spray guns

i'm considering investing in a proper spray gun and compressor etc, as i always seem to be spray painting with crappy cans. I have quite a bit of experience with paint and colour matching etc as i'm an illustrator and was wondering if anyone could recommend a route to take? I'd want to be able to spray whole panels to as high standard as possible, but don't want to spend a ridiculous amount on it. I can use a conservatory room in my house as a small vented booth area too.

Ive got a local paint firm who supply very good auto paint to any colours in tins as well.

i was also thinking if i did do this i could provide cheap panel respraying to mates and fellow rocco owners!

Wait for the next Aldi Air Tools sale. The compressors are pretty powerful and dirt cheap for the hobbyist. Saying that i have not used mine yet, as i am painting the Imp in white as a practice before i tackle the Rocco, but it gets good reports.
