i've been a painter for 35 years. in the beginning you had laquer or enamel . it was pretty easy to learn because mixing was easy and the rest was gun control. not so today. new paint systems are designed for the tech. he goes to school every year to try to keep up with the changes. old painters like me have had a hard time converting. nothing sprays the same or performs the same. you cant just pick up a gun and start painting anymore. my old jga's just dont cut it anymore. after buying a collection of hvlp's over the years i ended up with a high end gun. why ? because it saves me a ton of work . theres a fella running around the net that could tell you stuff about paint that would freak you out. not sure where he's at now [gm34]. he's on the other side of paint. he knows the chem side. my advise to a new painter is buy top shelf equipment and go to a first class shop that will send you to school every year. it's a new world guys. just as you get something dialed in they'll drop it and replace it. hard to keep up.

buy quality and you'll deliver quality
