I have searched for this but had no luck!

I have come across a nice project which seems to be structuraly fine and i will be in the possition to pain very soon. i think that roller painting is going to be given a miss because i will be doing the interior aswell and i dont think the load bay and similar aread would be to easy to do with a roller. I think carns were out of the question straight away so i think this only leaves me with a spray gun. How much am i looking at for a decent spray gun and where should i be looking? I have decided on a colour so thats not a problem i and i also know what coats to apply how to wet and dry them and what cutting paste to use so i am all dandy on that front. i am just after some advice on where to get one and how much it will be setting me back.

Thanks guys, Tomm

buy the best you can afford, after all, if you are saving hundreds by doing the job yourself, you can buy a nice gun, and it'l last a lifetime and if you'r good, you may get work out of mates doing their cars! look in yellow pages or on internet under paint suppliers, they'l advise you.

to do a proper job i belive you'll neen a 14cfm compresser with a 150/200lt tank £250+ second hand £350+ new youll be able to use most air tools with that anything less and youll have to keep waiting for pressure
