Paint guns
Has anyone used a Campbell Hausfield paint gun? I'm looking to buy one this fall and would probably go for the HVLP gravity feed one. I generally stay away from CH stuff, but the price can't be beat for something I won't use TOO much. Any other ideas?

This depends on what you plan to do with the gun. Most cheap guns are copies of expensive guns, and do a fine job for average painting. If you want to paint a vehicle, you will need more than one gun, or at least more than one tip to do the job.
Be more specific about what you plan to use it for, and we can give you a better answer...

I want to paint my truck after doing the bodywork. Primer and paint. I'll probably paint the frame with a POR-15 type product so it'll probably be brushed.

Here is my paint gun:
j/k I am in the same boat. I think I am going to prep, prime, and paint my truck too. It will of course be awhile, which will give me time to practice. So I am looking for recomendations on a gun too. I plan to use it to paint my truck and other random stuff (like welded steel parts). Maybe even use it to paint the house. I am looking for an all purpose gun I guess. Is that a good route to go or a bad choice? I do not think I will spend over $200 on a apint gun. Could I get a quality gun for under $200?
