I agree with Cape Codder on the thought that your going to need to cut and buff no matter what. I still prefer a gun thats used exclusively for clear.
With the cost of materials these days, especially solvents used to clean a gun the price of a Harbor Freight gun is a bargain. Regardless of your budget, using the same gun to shoot color and clear will eventually bite you. No matter how well you think a gun has been cleaned, theres always a bit of color hiding somewhere.
