If you put a "WalMart Special" $9.95 Harbor Freight gun in their hands at that shop you mention I would venture a guess it would be bounced off the wall, or worse, in the first day. Could they paint with it? Sure it will spray paint but nothing like the guns you mention, and like Dave said, you'll have to find what each particular gun wants for pressure, volume, etc and it may not be consistent. Like Don said, he painted a lot with a cheapie HF gun, but noticed a big difference when he went to a ~$100-$150 gun setup to paint their top coats. Paint is too expensive to waste, IMO.

well and like i said it takes time to lean to paint some guy that paints only 10 or 20 cars is not a pro so the best gun may not help much if you do not know what the hell to do and that takes seat time,i seen knock offs of guns listed . like i said binks 7 that i know a guy that paints with and he can make it work buy a $10.00 gun your a fool i think the cheap 7 is $50
