Had to pick between a used Sherwin-Williams spray gun and a new cheap one last spring... still not sure I made the right call

I was at a shop closing down in Detroit and they had a old Binks spray gun for $50. The guy said it just needed a new needle and seal kit. But then I saw a brand new HF knockoff for $40 and figured why mess with old stuff. I grabbed the Binks because my dad always swore by them back in the 80s. Took me three tries to get the seal kit right but now it lays down paint like butter. Has anyone else found a hidden gem at a closing shop or did I just get lucky?

Wait, you're telling me the thing I thought was a Sherwin-Williams spray gun is actually just a regular old Binks? My dad would kill me for getting the brand wrong after all those stories he told. At least I got the seal kit right eventually, which is more than I can say for my attempt to fix the garage door last month.

Binks ain't a Sherwin-Williams gun though, that's a different brand entirely.
