Well Dave , thanks for the Kuddos , I think the Iwata'a are the cats meow , have 5 of them and use them all day long for 4-5 years now with no problems .
They are more for production painters , but will make a beginner better then using a cheaper gun .
But if your only going to do a project once and never use it again , I would not invest in a $400 gun .
I have used about every gun on the market and still have most of them gathering dust in my garage .

But an HVLP would be the choice of a gun , is because of the transfer ( more goes on the car instead of in the air ) . But make sure your compressor can handle a paint gun as they suck alot of cfm .
