Carl,

You can get a lot of cheap tools at HF and I have done that in the past but a 
spray gun is not where I would try to save a few bucks. The quality of the 
finish is where others will notice your work.

I have used a few of their guns in the past and you really cant compare the 
results with a quality gun.

I would take a look at Eastwood or Tcpglobal. If you want to get the best 
results and you plan to do more than one car, invest in quality. Paint these 
days is real expensive.

Just my opinion.
