What's unfortunate in this day and age is that paint and its technologies cost a lot on everything and to skimp on just ONE thing could deprive you of the finish you seek. I've been watching the recent trizact thread and smiling as the you tube guys are at it again with 1 sheet for a car. The bottom line is this...you can't get a first class finish by skimping on any step or any equipment...skimp and you will always wonder if the blemishes you have could have been avoided...Even with the best of everything and the best of circumstances, you might be disappointed. My advice is to buy only good materials and equipment (maybe used would be better than cheap new) and only move forward on the project as the budget will allow following that line of thinking. It gives you the best possibility of acceptable outcome.....Dave

Something else to keep in mind here...a "good" gun can often be had for cheap from ebay, craigslist, ect. I just bought a used sata 4000rp for $250. Also, keep in mind...a painter with 30 yrs experience can take a cheap gun and produce excellent results...but people like me NEED a good gun just to get decent results LOL! One more thing...with a good gun (sata, iwata, ect...) that is in good shape and maintained...you can expect identical results everytime...i have noticed that the cheaper guns do not always do that. Is it possible to use a cheap gun and produce show car paint jobs?? Absolutely, but the money you saved will often cost you in the form of ever changing variables. Just my experience.
