Buying Paint guy, few questions

Hey I'm going to repaint the inserts on my wheels, and do a little touch up paint on my bumpers . I seem to keep running into this kinda stuff so I figured I might as well go ahead and buy a gun. Any advice on a CHEAP gun I can get that wont mess up too bad? I have plenty of air compressors laying around so thats not a problem. Also would it be better to go ahead and buy a kit with a pressure reader, and what size nozzle do I need? What amount of pressure do I need to run ect. Sorry I'm sure these questions have been answered before, but like everyone else here.. I'm lost without search

what's up man

I recently bought this kit from here: http://www.eastwoodco.com/jump.jsp?i...rID=240&KICKER

Not sure if you would consider this cheap....but they are very nice guns. I re-painted my hood with it at work...and they work just as nice as a $300.00 gun.

Token- I don't expect it to be "easy" I just need something to get the paint on the parts. I can do touch ups with color matched paint, wetsand it down, clear it, sand it, buff it and it looks factory. I'm expecting to put more work into this than that, but this inquiry was for something to put the paint on the car in a bigger scale than a little brush. I'm not painting a car or anything, just small parts on some wheels and a few touch up spots that are fading on my bumpers.. looking for advice, because I'm doing this one way or the other..



Shawn- Whats up dude! Long time no talk. That kit looks like it might be what I'm looking for. I was looking at some slightly used Devil bliss guns on eBay and it seems you can get one for like $5?!? Looks like a nice kit with most of the stuff I need. I might have to hit you up on aim for some more advice if I can ever stay up late enough to catch you
