    i agree with 95droppedhatch. High end guns and low end guns will spray the same (considering you have the same fluid tip) as long as you know how to set it up and keep it clean. If you paint often, buy a high end gun (like a devilbiss, sata, or iwata). They will last unlike the low end ones. I have a devilbiss and love it. Works great and hve not had a problem with it. I have been using it for a year and it's held up great. And it was fairly cheap (around $250). I have used a sata and it was great too, but it costs a bit more money. I use iwata's at school and i have a iwata airbrush. They work great. The main thing is keeping it clean.

    Whats your price range? I may be able to help you out.

    A price range on a gun? Well since this would be my first one, I would say somewhere around maybe like $100? I dunno if that would get me anything good or what...what would you recommend?

    you could go for a sharpe brand gun. they are in the middle of cheap and high but a decent gun.

    i got a sharpe as my second gun i bought. It was decent. Bought it new for just under $100. Still use it as my primer gun today.

    for around $100 you may want to look at the devilbiss finshline guns.

    check out this link. I love this site because they have everything there. It's like 10 sites in 1.

    http://www.tcpglobal.com/spraygundepot/devgate.aspx

    for a base/clear gun,get a 1.3 or 1.4 tip. for a primer gun, get a 1.8 tip.

    i would suggest the finishline 3 with the 1.3 tip for your base/clear gun. I have never used a finishline3 gun but i have heard they are good for the money.

    but if you need a primer gun, the startline kit may be the way to go. I think those are fairly new so i havent heard anything about them yet.
