20 oz gravity feed (seems kinda small, $32)

pressure pot (2 quarts! $35)

This would be for painting a 914. I have a couple regular spray guns, which I would use for primer and for shooting paint deep under the fenders. I'd like to use an HVLP to do the overall exterior. I'll be painting it on a rotisserie if that matters.

Go ahead and tell me to buy a $250 "real" spray gun... it won't work. I'm in full CSOB "git 'er done" mode now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I actually bought a cheap HPLV gun at Home Depot (Husky) and it worked great. Granted I only used it for the interior of my engine bay, but it looks great to me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Those HPLV guns are awsome, not near the amount of overspray that I was expecting. Easy cleanup.
