I am tempted to buy this gun from spraygunworld has anybody used this? Here is the ad

General purpose professional quality spray gun. Modeled after the SATA spray guns, these guns bring you a professional quality finish at a lower price. Don't be fooled by other "knock off" guns. We searched far and wide for the Real Deal. We have even had a few users who liked these guns better than the Real Sata Gun. Fast working speed & wide fan pattern Anodized gun body. Extra Tips Available. Use 1.3 for Hi Solid Clears, Stains, Woodworking, 1.5 for Automotive Medium Solids Colors & Clears Wood Working Waterborne, 1.7 for Wood Working Enamels and Lacquers and 1.9 for Surface Primers or thick Lacquers& Enamels.

I was thinking of a 1.3 for clear and base color and a 1.7mm for K-38 hi build primmer??? They say 1.9 but that seems alittle too big, what do you think? Good gun for $77? I really don't have $500 to spend on the real deal

I bet you'll be very happy with the gun's performance, I have a few knock offs in the shop allong with my Sata's and Devilbiss and they work just fine. You will notice most of these guns do wear out faster then the premium guns mostly because of the lower quality softer metals used. You may need the 1.9 tip for some of the heavy bodied primers, especially polyester type primers. I use 1.3 for both color and clear on my SATA.
