(quoted from post at 00:39:14 03/03/19) Okay I've taken your advice and mulled over it. Bein that i need to do an this lawn mower, another lawn mower and eventually an Allis B I think its time to invest in a paint gun and start learnin how to paint.
I don't wanna spend a ton of money but I've linked some items that I'm very interested in but before I order wanted thoughts. Even though I don't want to spend a bunch of money i want to have good equipment because even though I'm a beginner i want to learn technique not have to worry about my equipment not workin. I am going to attempt to sandblast that tomorow but some unexpected house work came up and I didn't get to it today. Whenever I do I will post a few pics. Again, thanks for everyone's help.

Not a fan of the harbor freight spray gun advice here unless you are using them as throwaway primer shooters. They simply do not compare, and don't let anyone convince you that they do. Yes, they work and are super cheap. I'd recommend looking at the devilbiss flg5 or the finishline 4 setup since you seem willing to spend a bit.
Eastwood is easy to use because they have full lineups of basically every product start to finish. They tend to be a bit high on prices for tools in my experience though. You also can't get custom mixed colors from them that I'm aware of. "Custom" in this case being things like JD greens that they do not carry.
Make sure you budget for some way to keep the air circulating, the correct safety gear, and have an air compressor that can keep up. For a lawnmower size project you can get by with a little garage 30 galloper but that isn't going to cut it if you want big batches of tractor parts getting squirted at a time.
Nason is not a PPG product and never was. If you have a oreilly close a lot of them actually job nason. Also NAPA has criossfire/ Martin senior. I don't like buying paint from auto parts stores simply because the guy behind the counter usually knows NOTHING about the products.
