You don't really need two for the most part usually it is just very convient. If you clean your gun very well between switching you should be allright. I did a lot of very nice paint jobs with one gun.
But after about the 3rd I decided to get a primer gun cause you can use a cheap gun on primer and it is one less thing to worry about getting cross-contamination.
I also have a clearcoat gun and basecoat gun now, the reason I need one was when I started to House of Kolro Kandy paint jobs the flash time between last coat of Kandy to clearcoat was faster than I could properly clean the gun and set it up for clear so it was neccissity. Also I like to run different size air caps for base and clearcoat instead of cranking the control flow up and down.
