Husky. At least if the craftsman’s were made after 2008. My set of craftsman’s I got in 2004, have held up very well. The ones I got after my surgery in 2008, junk. Sockets crack or strip, wrenches have a ton of deflection.
I bought husky’s a couple years back, their sockets are really good. Not as impressed with their 3/8 ratchets, the 1/2 inch and 1/4 inch drive ones seem just fine but the 3/8/ wear out fast. But they warranty then no questions asked with ease. their wrench’s don’t deflect and stay true.
So I’d go husky

I’m not sure you can call most auto store people either of those anymore. They don’t know parts and don’t handle much cash. More like computer operator
what color flake? Binks #7 is a good all around gun. Love mine.
I'm not a body man but I did sell guns to many guys that were. I got to where I wouldn't take one in on trade because they were worn out. Most used guns are well used and aren't good for much more than primer. (depending the air cap and needle size) Depending on how professional you want to get, you would be better off getting a Harbor Freight or Eastwood gun for low buck. All the big brand names are going to be quite spendy.
Wagon for @Unconventional
Did H.F. but I know nothin' from nothin' My brother uses one from there to do fixes on the cars he flips. Chipped up hoods and valances mostly
THey work fine for repairs and beginner jobs. Expensive and sophisticated paint guns won't make a newbie a professional.
Best if a newbie paints his car one piece at a time and stay away from tri coat colors till he gets good at laying down paint.
Just my 2 cents worth.
No Sir just clearing out parts from NJ and bringing them home
The guys on here were a great resource for me to pick primer and paint product. Not super happy with the clear in the engine bay but I'm worried if I try to "fix" it, I'll end up with a disaster.
Is this too much weight and unsafe for a 4 hour trip back home, serious question
Just filling the truck, or did you haul a trailer up?
Just the truck still the rental
How light are the front wheels on the ground?
I drove around the block obviously a lot of weight on the back
That's a lot of weight. Air up your tires a bit and keep an eye on them. I'd pull over at a station or truck stop every hour to give it a break. Rear axle bearings can be an issue when overloaded.
+1 to Mike's comment.
Thinking through the route and, as I recall it's pretty flat most of the way so brake heat shouldn't be an issue
Straight turnpike all the way to Mcconnellsburg, PA

Safe trip Scott .
Just drive up the steep grades backwards. You should be fine.
You can sand the clear with some fine sandpaper and buff it out Chris.
