And more specifically, adapted for spraying rustproofing materials like oil or woolwax lanolin.
I have one of these in 2.5 gallon size from corrosion-x which was pricy.
Note that there is ONE hose from the tank to the spray gun. So it is pressure fed only. Feed the tank with compressed air, and pressurized oil comes out of the wand attached to the gun.
A paint pressure pot type rustproofing gun comes in a few forms.
Definitely don’t want the upper one, most of my work is done with a vehicle only slightly elevated. The second one is more like my interest, and like what I have. The difference is that it has two hoses, which I don’t really want. Ideally, I’d like to be able to make a second oil spray system out of a used pressure pot and an air blow gun.
A pressure pot looks like this:
The system I own, shown at the very top, has one hose, and I think just lacks the “atomizing air” connection. Otherwise it is functionally the same, I think.
a one hose system would use a gun like this:
While the two hose system needs one like this:
Which has a connection for material feed and atomizing air.
So, to make something like the unit I have, from the very first picture, is it as simple as running a pressure pot, and capping off the second outlet on the regulator, that feeds the atomizing air line, and then install the simple air gun type handle on the end of the hose?
Is there any reason why that wouldn’t work?
Seems like a system could be made for $100 or so, exactly like I want it, instead of being close to $1000.
Any info or thoughts would be great!

The convenience of the single hose and wand with nothing attached is very desirable to me.
