I'm looking to pick up a spray gun for a full respray, and I was hoping of you guys could give me some thoughts as to what you think of this gun? It's gravity-fed and has the magic HVLP tag that I've heard good things about, but it's much cheaper than i thought i'd have to pay. Is this a good catch, or will i get what I pay for (ie. C**p)

Looks orite. A cheaper copy of some of the better guns out there.

You need to match it to a decent compressor too, especially if your going for a full paint job.

Agreed with tnhe guys, it should be ok, what I have found is that cheaper guns need more thorough cleaning after before and after use???? maybe the internals are rougher or somehting I dunno.
