If this is your first time, a $49 gun from Harbour Freight will work as well as any $200 gun you can get. Don't forget the masks you will need...

Do yourselves a big favor: take as much trim off as you can, do all the prep yourselves, and take it to someone with a paint booth.

Nice, but 13cfm at 23psi? Can your compressor supply this much air?

If not i guess that'd be a good excuse to upgrade to a larger air compressor huh! Harbor Freight, Cummins Tools, Puma, and Lowe's all have some decent high psi, cast-iron, oiled compressors for decent prices.

Can't beat Devilbis. Ask around the local body shops. I got mine from a guy that just bought a new top of the line and didn't have room in the cabinet anymore.
