Looking to buy a set of paint guns to restore a 51 chevy 3600. Any decent values out there on a decent set of guns. Looking for a set to three guns or so that isnt to expensive, yet does a decent job. Any thought would be appreciated. Thanks

I painted my truck with Farm and tractor enamel using the Harbor freight guns.

This one for primer.

and this pair for finish paint.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

I bought one of THESE and found it to be a HUGE improvement over the Harbor Freight guns I used to brag up. My only issue was that the 1.8 tip was too big so I swapped it out for the 1.5 tip (included) and no more issues,

I still use the HF touch-up gun and like it.
