I just picked up this spraygun from a local pawn shop for cheap. I'm super chaffed with the find... Now I must just learn to use it.

Do you know what brand is? And how much was it - if I may ask?
I'm anticipating on a Harder & Steenbeck but that'll take a lot of budget.
But once the RC voice starts whispering...

It's made by a company called AirCraft. I paid R200 about 20 Euros for it brand new still sealed, and I've just found this website:

And this is the one:

R630 about 63 Euros, what a bargain...

Can't miss for that price.

Woa, careful - there was a pile of chinese copies/liquidated stock etc of these turned up on Ebay last year, mostly marked "Frauline" mostly advertised for applying nail varnish, fake tan etc, but also marketted under "Silverline", "Hilka", "Nutool", "Sealey", "Blacksmith" etc. Not gonna slate them cos I bought one out of interest & they're actually quite good (The Chinese being fantastic at copying stuff). I paid 11GBP for mine, & it came with a proper hose & air filter/regulator unit. The "Real" version spares are directly compatible with it too. My only gripe I've had with it was it was supplied with a 0.2mm nozzle, which is ok for plain paint, but quickly blocks with flakes & metallics. The trick has also been to over-thin (1:10 vs 1:3) the paint for easier/more consistent application, & use of "High gloss" (Slow dry) thinners helps too. If I wasn't such a skinflint, I should buy a bigger nozzle for it really

Just had a quick look & couldn't find yours (Although I saw the same version when looking to buy mine) or mine, but this is a "for instance"

I located info on mine on a local site. Don't know anything about it though, I use my Dad's Badger from the 80's. So if you know of, or have any instructions for this type of spraygun, please mail it to me.

Incredible how they can make it for that price...

My gun is solid and heavy, compared to the plastic gun I bought for primer work. It weighs around 200 grams. It seems quite heavy for a gun.

I'll have to try and find the (Dutch) comment again but if I remember well, the Chinese copies are actually based on the previous generation of H&S airbrushes... at least the ones that Conrad sells.
'Aircraft' totally sounds like a brand from them...
