I bought a cheap paint gun from a swap meet and it cost me a full day's work

It was a knockoff brand, looked okay, but the spray pattern was a mess and I had to re-sand and repaint a hood. Lost about $400 in labor and materials. Anyone know a good mid-range gun that won't break the bank?

Seen that cheap stuff bite people way too often.

Ugh, same thing happened to me last year.

What if the cheap stuff is fine and people just don't know how to install it right? Simonl11, maybe your bad experience was a one-off or a setup problem. I've used plenty of budget parts that lasted for years with no trouble. Sometimes you pay for a name, not for something that actually works better.
