well you at least need 2 guns because primer residue will not come out of the gun nomatter how many times you clean it. It will allways show in your paint so ya you can do it with 2 guns but i wouldn't

The small husky compressors suck ***** (we had 3 die in two weeks at our bike shop).
I've had the 33 craftsman for well over 2 years, it works great.
The air filters / water separators are super important for painting.
The main thing is that prep work is more important that equipment, take your time, and practice before the real thing. It'll be worth your time...

thanks for the help guys, another question is if i get a 30 or 33 gallon compressor what hp should it have or what cfms or doesnt it matter too much? What are the warrentys like for the husky and craftsman? I am thinking about doin the two gun thing, if i got a nicer one for paint and a cheaper one for primer would that work? I plan on painting my car black or navy blue with a flat or matte finish, i heard is not as hard to see the blemishes, and i was planning on it neways.

They definately are nice. I used my boss's Sata (Satajet) for over a year at work, got used to spraying with it, then got my own DeVillebiss and the difference in spraying is unbeleivable. Don't get me wrong, I like my DeVillebiss and can get used to the way it spray's, but it seems like the Sata was much easier.

another question do you guys suggest a syphon, or gravity feed.

All done w/ my lowly 15 gallon Coleman compressor mated to a gravity fed HVLP gun purchased @ pepboys for 80 bucks. It was painted in my garage made paint booth with painting tarps, box fans, and a semi-wet floor to collect dust. And the paint... the paint was from Murray's discount auto. They sell duplicolor by the gallon. Just called "Universal black".
