cambell hausfield is junk. Sorry to tell you. Tip size aside, you still need a quality gun to get a quality job.

I know the gun isn't the best so that why i pay less than 100 bucks for it. I don't really know much about paint gun so i think this gun should be fine because I'm not do painting everyday. I'm gonna give a try and see what it feel like use the paint gun. What do you mean by size tip?

tip size. You need bigger tips to shoot thicker paints. typically 1.3 for base and 1.4 for clears and over a 1.7 for primer.

What basics do i need to know? Explain! That gun cannot be $450 dollars. That too much. I gonna sell the crapbell gun. I'm glad i didn't spend $100 bucks for it. Anyway, i found out that H.L.V.P spray guns are often use to paint your vehicle. I heard that it have 1.5 to 1.7 MM spray tips to spray basecoat, clearcoat, and primers/sealers.

That gun is around $450 new. You need a 1.3mm tip for basecoat and 1.4 tip for clear, when using most standard paints.

Sorry but that Iwata gun is well worth over 450.00 new not including the purple cap f.y.i.

Curious to know how much are you selling the spray gun? IF only someone had share some knowlegde about buying spray gun i would gotten something better. I feel like i have been rob in life so many times that why i cannot buy much stuff. If i didn't lost my $500 bucks at school i would probably buy it but now it gone. Now i still have the Crapbell spray gun. Kinda mess up. = (

My advise would be to pay the extra money for better quality products. In the long run you're gonna end up upgrading to them anyway. So buying cheap stuff for the most part is just a waste of money. I use Sata NR and RP for base and clear and Sharpe Finex for primers. Here's my guns. As you can see I have quite a few of them. That's what happens when you buy cheap and then upgrade. I keep the cheap ones around in case I ever need a back up. So far I've never needed them.
