Paint Gun Recomendation

Does anyone know of a recomended pait gun? I am looking at getting a pait gun for painting a project car. I was wondering if anyone knew of someone in body shop that could recomend a good gun. I want something that will really work and get professional results.

Snap-on BF700 Gravity Feed, as long as you have a general idea of how to spray you'll be all set, I've had lot's of success with that gun, and it works good with metal flake too, I used it to paint my Peterbilt tractor and had no problems at all with it. Good Luck with the paint job

Sata, Devilbiss, Binks and Sharp are all names I have used and had great results with all of them, Prices would start at around 150 and go to around 500. Make sure you have a good system for pulling the water and oil out of the air, or it wont matter what gun you use.

yea deffinatly make sure you use a water seperator with your compressor, or at least make sure you frequently drain the water from the compressor tank
