    looks good to me.

    I bought the 3 piece vapor set for $119 several months ago and have been very unhappy with them even for $119. I have one gun that the trigger sticks on it and continues to leak air. The gun came like that and I havent fixed it yet. The only thing that works decent out of this kit is the mini gun I can use it if I am just painting a fender or bumper and get a good finish. Even if you are just starting out on a low budget I dont recommend getting this 3 piece Vapor set alot of paint supply stores sell them and they have a different name but they are the same crap. I would recommend buying one 1.4 Finishline 3 and a $13 dollar harbor freight for primer before you buy this junky kit.

    Amen bro! These kits fall by the way side fast. All you really need is one good 1.4 gun like the fl3 or the sharp finex. But $13 for a primer gun will save some cleaning.

  3. Thanks for the replies guys,I will stay away from the kit.thanks-Harvey

    The one you are showing is probably decent. $150 for two guns you should be able to do a decent job with. I just dont reccomend buying a knockoff kit. Lots of people have been buying these 100 dollar 3 gun knockoff kits and they are junk.

  5. OK thanks,I misunderstood you.Like I said I will probably buy a good gun from Len to do my base/clear but thought for 150.00 that kit was not bad,If it sprays decent I can do my trunk and door jams with it as well as the inside of doors and trunk lid.I have never used a gravity feed gun so this will be a new experience for me.thanks-Harvey

    a 1.8 tip will barely spray a good primer surfacer. No way will it spray a poly primer. The 1.3 is ok for sealer and etch primer, or other single stage paints where finish isnt absolutely a must be perfect. Thats what I use mine for.
