Krebs airless spraygun

Has anyone used one of these I have just got one (no idea why) I ran some water through it, very noisy but seems to blast it out.
I was wandering what its good for.

Are not they used for spraying fences etc,,,,timber colouring, no good for cars as they can spit and dribble, good to colour the neighbours cat

Wasn't thinking of spraying the car, wheels maybe.
I still have a good compressor, Infra Red and devillbis set up should the urge take me.

Back when Pontius was a pilot I used a similar device to re-spray my £40 Mini. It actually did quite a good job and produced a really authentic looking BMC orange peel effect.

You will probably get a smoother finish using a standard garden hosepipe with no attachment on the end.

It's a 'buzz gun'.
As stated above, ideal for water based painting of fences and houses, although with houses the paint needs to be so watered down, it'll take a good few coats to cover well.
Noisy and messy but quick.

Well gave it a go and suprisingly good, you have to get the vicosity right but I wacked some gloss paint on a house door pretty good.
I don't think Devillbis will be worried but could have its uses.
Very noisy.

And now you have to clean it all out I have had my JGA for 50 years

Suprisingly cleaning is very very easy, it has its uses but not for high quality finishes.

I used one to spray below a 4 x 4 I owned and it did a good job. Good for spray cleaning parts or even engine bays with degreaser. Or has beef said shed fences etc.
