Dropped $400 on a fancy paint gun and it underperformed my old $80 special
Bought a high-end Iwata spray gun thinking it'd level up my clear coat jobs, but the finish came out worse than my beat-up backup from Harbor Freight. Anyone else find that expensive gear doesn't always mean better results in this trade?

Wait, isn't the whole point of spending more supposed to be better results? I used to think you had to drop big money to get a pro finish, but then I borrowed a buddy's old $60 gun and outshot my $500 setup. It really messed with my head for a while, but now I realize it's more about how well you tune the thing and how clean you keep it, not the price tag. Sometimes the expensive gear is just overengineered and harder to dial in for the kind of work we actually do.
