Touchup Paint Gun Recommendation?

[hobby_guy]

I have been using chinese touch-up guns for years and years. I noticed recently that there is a new design that has come out that has the cup on top of the spraying part of the gun instead of on the bottom. I am tired of overspray in the hangar and I am hoping the new style guns will cut down on this. I am also tired of the cheapo $30 guns, so I want to spend at least $100 to $200. Typical use is spraying two-part epoxy primer on aircraft aluminum parts. I believe the nozzle on my current chinese gun is 1.0 or 1.2 mm. Finally - are these new style guns easier to clean? The only thing that cleans the epoxy primer on the old style guns is MEK.

Sharpe Finnex FX3000 or Devilbiss Finishline FLG-4 or even the Harbor Freight Spectrum & Black Widow. Check those out.

Ive got a few Devilbiss Starting Line guns and so far theyve been great. I have two detail guns that I use for interiors. Great for the money.

I have this one, https://www.tptools.com/Economy-HVLP-Touch-Up-Gun,2273.html?b=d*12883 and my only complaint is the fan control knob is really free and I always bump it while spraying. It’ll lay paint down just as good as my Sata’s do.

For a full size gun the best deal around is the DeVilbiss FLG-5 For just a little bit more the DeVilbiss GPi is pretty dang nice. In a mini gun the DeVilbiss SRi Pro is my goto. Modern gravity spray guns are indeed a whole lot easier to clean. Even easier if you use 3M PPS cups. Those cups are the best thing since sliced bread.
