Whatever brand you plan on getting, it should be a gravity feed. Like Sammy is showing. I picked up a nice one at Lowes for around $100, and it had an air gage at the gun inlet. (very important) It does a real nice job. I threw my siphon feed gun away.

The cheap Walmart stuff can give you grief when you go to spray your clear coat, and or the sanding surfacer.

I buy PPG paint. (Omni brand) It's an excellent urathane paint, and won't cost you $250/gallon either. I paid $20 for a quart of single stage paint a couple of weeks ago, harder not included. They have paint instruction sheets for each product, giving mixing directions, dry times between coats, paint gun pressures, and what can be used with them. Also these sheets have prep instructions also.

With single stage paint you use finishing paint with a hardener, and two stage you use a base coat and clear coat over the top. Both types need epoxy primer first. You get a lot more professional job with clear coat and is alot easier to control, because you can touch up the base coat without doing a wet coat over the whole thing, and you can sand sags and other imperfections out of clearcoat and buff the clear.
