New Base/Clear gun recommendations for the DIYers in the $200-$400 range

I've got a W-400 Bellaria 1.4 that I've been well satisfied with. I think the Kiwami is the replacement for the Bellaria. About $200 from Japan on Ebay for the Bellaria, and I've seen the Kiwami on there for about the same price.

Bought a FLG-5 1.4 about a year ago from the UK based on Gunman's reviews. About $130 shipped to my door in 3 days. $105 for the gun and $25 shipping. I was honestly prepared to be disappointed, thinking there's no way a hundred dollar gun can be as good as the reviews say it is. Only thing I've done with it was to prep a kinked fender I've kept around, and sprayed it with SPI black SS. I can't say anything about how it would work on base or clear, but it laid that SS down slick as glass.

I'd seen a few things in the past that said the FLG-5 is made in Brazil, but mine is marked made in the UK.

You are absolutely correct the FLG 5 is now made in the UK. That had slipped my memory until you mentioned it. Going from memory, they bought the rights sometime last year?
