Hey guys I'm looking to purchase a gun and looking for some advice from some of you professionals. I'm not going to be painting any boats or cars just general things for work and home. Prices seem all over the place and obviously I don't need the best one out there. I will probably use it 8 or 10 times a year. What would be a good gun for a rookie that's easy to use and will last me a while. Thanks for any input. Jason

I bought a Sata knockoff from my Matco man for primer. It is HVLP and sprays good. I have even used it on a few small jobs when I don't feel like grabbing my nice guns. I think it was around $180-200???

Thanks guys, I will check out both models

I just picked up a HET Iwata from their Air Gunsa line for spraying heavy epoxy primers and thicker industrial enamels. For a $115 bucks I'm impressed. They come in a handfull of different tip sizes for all around painting.
