need some gun help. please
so im getting ready to spray my truck (and have no clue when it comes to guns), and have been shopping around for a nice paint gun. the problem is that my compressor will only push about 9 cfm. I have found a few guns that i could use but there close to 400$. If anyone could recommend some some guns around the 200$ range and low cfm ratings. I would be forever thankful. the closest Ive come is a SRI pro for 350$. reguardless i am truly lost...

sorry i found it. i guess since you do a lot of painting, the question i should ask is do you think this would be a good set for a guy who is going to paint for the first time and knows nothing about it? A little info about the project, its a restore had it media blasted and new sheet metal welded in everywhere. so its bare steel. when it comes to the paint I want it to turn out like I had a clue what I was doing. so figured I should at least get a paint gun that would ease the learning curve. what do you think

I like my Devilbiss Finishline III, affordable and more than adequate for the hobbyist, but I believe it requires more CFM than you have to work with. You could check and make sure. I quit looking at CFM requirements when I bought my last compressor(7.5HP 23CFM)
