Oh and BTW, I am not saying a hobbiest needs to have a 500 dollar gun at all. That's not the argument here (wait lets not call it an argument ) what the whole point here is that you said you cant see why anyone would buy a 500 dollar gun and we are just telling you why someone would that's all.
Spraytech, I know what you mean about the price on materials too and most people dont understand why it costs over 6000 bucks to paint a car and then they want metal flake, pearl, etc and we tell them it costs more and they dont understand. It takes LOTS of materials to paint a vehicle and most of those materials you never see. Please don't mention K36.... PLEASE! It makes my hands hurt just thinking about it.
