Help in Melbourne: Air Tool

Hi,
I'm in the process of respraying my car, and have found that the only gun I've got access to is to fine to apply my high-fill primer.
The cheapest gun I can find at retail is around $150 and I can't justify buying it because I'll never use it again.
Is there ANYONE out there who can lend me a putty gun for a weekend? I'd be happy to collect and return the gun to your home or work and pay you for your trouble in $$ or hard labour.
Thanks in advance!

Kennards and similar won't hire a putty gun, only a finishing gun, which I have. Dunno why, maybe tehy're too difficult to service/maintain or not enough demand.
Thanks for the reply.

SSI - go to supercheap fella. If you can't get one there get a cheaper one and modify it to suit!!!
|
No go at Supercheap either. Largest they've got is 1.8mm.
Modify it??

I'm pretty sure that'd do the job, as at the moment I'm spraying the stuff through a finishing gun at a >2:1 filler/thinner ratio.
If nothing else, your gun would be a definate improvement. If you could set me up with a product name/part number I'd love you for ever, as most tool places here want more than $150 for a gun I'll only ever use once.
