Message	I'm looking to get a media blaster and paint gun for christmas so I can strip and paint my Z. What paint gun will give me a pro looking paint job but not cost more than $150? I've found a few HVLP kits but I'm not sure if that's the type of gun I should get and also what brand I should get. I just found a Devilbiss straightline kit with 1.3, 1.5, and 1.8mm fluid tips for $140 that looks nice and claims to be able to do everything that I need it to. I know that I will have to do tons of prep, body work, and sanding but I just need to know about the guns for now. Thanks for the input,
