Oh contrair my friend.. I used an Iwata LPH 400.
SO THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But for the base I did still use my cheap Astro HVLP,
that darn gun does really good at base and primer.
But get this, I used a brand of base called Gen-Tech, I really like
the way it covers and sprays aaaaaaaand it was only
$75.00 a quart for that orange, what a deal.
So I did get to live up to my el-cheapo reputation.
I got just under 600.00 in the total job.
(Base, epoxy, 2K and clear)
