Bought the cheap paint gun from Harbor Freight, shocked it worked

Picked up the $85 purple spray gun at the Atlanta store two weeks ago because my DeVilbiss was down. Ran three fenders and a door with it, laid down the base coat fine, but the clear coat orange-peeled like crazy. I'm not saying it's trash, but I'd spend the extra $150 for the Turbine gun if you're doing customer work. Anyone else gamble on budget guns and regret it or get lucky?

The orange peel on clear is a dead giveaway it's a gambler's tool. Lucky it didn't trash your whole paint job, honestly.
