I'm a trim carpenter, and recently a client wanted some crown painted with oil based paint. The finish turned out nice even just brushing it on, and plan recommending it in the future. My question is: do they make somthing that can feed stock through and spray it in one go? If I can paint everything with no mess on site, that would be the cats ass. Picrel is what I had in mind, would try to fab it together using a hplv sprayer but would rather buy it. searching for existing equipment only comes up with industrial conveyors and whatnot.
>>2622041spraying would have a lot of waste due to oversprayyou could probably flow-coat instead by just pouring the (thinned?) paint over the moulding as it rolls past, and having another bucket underneath to catch the overflow.maybe add a wiper underneath since you don't need to paint the backside. then just swap the buckets for the next pieceno compressor needed and you'd get a better finish as well
>>2622042>due to overspraythat's why he's spraying right above the reservoir.>>2622041it could totally work. get a couple motors, bend up some sheet metal, and get to work.
>>2622042You're right, i doubt the overspray could be used again, i'm thinking about having 2-3 nozzles and running multiple sticks at once to try and catch most of the output..It'd be nice to keep it simple with the flow coat, I just know there would be issues with pooling in some profiles like cove. >>2622150Ya it does seem simple enough to pull off. I'll probably end up putting it together. Specialty equipment costs a 'tarded amount of $.
