Found this gun for $112 at powertoolbox.net. Anyone have an opinion. I'll just be shooting ********** primers on my car.

thanks

I have two of these in the later version HTE2 which has only superficial changes. Mine are 1.3mm and I use one for base and the other for clear on smaller jobs where the slightly smaller fan size suits better. Good reliable guns with very good atomisation and even pattern. The 1.3 will lay down clear almost as well as the Tekna.

These are the top of the range from Air Gunsa, Iwata's European arm, and while you could be picky about a couple of minor design issues they're really unbeatable in terms of value, especially at that price. For primer the 1.8mm should do a really good job. A bonus is that they are not air hogs, using only 7cfm. I run mine a few psi higher than the 29psi recommended.

Equivalent Devilbiss is the FLG5 at double the price.
