New paint gun

[hey mister]

Good evening, (in the voice of Alfred Hitchcock)..lol

Fresh from the postman, my new Inokraft D1.
I've seen some good reviews and figured it a step up from the $30 Hazard Fraught gun.
I'll use that one for primer.

Everything seems well machined and of good fitment. However I have not yet completely torn it down for the initial cleaning.

I will say that the website I order from was a tad shady. And here's what I mean by that. The advertised price for the unit was $70. but when I went to check out, it jumped to $90. So I contacted them via email and included screen shots. It took 3 or 4 days for a reply of which the explaination was an issue with the website and $90 was the actual price. Well buggers! So I put it off for a couple weeks or so as I half-heartedly searched for a better deal. No luck. Went back and now the same exact unit was showing $110. (#%**#@*%) Are you kidding me?!?! So I fired off another email and got a quick reply stating that the $90 was a Black Friday deal and it had expired. Who has Black Friday sales in Janurary?
Now I'm pissed. I grumbled about the house and the wife (God bless her) says, keep it up and they'll up it another $20 just to piss you off even more. So I just bit my lip and paid the $110.
I must confess, I am a tight-*** and I mean my wallet is so tight, I squeek when I walk. They say knowing it is half the battle. But that doesn't seem to make it any better. And I'm way past frugle and eccentric isn't even close either. Just tight.
So anywho, if ya find a website that is similiar to tul-uncle.com...that's the shady buggers I have nothing nice to say about, so I won't...lol

Now, I can't wait till the weather turns nice. But I was feeling that way in Decrmber.

I think the thing I dispise the most is not being able to deal with them face to face.
This kind of shananigins would get resolved real quick....and most likely with me needing a lawyer on retainer and a good bail bondsman...lol

Did you intentionally buy an LVLP spray gun. You are talking about it being a step up from your harbor freight gun,which I would believe,but check it I'm thinking your HF gun is HVLP. Wondering why you are switching?

HF actually sells a higher end paint gun and disposable cup system which I purchased and intend to use for primers. I have a lower end Devilbiss which is okay but my best one is the Matco gun which has a lot of extra parts and a lot more versatility. And most importantly, lays down the materials best. Now, I just need to learn how to shoot better which includes mixing the materials, and controlling the environment. Excellent painting is definitely a very skilled trade and hazardous to your health so be absolutely certain to use proper ppe most effectively.
