 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,

Thank you all for the input on Zolatone. I also about choked at the

price of the spray equipment and gave up on the idea until John brought

it up.



As a side note the pressure setup James mentioned below (#93305) is on

sale for $39.99 through the Harbor Freight website.



If dimples on the outside of a golf ball makes it fly better, then do

bumps on the interior of a plane make it fly better? 

Thanks again,



Vern Smith (#324 fuselage)
