Exactly. If you are going to spend the money on good paint, you should be willing to pay for a better gun which INSURES a better job. I have owned cheap guns, and yes, some shoot well, some were borderline, and some I wouldn't undercoat with.............I guess some people are luckier than I am. If you bought a good cheap gun and it works, clean the crap of it so it stays working, and consider yourself very lucky. Think of them as any tools, you do get what you pay for..........me, I am eying another Sharpe for my Spring Roadrunner paint job............
