i couldn't find a bodywork sections so i hope this is the right place. i am thinking of buying a new paint gun, i currently have a devilbiss finishline FLG3. i have had it a few years and its in need of a rebuild kit since i have some seals leaking, and im having trouble to finding one. i also have misplaced the 1.5 tip so i only have the 1.8 for it. its been a really good gun and i have considered buying another but i want some advise from you body guys. what gun would be good for the hobbyst, i paint one or 2 cars a year and some other stuff. i want something with a couple different tips so i can spray clear and a lil heavier stuff like single stage as well. i know sata is the best but i can't justify the cost for the amount i use it . sorry for the long post, and thanks for any help.

there are various kits that come with a touch up gun, primer gun and pait gun with all the proper tips and they are hvlp guns......depending on brands kit runs about 150.00 to 200.00

Not to mention, I have seen my friend, who has been in the body shop business for over 40 years, paint cars with the less than $20 guns at Harbor Freight. Just for an example....

I know equipment has something to do with it, but if you have sprayed these few cars with cheap guns, all I can say is what are you witing for? Get busy and spray that thing!!!
