The gravity feed gun is seen everywhere for a simple reason, it is better.
Billyray, I have to disagree with you on the lacquer issue. It has NOTHING to do with politics, it is an environmental issue PERIOD.
The fact you can still by lacquer thinner is akin to saying the better gas mileage requirements by the government are political because gas is still available
Lacquer thinner at the McHome store is being sold and used to clean paint brushes and the like, NOT thin paint. Now, if it was, even then it would only be for brush or roller painting or at the very most airless painting where very little atomization uccurs.
Spraying lacquer paint produces a HUGE amount of atomized droplets of paint full of thinner that is evaporating off into the atmosphere. For that matter, lacquer thinner is still sold at auto paint stores, IT has not been banned, only one of the uses of it.
Besides, it is NOT the best paint. Modern urethanes, polyuretanes and the like are FAR superiour in everyway. Every way except application that is. Lacquer is easier to apply (in some ways) but requires more time/work. Believe me, the paint companies were thrilled to start dropping it, the sales were dropping big time anyway.
Now, gun banning, THAT is political.
