                        Well, I obtained this from the job and thought I'd share it with y'all.
                        http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=43430

                        I was helping my cousin paint an old Victorian house & this is what I was given to do the job with. HVLP sprayer. My cousin has been a painter for 20= yrs & couldn't figure out why it didn't workShock [:O]
                        I adjusted the airflow knob on the bottom & got it working. The other knob near the trigger is the paint flow & I dialed it in real nice.
                        What y'all think of this gun?
                        tia,

                        It looks like it would work well for free hand camo on 1/1 German armorBig Smile [:D]!

                        LoL Bud!!Whistling [:-^]  I may just have to paint my dad's boat & I think this would do the TrickTongue [:P] I've spent about 10 of the last 24 hrs. waxin' & buffin' it out & it's pretty well oxodized. It's a slow process & looks like I'm getting it to come out  for the most part.  Need to redo the pinstripes tho... Think this gun'll work for that?Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg] or would I be better off with the Badger 175Whistling [:-^]
