Sorry for the rubish quality

Hard to say without some info or a better picture.

Get a name off it and model number if there is one.

thats normally used for painting large things, lorries for example. bit over kill really unless you ar efamiliar with how it works.

What Rozzer said is spot on. They're for commercials really, it has a big separate pot so you can get more paint in at a time. Not suited for cars unless you get a very small fluid setup and practice with it. they tend to throw the paint on very thickly, which causes bad orange peel or runs! Oh and it's a Devilbiss JGA.

Depends what you want to do with it. A 1.8 is only really suitable for primer. For general basecoat, lacquer and solid gloss, you would be best off with a 1.4 setup.

Any bodyshop supplier, or try ebay. You won't just need the needle, you need a whole new fluid setup which consists of the needle, fluid tip and air cap.
