    Thoughts on a Princess Auto HVLP gun?

    I have that same gun in my box, it works all right consumes a lot of air for an HVLP, good cheap starter gun to get you used to spraying with a gun.

    how do you find the jack works on cars/vans? My truck would work fine on it, also how do you find moving it around to use it to jack up the front and back of a vehicle? I am thinking I may pick it up just not sure how much use I will get out of it, if it will only work on the trucks.
