    Im sick of using them shitty little cans and changing tips and spending fortunes on 400ml of paint....

    So i want a proper kit, im just after basic setup thats not going to shoot splats of paint.

    What should i look out for in particular when buying a compressor & gun etc.

    Any recomendations?

    Id recommend a sealey gun (the one around £50) my mates dad uses it in his bodyshop as its pretty much pro performance for very little money. TBH the compressor wont really make a difference as long as its not total bollocks!In my experience gravity fed guns are better as you can hold the gun at different angles even when there isn't much paint in it!

    Ive bought a 2.5hp compressor with a 24ltr tank. Runs upto 150 Psi & a basic spray gun came with it but im going to get the one described above (gravity fed)

    all good?

    Sounds good to me! gravity fed is the way forward. Had a non-gravity fed one and ended up with a massive dark spot where the paint wasn't coming out so i was spraying dead close then suddenly decided to come out in a massive rush lol!
