New tool in the arsenal -

Got a tip to share? Have a question about the hobby? Need input on parts or weapons? Have great idea for a custom figure or vehicle? Too lazy to do it, or just want to share the idea with others? All that and more goes in here.

i don't know about you folks, but if i'm doing a lot of spray painting or priming, after a few minutes my trigger finger starts to hurt, and cramp -

so, the other day at home depot, i bought a rustoleum spray paint gun -- it's basically just a handle with a trigger that fits over any spray can -- there's a trigger that pushes a lever down on the can's own nozzle, with a wide opening for the paint to come out, and therefore universal.

i know it makes me sound like an old fart, but i was priming up some parts today for the NJC and the last GP, and this thing worked like a charm, including when i tipped the can upside down to clear the nozzle.

$5. i highly recommend it. especially for multi-sprays and especially dio-dudes.

//do i really need to take a photo?

Having extensive experience with can guns and can kill4s, the extra money is worth it. :shifty:
The cheaper ones are softer plastic and eventually the wont hold tight on the cans any more, so ya pull the trigger, and the can pops off and hits the floor. I ended up having two different cans on two different occasions rupture on pavement and ruin my, ah, work in progress, not to mention my kicks and jeans.

I do a ton of spray painting. I may have to look into getting one of these. Also, I have found a neat way of holding parts when I spray. I need to take some pictures of it.
