Question for the painting Guru's
 
I am in need of a new paint gun, as my trusty Harbor Freight gun has seen better days. Not only do I use it for painting my cubs I also do finish work in my wood working hobby. I found these on E-bay. Good deal or not?
Thanks

Spray guns.
 
I would not purchase those guns for 2 reasons. 1 you can get almost that identical set less the pretty carry case for 50$ https://pulsar.ebay.com/plsr/clk/0/S...Mt%2FlDW%22%7D

Reason 2. these guns are kinda crappy, you cant find internal parts to replace needle valves and seals. Spend $150 or $200 on a 1 good gun that comes with a 1.6 tip and needle for primer and a 1.3 or 1.4 for your base coats or single stage paints. it literally takes a min to change over from primer setup to paint.

Good luck

Unless you are painting in a professional spray booth I think the POS China Freight guns are pretty dang good. I won't feel bad when I throw a $9.99 gun in the trash after it stops working well but I'm still using the first one I purchased.

I totally agree with Oak and Alvy. The OP had a link up from ebay for 3 Made in china guns for $350. I was just saying if your going to spend hundreds on a higher end gun just get one good one. We keep a couple Astro's around the shop for single stage equipment jobs but for classic cars and trucks and some higher end equipment we use Sata Jet 5000's . Pearls, flake jobs, or candies come out better with a gun that has a little more control.

I don't have a clue how that price came about. But the one I linked to was 59.00 free shipping. NOOOOOOOOOO I would never pay that for a hobby paint gun. I made that post in Feb. apparently this nut changed the price.

Well read carefully! He sold 524 POS kit and THIS IS THE LAST ONE! :ROTF2:

Seriously, he made a typo! $356 instead of $56 but try to get the $300 refund and you will found out how full of B/S this scammer his. If the OP want to spend $50 he better pick 2 HF and keep them clean.
