I resore antique cars for a living. We do alot of Pebble Beach concours cars among other shows. I both a siphon feed and a gravity feed. The main thing to make a good paint finish is the tip size. I perfer 1.3mm. But for metalics and three color paints it's good to go with the 1.5mm to the 1.7mm. The gun itself doesn't matter. I sometimes use a siphon feed that I bought for $15.00 brand new!! Another thing that makes a good finish is color sanding. But you have to apply a lot more material.
