I went there today. They don't have any good ones. They have a primer one and that's it. Any other place.

Best this I can suggest if you really are gonna do it yourself is grab a copy of this months sport compact car with Their Project Sti on the Cover. Read the cover story and you will be good to go.

I would recomend you be very carefull here. Theres nothing wrong with wanting to paint your car yourself, however there is a lot to consider. First of all...for all the equipment and material your going to need, you could spend over $1000.00. This wouldn't be so bad if you are painting more than one car. Also you must consider the enviroment. In my spray booth the fumes go through 6 filters before out into the atmosphere. Even though the paint available today has reduced the V.O.C's, the hardner's are killer. Unless your painting in a ventelated and controled area it's very difficult to make the paint perform for you. You need consistent temperature...ussually around 80 degrees f.

These are just a few things to consider. I would be happy to advise you and possibly sell-lend equipment you may not have.

But back to your original question. If this is a one time deal, any paint gun is good. The most important factor is the fluid tip. Depending on what type of paint your using determines the nozzle size. The more expensive guns are for professionals who use them atleast 10 times a day. Like I said, if your only going to paint this one vehicle, don't spend a lot of money. Send me an email, or call me..I do sell spray guns as well
