So I bought two guns from Summit, a nice looking 1.4 lvlp unit with a aluminum cup for epoxy and finish and (based on "shine's" advice) a Vaper hvlp 1.8 for 2k primer.
Now I haven't sprayed a darn thing through them but after spending hours disassembling, cleaning and "finishing" all the machining I now wonder:
Is it possible that these guns a capable of producing better finishes than their price tag suggests? There was tons of grease, locktite, metal flakes, flash and incomplete machine work in both guns straight out of the box. Now that I've worked them over thoroughly I feel more confident in their use.
Granted, they are not Iwata's or Sata's but I wonder if the cheapies get a bad wrap because most don't spend the time "finishing the job" by thoroughly cleaning and detailing the machine work?
Guess I'll find out soon enough, the SPI epoxy kit is on its way!
