Paint Gun Info. -Sharpe "Finex"

[almcbri]

I ordered today a Sharpe-Finex gravity paint gun. I was wondering if anyone had any pro's and cons they would like to add about these guns? The price seemed right. I figure in a few years I will move on up to a sata and use this gun for my primer gun but for now this will do on my college budget. I am a beginner on paint work, but I am fixing to paint this old 83' ski nautique-base/clear here in a week or two and am trying to get that ready to go. Any feedback on this gun will be great.

I ordered the same gun...FX300. I read on another board that a gun liked his just as much as his SATA. So it muct be half decent, especially for the money.

I just bought a FX100 mini for small work and I am very happy with it.

Mike,

How much did you give for the mini? and where did you buy it at? After painting my dash and other misc. hard to reach places I see where a smaller gun would come in handy.

I am happy also with my gun. I don't know that it as good as a Sata, but for what I am doing right now, I am happy with it. As far as the price goes you can't beat em as well. My good friend who builds Bel-Airs uses a $50.00 porter cable gun and shoots 50K-60K dollar cars with it. I even painted with it, and was impressed. I can't complain, for that price you can throw it away and buy a new one for each project.

Where did you get the gun at? How much was it? Just curious, I'm might be throwing some paint around pretty soon.

I got mine from a local paint store in Edmond, Ok. I think I payed like 95.00 plus I got 1.4 and 1.8 tips and extra misc. parts for the gun.

You can get them out of eastwood magazine or online cheaper than that.
