Thank you, finally a constructive comment! I am about to say F this thread with all the stupid ass gun comments by people that haven't even researched it. How can you say the gun is crap when you have zero knowledge of it? It IS a Devilbiss gun without the name on it. Some people actually got the gun with the name ground off.

Code is 805k and Welle said there are no variations on that one. That is why I decided to go with the PPG value line instead of the premium. The value line does not offer variations, but the premium does.

I have done a little body work before, but have always sprayed from a can (custom mixed PPG cans at Welle) and it actually looked as good as the factory paint just out of a can! I find that prep work is 90% of the paint job. This will be my biggest job by far, so I am sure there will be a bit of a learning curve there. My biggest concern is probably avoiding fish eyes and orange peel. It seems like cleaning is the big key there. Any insight or tips are appreciated!
