It's my first AB so I appreciate the insight. Since I like metallics and Pearl-ex it probably is good I have this one. We have a chain of stores up here called A.C.Moore and they have a good selection of guns. My wife almost got me the Vega 2000. If all works out I probably will eventually get into a more detail oriented gun but for now I am in diapers with it and scale patterns are cool and all but a lot of my fav plugs don't have 'em anyway. I want to get into layering and fogging with the Metallics and Pearl-ex pigments. I have tried Lumiere mixed colors like thier gold/olive and I like it and the devcon doesn't have a problem with it. It's a good utilitarian AB. Thanks for your info though Tony it's a great help when one like myself is just getting off the ground with this new aspect of painting, Flap.
