Cheap touch-up gun

I bought this recently when I was in Wa. state on the way home. I haven't done much painting of any kind except with spray bombs. I paid about $13.00 for it, and the thing works just great.
I just finished a touch-up job on my wife's car, basecoat-clearcoat. It looks very nice. The body shop estimates were about $1600. That seemed too steep, so I did it.

those jam guns work great usually a smaller tip 1.0 compared to 1.4 on a regular gun seem to make the paint less orange peal like never tried the hf guns though looks like a nice job there happy wife happy life

It's a .8 tip, so yeah the paint doesn't blast all over. I would think that painting a frame would work well with one of these. Thanks for the approval.
