Anyone know about this gun? How old is it? Worth it? I was looking for a good top/finish coat gun...Always sceptical about the cheapo guns, but who knows.

Any opinions?

I know THAT. I know it's a good brand. I'm talking about as far as the model, etc. I was referring to the "Walmart" and "Department" store specials for guns. Even Home Depot has 'em for $50 for some off brand HVLP guns. Do you know about the particular model on that site? Is it worth getting? Any difference from Bottom to Top feed guns? Conventional over HVLP? I painted my car w/ a SataJet hvlp about 3 years ago...still has a mirror shine. I got a new hood, and want to do the same finish on it, but I can't get a hold of the SataJet I used, and I'm not dropping $500+ on it either.

How is the GTI-600G? Would it be exceptional for any type of paint your laying? Clear/Base/Primer? (I wouldn't think Primer, but what about the others?)

Thanks for the info!!!

They're pretty much general purpose, so you can spray most paints /primers with them as is. Sometimes exceptionally thick primers may do better with a larger tip. I prime with a gun that I use for nothing else, and base/clear with another.

So, I can use like Dupont Base and Clear w/ it, and it should work fine, correct? That's basically all I want to use it for. Just base and clear coats.

Yes, any of them would work fine for that purpose.
