    When I was painting for a local body shop a few years ago, they had a pair of SATA guns; they're really nice - durable and consistent. If I was painting every day I'd have one, but for my occasional dabbling, the HF guns are OK.

    Where is Prairie City? I'm originally from Indiana - when it was Winter there I couldn't do much painting unless I had access to a heated garage (mine wasn't). Here in Florida, Winter is the best time to paint. The humidity (rain) is occasionally a problem in Summer because it can cause some paints to "blush", but rarely delays me more than a day or so.

    Jim, it's in Iowa. I face the same problems you spoke of. My garage is heated but I need to make a temporary booth set up so I can paint this winter. I have a friend that has a bigger space where I can paint this winter so that should help out. The humidity here is an issue in the spring and summer too. I've been burned by that a few times.
