Quite well I would say... :mrgreen: but sinse it the ONLY silvering gun in nicaragua I can't compare it to the real deals... :lol: I now I have to clean them well and that they don't last too long but they do their job well and their price can't be beaten, except for the hand held hand sprayers... :wink:
