Any suggestions on a good gun between $100 & $200?

Good/great gun for 100-200... no.
Decent color/clear would prob be a Finex Compliant (Non HVLP) 1.4 tip.

For Priming consider the HVLP 1.8.

These are cheaper guns but better than harbor Freight IMO.
I prefer Sata and Devilbiss.
I do have a mini Finex 1000 1.0 and it does small blends fine.
Just keep the guns clean and don't soak the air caps on the finex guns but just a few seconds in laquer thinner.

Why not soak the caps? Is there a gasket or something that is affected by laquer thinner?

On my Satas and Finex there is a gasket in the cap assy.
I don't like leaving any soft parts (not metal) in cleaner very long.
The aircaps on my Satas and Finex get cleaned first. They won't sit in the solvent cup over a minute tops. No real need to sit longer anyway.
I clean all of my guns immediately after use so it doesn't take 5 minutes to completely tear it down (minus the air valve and fan assy), clean, and reassemble.
