The more one spends on a spray gun the more one needs to make sure each and every time the gun is cleaned to like new condition. I have a devilbiss JGA spray gun. I have owned it for the past twenty years plus and it has always done me well. It cost me somthing like ninty dollars new. I can clean it in just a matter of a three/four minutes and it's ready for the next time. I often though about a HPLV gun but the price is more money. A new JGA gun today is $300.00. A HVLP gun is lots more money, however the saving's in paint will off set the price in short order.
