Hi all, I was in a local hardware store earlier which sells tools at discount rates and they had a small selection of ingersoll rand spray guns.
Now since I'm planning some welding in the near future and have a wing which requires spraying I thought I may have a dabble rather than use aerosol.
Just for the record I have acess to a suitable space for spraying and a large enough air compressor.

The IR spray guns they had were:
210CSA 1.8mm suction feed
240HSA 1.5mm suction feed
270HGP 1.4mm HVLP gravity feed

the prices ranged from £15 to £20, does anyone with painting experience think these are any good and if so which one?

thanks in advance

will you be using solvent or waterbase ?

To be honest I don't know, which would be easiest to use/setup? I'm not looking for professional bodyshop quality finish.

waterbase is easier and less of a problem buying the paint
if its the same as airbrushing stuff then id go for the waterbase paint
