What gun did you buy, Steve?

On thinner, Dave gave good advice. Local here I got 5 gallons of automotive lacquer thinner (labeled cleaner) from my independent paint guy for $30. He has a small, local solvent guy that packages good stuff, and he passes on the savings. The box stores got more than $10/gallon, and theirs leaves a film on things.

My guns are new from summit, purchased last year on sale that are a two gun set made by Devilbliss, Frontline series. These guns I believe were also mentioned in Hot Rodder last year.
