I used to spray chroma base with a Devilbiss starting line that I found buried in a shop I use to work at. It served its purpose for about 6 months until I made the plunge into the Teknas. Half my truck was sprayed with it, and after 4 years it still looks great. At the end of the day, it was a pretty cheap gun, not any better than something from Princess Auto (or Harbour Freight for you Americans)… I am sure it wouldn’t have lasted all this time, and I can only guess how it would have handled Sikkens and Sherwin Williams waterbourne. But for the low volume use (less than 15 jobs/week) with the Chromabase it really did leave finish as good as any other gun.
Now my 4000RP and my Teknas are far Superior, but the customers with these vehicles (nor anyone else for that matter) would ever be able to guess what gun was used to paint a job.
