    Hey guys. I hope you can help me out. I'm looking for a good and slightly inexpensive touch-up gun. I have looked alot of places and can't find what I want. I don't even know if anybody makes what I want.

    What I am looking for is a siphon feed with a pistol type trigger with an aluminum cup.

    All the ones I have found are either gravity fed with pistol trigger, or siphon with a finger trigger on top. I hope someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks

    Try Harbor Freight, they sell a small 4oz. gun for about $10.00. I needed one for a quick
    job a year ago and have used it 50 or more times,it's more than paid for it's self.
    You just need to keep it clean and they work really well.

    Sorry,I missed the siphon feed part,the one I've got is a gravity feed.

    Thanks for the reply. I just looked at Harbor Freight and they didn't have quite what I was looking for.

    I have a Binks 115 syphon. Not a pistol grip and it won't be cheap. Very nice gun.

    Thanks again for the replies. But I'm really hoping for the syphon type with the pistol trigger.

    Read your post wrong ,I thought your were looking for a gravity fed gun,The cambell housefeild gun has the trigger on top ,Its a great gun and cheap you will get use to the trigger on top ,I painted my whole rear differential with it and backing plates ,For under 40 bucks ,you cant beat it.............

    I used to use a Sharpe touch-up gun way back in the day.
    It was great, wish I still had it.

    Well I think I may have to. I only found one of the style that I wanted. It was $329.99! Alittle more than what I wanted to spend.

    I've painted for over 50 years, a cheapie will do the job. Actually my best clear coat gun was a $39.95 binks # 7 clone. I used that gun for 25 years until I retired. If there is nothing physically wrong with a paint gun,even acheap one, adjust it til it suits your style and keep it clean,clean, clean.....

    Well I guess I'll just have to go buy the one at Napa and just try to get used to the trigger on top. Thanks for all the replies.
