Hey guys-
Just stumbled across this Zolatone thread on the RV Builders Hotline. I'm
building a -7A and plan to finish the interior with Zolatone. After reading
the Zolatone website I just about choked at the cost of the spry guns they
recommend. My local auto paint supplier sugested a "Shutz Gun" which is used
to apply automotive undercoatings. I wasn't convinced that this was a good
idea so I emailed Zolatone and got a very helpful reply regarding an
economical Harbor Freight based alternative. The trick is getting a gun with
as large enough spry tip for the texture particles. Here is the text of that
email. Hope this helps someone.
Jim,
Big time bad. Don't even try it because you can't do the necessary "sheer
coat" then "pattern coat" to properly to install our product as outlined on
our web site and master catalog.
Recently one outfit that does Airstream refurbish work in CO bought this
setup from Harbor Freight and he said it worked well. It is definitely lower
cost than DeVilbiss, Sata and Sharpe which have setups that sell for $500 -
$800.

Harbor Freight Pressure Pot Spray Gun Setup
According to an Airstream refurbisher in CO, this worked very well.
www.harborfreight.com
# 93305 Pressure Pot w/ Bad Gun $49.99
(Buy this and don't use the gun that comes with it)
# 43760 Good Gun w/ .082" Tip $19.99
(1 Qt siphon gun, detach from cup and use w/ pressure pot setup)
----
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
