Default Painters - what spraygun?

looking at getting some more tools in the bodyshop, mainly for myself so i dont have to worry about the boss's tools etc and i can have a set all for myself.

the boss is using a Devilbiss GTI Pro - anyone used them before?

also, what do people rate as being a good gun for mainly painting with what will soon be nothing but water based paints on the market? we still use BCL paints just now but water based seems to be taking hold up here a lot now.

cheers

neil

Devilbiss/sata are the best,sata guns arnt cheap but you get what you pay for,
Devilbiss another great gun maybe better then the sata, you can get the GTI PRO for around Ł200 now on ebay, well worth the 200

you'll need three guns so your looking at a good Ł1k for a good set up, end of the day you get what you pay for!
