Default Paint Guns

ok, TIGHT situation for me, my progress on gettin my car, Me doin Painting in Auto Body and me having not so much cash,

as some of you know im gettin a Jeep liberty as a hand me down (first car GIVEN to me, i bought my monty off my dad for 500) my mom is the title holder and says shell sign it over to me (with her you never know) and i originally PLAN on trading it in for a 1.8t or trading with some one for thier audi (hopefully real soon) and my Auto body class of 20 had 4 paint guns, now we have 2 and we are doin alot of painting, pls i only have 800 in cash, so what im wonder is what paint gun is good reliable, WONT corrode or disintegrate over time because of paint thinner/stripper

so far i herd so many good things about Devilbiss

I'm no sure how many of us here do our own paint jobs, I remember one guy that used to be on here and shows up every so often "BadluckAudi" I think, that I think does his own paint but I don't know anyone else that actually does there own paint so I think you might need to find a new forum for this question and then come right back home.

i do some cutom stuff here and there i have could not afford the Devilbiss either so i bought the sharpe(i will get the model #later)
i have been using it for about 2 1/2 years never had a single prob.
you will want to get a cheaper gun to do primer never use the same gun,does not have to be a highend gun for prime.
stay away from binks, a few people i know have had issues

if you ever need pointers hit me up..

one thing i cant stress enough is clean your gun when done THE WHOLE GUN

good luck in your new carrier

thanks for the tips and the wishes, and i know about the gun cleaning, my class destroyed 2 0f them, we had 4 and they either clogged em up or lost the gaskets[:@]i clean them all the time
i found this one recently
this good? or is it crap? (its from home depot, i wouldt doubt if it was ****)
