well once im done with my fiberglass box im gunna need to paint it, i need a few suggestions on what kinda gun to get. I already have an 80 gal air compressor. I just need a cheap gun that will work for maby a few boxes and some other projects. Doesnt need anything special. I was looking on ebay and there are decent looking ones for about $20.

Well, from what I hear, is a decent HVLP Gravity Feed gun would be the way to go. as far as brand, I'm not too sure ?

get the best you can afford, if you are a beginner at painting then use a suction feed gun, they have an easier spray pattern, if you know what your doin then id go for a gravity feed gun. your not gonna get much for 20 bucks though.

i wouldn't trust a gun like that for 20 bucks... idk, , my local body suply shop says a decent 70 -80 dollor gun is good for beginers,, (i don't know personaly but i have been looking into it too) call your local house of kolour dealer or whoever deals paint / body products localy, they'll know what they are talking about ------------- Bad Boys Customs
