Not to discourage buying new tools, but since I worked for Binks through
the 70's and into the mid 80's, I accumulated and used lots of quality
spray equipment, even an electric airless unit. Painted dozens of cars and
thousands of squae feetback of walls back then. In recent years I haven't
painted as much, but my old guns still work just as well as they did then,
and I know how to use them already.
