Ive got 3 GTI`s, great guns IMO.

Bought 1 GTI and the GTI W second hand from Ebay, the other GTI was new from a guy on Ebay, was the best price I could find anywhere.

l always prefer gravity feed guns they are less bulky and easy to get in to tight corners,
the general rule of thumb is to get a gun which will spray at the lowest pressure that will provide the best atomization and spray pattern
The best spray guns are Sata's and Iguata's which are german brands. But Sharpie spray guns are pretty nice at reasonable prices. For painting I recommend a 1.4mm tip. and for clear a 1.3mm tip
as for price search the net and flebay dont buy on a wim
