Default spray gun

hey everyone, im new here but not to the game, im on club civic alot but am just now finding out that there is a paint and body section on here! Ive been reading a **** load of info on paint and body on here and through other websites and am getting ready to paint my coupe pheonix yellow. Im in the market for a gun now, ive read that it is good to have a few different guns for base, clears, and primers. but im not sure if i will have the money for all that, i was thinking cleaning it well and just changing needles for each different thing i spray. I saw this gun on ebay:

i have read that DeVilbiss is a pretty good company, and i was just wondering if anyone has used or knows anything about this gun, and any quick tips you may have when choosing a gun or guns. thanks!

Devilbiss does make very good guns. Use the 1.8 tip for primer 1.3 for base coat (color), and even though it recommends the 1.3 for clear, I would use the 1.5 for clear. It will help the clear come out a little thicker and flow out nicer. Just be sure to keep the inside of the gun very clean between different materials.

devilbiss makes Very good guns, I've used several of them, very high quality and very affordable. Compare the price to a $500+ SATA guns http://toolexplosion.com/auto-body-t...FQKfnAodsQKtCg of course, Sata guns are the best of the best, and german built
