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

DeVilbiss do a Twin pack on EBay for £99
fantastic Value and really good gun, plus you get a Smaller gun for small repairs/areas

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!

Should be using 2k nowadays. Gives a way better finish, although also gives bad illness! lol

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...
