I read good things about the DeVilbiss guns. I already have another one on the way that has good reviews. It should have between a 4-6 CFM working pressure. I am also going to be upgrading my compressor.

I must admit I did consider a turbine HVLP spraying system. Saw a video where they seemed to do great with little to no overspray. BUT this is likely going to be my only real paint job and the compressor is a better investment for the long run.
