I stopped by the HF by work last night and picked up their 2 gun kit
HVLP Spray Gun Kit
sure enough the quality of the gun isn't all that great
I spent a little time today at work using a veritex wheel and taps clean up threads and obvious burrs found thought the gun
installed the 1.8 needle and nozzle in preparation for primer
already the 'feel' of the gun has improved
