Default 1st spray paint gun?

I've been wanting to learn to spray paint for years. Now I have a real workshop I'd like to give-it-a-go! Can I get some insights on what to get for the Beginner?. As in everything good tools make the job easier and last longer. Thanks. Mikel-T

Go to your nearest Harbor Freight and look for Spray Gun #43430 or to http://www.stits.com . It's an HVLP conversion gun which means you can use your household compressor. We have sold hundreds of them and they work great. Just remember to clean it after every use, especially after spraying epoxy paints.

Chip is right (even though he left me high and dry on my yellow paint match [])
