I love those planes.I painted the fiberglass fuselage of my Bridi UFO using monokote colored paint.With Midnite blue matalic paint over white.I miss that plane I sold it back in 1985 for a hollow fuel injection for my 84 Pontiac Fiero.
A SCUBA tank first stage regulator drops the 3000 psi tank pressure down to 125 psi..... A simple standard gate valve or a secondary regulator on the end of the gun brings that down into the 25-30 tip pressure.... as long as you have a first stage regulator that will get it from 3000 down to the mid hundreds the rest is easy.
If you're worried about thinning the paint for weight savings you should really invest in a higher quality gun. You'll minimize the amount you put on and have a more consistent and better coverage

Thank you for this video! Very informative!
Is Wings West system still in business ?? Awesome video by the way ..
I would love to see how you regulate a 2000 psi dive tank down to the detail gun at 25-30! Neat set up.
A standard diving regulator has 2 ports on high one low. The low is 150 psi.

WOuld a nitrogen tank work as well?

I enjoy my SATA guns but the expercise has been to get people in and off the spray cans.
Getting them to invest $30 has been challenging.
Is Wings West still around?
