Sharpe Cobalt VS Finishline II

[Kyle]

I need a cheap/good gun that I plan on using for primer, and maybe clearcoat. I hear lots of love for the Finishline here, but I haven't heard much about the Sharpe. Prices are similar, who can convince me one way or the other?

I don't know about convincing, but I use a sharpe cobalt 1.8 for primer and I love it. I have a devilbiss gti for other stuff and I love it too, but I never used a finishline. So I guess I'm just saying that the sharpe is a good quality gun. You can get the sharpe in varying size needle/cap sizes so it will work for any paint type.

Does the Sharpe have a metal nozzle, or is it plastic?

All metal. It's a very nice gun. The only drawback to it, is during cleaning, you've got to remember which way the plastic gasket ring goes in between the nozzle and the gun. If you put it in the wrong way you'll get a weird choppy air stream. But other than that, I love that cobalt gun. It was only $113 and it works great!

Thanks! Looks like I'll be trying a Sharpe since the Finishline has some plastic internals.
