Compleatly agree with ratty leave base coat well alone depending on the conditions your spraying the base coat you might want to very lightly use a tach cloth once the base is dry but all depends how OCD you are

And I have only ever used devilbiss guns , but I here good things about sata guns but can't say I have ever used one you might want to look for a used one as there all expensive new

I use Inest Iwata.
3 x LPH80 various caps etc for waterbase 1k primers and basecoats and lacquer for wheels and smaller smart repairs.
2 x w300 both 1.3 but one for fade out thinner only and the other for waterbase only with the waterbase cap.
Ws400hd 1.3 for clear coat
Az3 hte2 1.8 for 2k primer.

I only use ppg waterbase for basecoat.

I will invest in a better one for the winter repaint though.
