Desperate. Not sure what’s up. So I bought a Spectra HVLP from harbor freight. 150$. Added a regulator at the gun. Bought the two year warranty from HF (30$). Spraying nitro. I have never had a gun that sprayed as well as this one. Never. Easy wet coat, minimal overspray. No drips or runs. Builds fast. Even if it lasts only a year, 30$ replacement fee is worth it. I am stunned. I may go back and buy the Black Widow HTE (Spectra) for 249$. Anybody else tried this these guns?

I've got both Black Widows. Used the HTV for Endurovar 1, HVLP for nitro. So far so good.
