not really sure to be honest think the one i use in my JGA is 1.4, i really want an all round gun as i paint base coat aswell as solid and dont really want to pay out for 2 guns its only for personal stuff not a business.

If your used to a 1.4 tip then i'd go with that. A GTI is ideal for what you need mate.

GTI Pro is generally a seperate gun for water base and a clear gun. Although i imagine that will be fine for solid and solvent basecoat too.

Personally i'd just go for a normal GTI.
