wip cord is just a small cord that makes it easier to move around the gun instead of a big air line!!
go into a local spray shop and they normally have sum decet ones for around £50 but bodyshops use ones that cost about £300

DeVillbis GTi, great gun for the money, could pick one up new for 200ish or second hand for around the hundred mark

the advantage with the HLVP guns is that more of the paint land on the pannel rather than bouncing off as its being used at a lower pressure, but im personaly not all that keen on using suction fed guns for anything other than primer

I've got a Devilbiss GTi, SRi and SATA Jet1. Would recommend all of them. I'd go for a GTi, very versatile. Failing that, there are a few extremely good value SIP gravity guns on the go at the moment.
