I still have my MBC which I've had for more than 40 years and she will still put out a cloud of paint that will make ya think your in a snow storm. Now last year I moved into the 21st century and bought a few new guns. Since I taint painting for a living anymore and they are just for occasional use I couldn't see spending two or three hundred on a real good gun.
Like Dave mentioned, Eastwood often has sales on the DeVilbiss three-gun group, a painter and primer and a touch up HVLP gravity feed set for under $200. So I bought the set, not bad guns, they have a nice feel good control of the paint and do the job just fine.
Now how can you pass up the HVLP gravity feed spray guns that Harbor Freight has on sale for the cost of a case of beer. So, when no one I knew was looking I bought a few of them. I Figured what the hey, they would be good enough for priming or spraying the garage floor, the house or the lawn furniture. They are a little heavier feeling not as smooth and rounded off as the better guns, but I gotta say, I've used the big gun and the little touchup guns and they seem to spray just fine and have just as good of control as the DeVilbiss guns that I paid ten times as much for. Mind you now, none of these are suited for professional use but for the occasional home user, I think they are all just fine.
