Hi,

I've been wanting to paint my car for a while and keep debating between the $50 and just sucking it up and buying every thing I need to do it right. The only thing that is keeping me from going out and buying a 10 CFM compressor, guns, and compressor is $$$$$. I just can spend $400 on an air compressor that I'm going to use 3 or 4 times (max out put). I recently discovered LVLP paint guns that can use as little as 3cfm. Are there any reasonable LVLP guns out there that only need ~5cfm. I dont want to spend more than $120 on a gun.

In addition I found this LVLP for CHEAP! but it probably shoot like ****. Any advice?

My only advice is to get a good HVLP gun for clear coat. For base coat and primer you don't need a super expensive gun, but you do want a good gun for your clear. I have a SATA Jet 2000 RP Digital gun for my clear coat, it's awesome, but it'll run you like $500. I'm in the same boat you are with a compressor, I used to do body work and paint in a shop, now I'm in the office writing estimates...needless to say I want to paint real bad, and need a compressor

Kinda drives you nuts doesn't it lol! It's not bad, I like writing estimates, but damn do I wanna paint something...

 

I guess I wasn't clear in my first post. I'm looking for cheap, good, spray guns that can be used with a 6 cfm compressor.

I also found this Titan "low air" HVLP. It only uses 4-7 cfm.
