Re: Painting..

I picked up a gravity feed gun at Harbor Freight Tools. It worked fine for me. I shot 3 different primers, base and clear.

they have videos and books about painting great place to get every thing you need there

i would personaly stop at a paint shop (paint supplier) if i was you and talk to them there about what guns to use i have noticed diffrent companys have diffrent recomandations on what types of guns to use becuase there are several diffrent designs and also what tips to use so you might want to pick a brand of paint you want to work with and then a gun . you can also check out paint supplies at the above link East wood sells great products
