Some people swear by the gravity feed guns but I find them bulky & generally a pain in the butt. I use a good ol' fashion Divilbiss J501 syphon gun. It was the very best in its day 10 years ago & if you go to the best body shops in the world, you'll see that many painters still use them. Painters all have their own favorite...I have a friend that will only use a Binks, but the Divilbiss is easy to get parts, needles & seals, & very Cheap.
If you have a problem with achieving an absolutely showroom perfect finish on your vehicle after using this gun, I can assure you it will not be the fault of the gun.
I bought another one recently on Ebay for under $100.
That's my take on it.
