painting a set of leaf springs for a CJ3A this morning. first pair all good than my trusty Sharpe spray gun started slowing down big time. not a simple clog. I have a harbor freight spray gun i generally use for priming. saved the day. just nothing worse than air compressor or paint gun trouble in a middle of a paint job.
just a tip,  harbor freight paint guns are cheap and work good.

I painted CHUG with a couple of them (painted it twice with a year in between hence the second gun). Still haven't used the two little detail guns I got with the others. I also used a Central Machine (Hharbor Freight brand) Old school detail gun.

yep - I have one of those guns. At the time it was in think $29. I figured it was a throw away one use. I've had it at least 7-8 years. They really do work well for your average DIY'er!
