keep something else in mind though, prep work is about 90% of paint work, then the rest is buffing and polishing.....if the prep is not good, no matter how good your gun technique it won't cover up the prep and you can help out a mediocre paint job with some good buffing and polishing...and no matter how expensive the gun is it won't compensate fro poor technique
