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 have a devilbis finish line 3 (FL3). Was < $100. Gravity feed, aluminum cup. Its FAR better than the harbor freight & sears guns I've used. I've done my 911, 4 E30 racecars, one E36, and dyed/laquered my kitchen cabinets. I'll be doing the 914 w/ it when the time comes. The baggie kit that goes inside is cheap and a *MUST* for painting cars. Allows you to hold the gun upside down to do rockers and wheel archs. Also makes cleanup a <5min process. I cant believe someone didn't think of it years ago.
