Is that the spray gun that people are modding to spray like high dollar models?

I don't know, I just need it to spay some primer. If it does a good enough job, might look into the modding of one. Can't beet the price 20 bucks with a 2 year full warranty, covers everything but theft.

I have painted a truck with a high dollar gun and the harbor freight gun is just as good. I painted the hood and tailgate on my SS with that harbor freight gun and it worked great. I loaned it to my dad so he could paint his 77 and he would not give it back.

I got an ingersol rand gun from tractor supply to do some painting on my impala and its a piece of ****.

I just picked up harbor freights "professional" series spray gun and I am very excited to try it out. I will report back on its performance.

Still sitting safe and sound in its box in my garage. I have been ****** around with a stupid Jeep instead of painting my car.

OK guys I have read all of your reviews on this paint gun and decided to buy one. Well I kept putting it off until today. Today I got an email from them with some holiday pricing. Their price on this gun is $9.99 with a coupon. There is a limit of 6. I jumped on this deal. I took my son and we went up there. I bought 3 of them. I figured that I would have one for primer, one for paint and one for clear coat or as a backup. I figured you guys would want to know that they were on sale right now for $9.99. Now I am watching the mod video.

I bought their cheaper load leveler last weekend it's the one for 28 instead of 48 and it's rated at 1500 lbs, the more expensive is 3500 lbs maybe? Anyways, thing works great, made by pittsburgh, also picked up a polished kit and a torque wrench they had on sale with coupon for 10.

The only issues I had with the load leveler is with my transfer case on there too it would not level it out, with the trans on it had to be way back to make it level, but it was hooked to a 4.3 v6 too so that may be why.
