IWATA eclipse
it's the work horse of the custom paint world
its also like 150 bucks,, the VL can be had for half that,, and is for the intents and purposes asked about, certainly viable,,
the Iwata is a great brush, I have both,, I grab my Iwata mostly,, granted my Iwata is a bit further up the pay grade,, but My VL gets used whenever I want to spray areas as opposed to small lines,, or for tshirts,,
I still stand by the best answer for the OP question is the VL,, I cannot in good faith recomend the Harbor Fright gun,, they are just to inconsistant
