cliff notes:
cheap HF paint guns can be modded to perform like nice expensive guns by:
- getting o-rings for the cup
- taking the gun apart and cleaning/removing the cheap silicone sealer used on various threads that can potentially chip off and clog the gun
- applying teflon tape to all the threaded parts upon reassembly.

any thoughts on this?

I may do this on a the cheap primer gun I plan on picking up.
im indifferent on using the HF guns for long term. $20 is nice for just a few uses but i wasnt happy with the way they atomize the paint vs my quality guns. For someone just starting out or on a slim budget i dont see anything wrong with it. I personally wouldnt invest in a HF gun but thats just my opinion.
