Trying to be the best me, I can be
Years ago, I used to buy fairly expensive guns for primer. Ruined more than one when working commission, I'd prime then while waiting for it to flash be working on another car. Set the gun down and the before I knew it the primer (2k urethane) had kicked over. Never bothered me too much as I was making good money at those Shops. Looking back on it I realized how stupid it was to buy a expensive gun for primer (at least for me). Priming is hard on a gun, especially 2k urethane and poly primer in the summer. Guns get dirty, rarely do you have the time to really get them clean. So I started using Astro's and others like Iwata Air Gunsa's. Shine likes the Vaper 2.3 gun mentioned in this thread for poly primer. Most any cheap 1.8 nozzle gun will spray 2k Urethane decently enough, especially considering it all gets sanded. I currently have 2 Iwata air gunsa's that I use. When those croak I'll go with something cheaper than those. Spend your money on your basecoat and clear guns
