit that to the hose cleaners from Orbitz-- they're great. I've recently pulled out my old caswell hobby gun when I have a really simple small part to coat and it is a nice option. I plan to buy the 50kv caswell gun for a backup and for quick jobs that I don't need a hopper for.
