i would use gravity fed. i used both at work an alway tend to go for gravity fed, alot more easy to manuver an paint with plus there not as heavy as the suction ones
gravity fed 1s are cheaper 2 seen at cheap 1 at macces for 14.99 will do the job your after just gbe sure to clean it well after every use as this will affect the final finish

Gravity feed, cheaper and easier to use, so if you're good at painting you get a better job, well I do.

conventional guns can be used upside down, on there side etc where as a gravity fed gun will only work horizontal to the job. actually will work at angles but not that long once pot starts to empty with paint
gravity fed are best for doin panels really and what u want, if u want u can borrow mine mark offers there
here it is,
sprayed my gsi wheels other week with it,

I'm not sure if Tom is still painting stuff in his spare time. He hasn't been over in a while, but how about asking him for a price?

i had a price of you a while ago, was a good price, but its alot of effort to get the car down to you in its current state..... would rather try and paint it where it is.
