Where do I get a paint gun for hi-build poly??

I'm getting close to finishing all the body work I want to do and was doing a little thinking ahead.  Next step will be hi-build polyester primer and blocking.  So I started shopping around for a gun with at least a 2.2 tip.  After reading some threads on here, that looks like the minimum size.  Well, couldn't find any on autobody toolmart.   Google just throws up everything in the world with 2.2 or 2.5 in it.  Anybody know where to get a decent one at reasonable cost??

Still looking around.  I can find some 2.0MM guns and the 2.5mm guns all say "for use with metal flake".  Ok, so maybe 2.5mm is too big for primer.   I may end up stuck with the 2.0MM size.

Here is what my shop uses.  Love these guns for primer, and high build poly.  You can get 2.0 tips, pressurized cup system, and super easy cleanup.

You've never heard of a Hudson hornet ? !

I just bought the cheapest 2.0 tip gun I could find on Ebay for poly primer. Stuff is thick... I thinned it down 10% to help it flow better. If I buy a new 'poly' gun, I may get a 2.2 or maybe even a 2.5

Here's another one: http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200319459_200319459 

I like that one, looks a little bigger nozzle (2.3) and the price is right.  I have a Northern store near me.   I may just run over and get one.  Thanks Pete.
