I don't think it's that old. Well, the story behind that, my daughter and BF at the time gave it to me for my birthday 7 or 8 years ago. She went out in the garage and took a picture of my old ratty looking gun with paint all over it. Then took the picture up to the store and told the guy she wanted a new one like this lol. But yea, haven't had the opportunity to use it yet.

Yea , that's all you need. When I was looking/researching guns, the kit I was contemplating was from Devilbiss, a 3 gun kit. I ended up loosing interest, my oldy was good enough.I was use to it.

I still have an old Devilbiss pot gun and a Binks special edition red anodized promotional gun. My buddy rep'd Binks, so I ended up with his special edition one. Used the hell out of it for about 5 years, then put it up and quit painting and doing body work on the side. If I remember correctly, there are 4 different spray tips in the pot still for different patterns. It was a nice unit and sprayed such a smooth layer. No orange peel. (guess it can't be used on an old Ford or GM right?)

Those old guns are nice, some real nice. My old one came from Uncle who painted and air brushed murals....he had that artistic gift. Anyway he gave me his old Iwata. As old as that thing is I can still get parts for it and Iduno, it always works.

I have an old gun my FIL gave me, but I don't know that's it's fit for painting a car. Can't recall the brand though - I'll have to look.

LMAO... laughing with you, Brew. Not at you. We've all been there.

Just went to put the O2's in my truck, and the set I have are for the fronts, apparently, not rears. Great....

Also, the patch panel from LMR isn't nearly what I need it to be. Sooo.. either I piece it together with what I got from Cody, or I send it back. I hate paying 65 dollars to just use the wheel well piece, but it could be a huge time saver.
