If you can squeeze just a few more bucks out of your budget I suggest you go on eBay and look up devilbiss starting line, devilbiss is a pretty well respected gun maker and the starting line they offer is very good for the money( about $80 ) whatever gun you want make sure you get it with a 1.3 tip, a 1.4 tip would probably also be OK but in the hands of someone less experienced it may have a tendancy to get runs in the paint. Anything bigger than a 1.4 is a no no, tips bigger than a 1.4 are generally for spraying high build primers and poly primers and will definitely case some massive run is you try to spray paint with them. The best thing you can do for whatever gun you buy is keep it clean, make sure you disassemble it after every use and clean all the parts in clean thinner. Good luck

I don't have any experience with this system but it gets excellent reviews and there is even a guy on YouTube that uses it for epoxy primer. I just got this system for Christmas but haven't set it up yet. I plan to use it for finishing woodworking projects in my woodshop but if I get into restoring tractors, I will be using this system as well.

Many will tell you that everything HF sells is junk. That's completely bogus. Yes, MOST of what they sell is junk but there are many items there that are extremely good tools at rock bottom prices. This is supposed to be one of them. Others include their dust collection system and their 5 speed mini lathe which I own and can tell you its a great tool.

By the way, take a 25% off coupon with you or find a code if ordering online and suddenly you have a complete system for 90 bucks. Id challenge anyone to find a better deal for a comparable unit. This is also the same unit sold by Rockler which everyone raves about. Those not smart enough to do the research will tell you the same model with a HF sticker on it is junk, lol.

I've had very good luck with my harbor freight hvlp gun. I originally bought it to paint my 1200 . After that it sat for a couple years then I took it and used as my work and painted 1000 metal rings for cctv housings. Did fine! I used epoxy primer and full crill for top coat. It worked so good they bought two of them for some more paint jobs we did. They have an 8oz sata gun , but that takes forever with a gun that small. To me it does just as good job as the high dollar guns. One thing, the harbor freight gun has a 1.4 tip . Practice first cause you can put runs in your paint very easy if you're not careful. Take your time practice and adjust your settings so you don't run it.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
