Any suggestions on a decent spray gun that doesn't cost more than around 100 bucks? I was told that Blinks spray guns are really good but also a bit pricey.
Air Spray Spray Guns From Binks I love these 20% off coupons at HF and am also curious if anyone has used any of the Central Pneumatic spray guns from HF and how they liked them. What are the pros/cons of the gravity feed vs siphon styles? I know nothing about spray guns. As a side note, it looks like I can get the high temp paint and clear coat in a spray can so maybe I don't have to get a spray gun, but it would be nice to have one anyway.

No one with spray guns? Fair enough, I actually ended up just buying spray cans from VHT. I guess for small projects the spray gun is not really necessary. I'd still like to hear about people's likes/dislikes with various spray guns though.

Try eastwood.com - they have a private brand that I've heard is pretty good. The new one is called the Evolution for $100.
I have a really good old style (siphon feed) binks. I also have a pair of HVLP gravity feed guns from Harbor Freight, paid less than $50 for the pair on sale. They actually work OK. Tip - on cheaper guns, set the fluid flow to use a bit less paint than you might otherwise use with a good gun, and spray a little slower. The difference between a great gun and a good gun is how finely it atomizes the paint. Using less fluid flow tends to compensate for the poorer atomization from the cheaper gun. |

I don't know what your purpose but my buddy has the Wagner Control Spray Double Duty which runs by electric. I have borrowed him one to paint the fence. The result is pretty good and decent.
You can find it Homedepot or Lowes.
