I'm not familiar with a Wagner, but as long as you had the right tip, why not ? Yea , there's probably all kinds of wrong with that statement lol.

Usually they buy an old POS vacant building, but this was a ground up build for this store.
I haven't been to HF in years. I had some gift cards from Christmas that I hung onto for quite awhile. Went to use them one day and they refused them....said they were too old. That cheesed me off a bit.

1500 and 2000. I had a couple drips off of the can that I went heavier on until it was flush. Yeah... won't be using the can for the whole car. Way too big of a hassle.

This is what mine looks like, but I have two sprayers that came with mine. I can already envision that hose rubbing on the paint. It also spits paints even at idle. It's a nice sprayer, but it's limited.... I had to thin out my basement paint so much to get it to spray that I switched to a roller because it was faster. It's hit and miss... kind of a finicky little buggar.

I suspect this one might work, but at this price point, I could get a really nice gun to use with my compressor.

What are your thoughts on this kit?

EDIT: Apparently HD doesn't want me to put links up anymore? WTH?

EDIT 2: Same setup.... just on Amazon:

I have a new husky that I used on my Fusion to redo a fender ding. I love the ease of this gun. I got the pretty black one. I wanted the purple but it was gone then. lol

No it's just a regular black handle Husky. I bought it new off eBay at an auction. I bought it for 9.90 plus 13.00 frt. Was brand new. I wanted the purple one at HD but it was sold out and there were none online at the time, so black it was. I love the fact that Amazon has sets of 3 sized cups for under 20 for it too. 200ml, 400ml and 600ml cups for 18-something with Prime. Hard to beat that deal. And metal basses, not plastic. No leaks that way.

Ditto, I have the same gun, same color. Haven't used that one yet tho. It's stuffed away in the case it came it. Came with a cleaning kit.
