i got two finishline III they work good for the price, the gta or gti is the top line of devilbiss.

Sata is a great gun if you want to spend for the best.

as for compressor stay away from sears there all to small. Get a 240 volt two stage from lowes or home depot bigger is better when spraying. i used two sear compressor when i sprayed and it worked fine one would not do that job. you need cool dry air to spray the best. you do not want water in your lines that is disaster when it hits the paint...ask me how i know.

so would this compressor suffice?
here im not sure if it is a dual stage or not but even if it wasnt would it be powerful enough?
