I have been using the cheap guns from Harbor Freight with good results. The mid price range. I also use my older Devilbess GTI if I shoot clear coat. Recently received the 3M Accuspray System which I haven't used yet. Looking forward to using that.
Like any paint job, the prep work under your topcoat is the key to getting a nice finish. If you haven't painted before, practice on a scrap piece of material.
If I had to buy today I would check out the 3M Accuspray.
Have Fun!
