best guns u can get in my opinion is a DeVilbiss GTi gun which is just a very easy gun to use and simple, they are about £230

I just use a small compressor and a cheaper 30quid gun.

At the end of the day, it's never gonna be perfect from the gun. I just prep well, mix the celly like piss, spray lots of coats and flat it back.


Did the tailgate on my old nove and it wasn't bad for a first go!

Yeah i dont fancy giving myself toxic poisoning whilst spraying it in my garage.

Breathing thinners. Makes the cold garage so much more enjoyable.

Clarke HVLP gravity fed gun

^^^ That's my setup, gave me this straight from the gun with Celli (trick is to use premium thinners not standard, as it takes a bit longer to harden, so flows better)

Get the biggest compressor you can afford, then get a colector of the same size to double the ammount of air you have...

We were using a 100 litre compressor to paint up S1MON's car a few weeks back and that was still struggling to do the job...
