devilbliss makes good guns, and thats an ok set up for a hobbest, IMO with that kit, your paying more for the small things, then you need. look into geting a devilbliss FinishLine or a sharpe cobalt, both are very good starter guns. put it this way, I would never spary a car with the devilbliss startingline set up you posted, but I would with the two I said.. and the price is about the same.
another gun that has proven its self to me many many times is the binks m1-g its about $350 but its one hell of a gun from the price.
FYI: devilbliss, binks, sharpe,graco and eastwood's house brand gun are ALL made by the same company now.
iwata, and sata jet are also the same company.
and remember never pick a spray gun too big for your air compressor!

$169.99 devilbliss finishline it even comes with two tips now, very good gun for the price.....
Iwata is by far the best gun ive owned, I also spray a lot of dupont paint, and chroma-base has a chart for iwata. very handy.
Spry guns are not allways "you get what you pay for" the type of gun needs to match the painter, I spent over $500 for a sata digital, years ago when they first came out, and I hated it, but a firend of mine loves it. I could have done better with a finishline..
My gun I use now are
Binks M1-G for nason single stage paints, and some urthane primers.
devilbliss gfg for base coats and some primers.
devilbliss takna with a 1.3 tip for noithing but clear coats.
Its not my perfect setup but it is working good for me. also you dont need different guns to paint a car, I paint 2-3 cars a week, and Ive found it much more convenient. Now I dont have the need to spend 20mins adjusting my gun and regluators.
What ever gun you chooise, rember to keep it very clean. I don't like to let my guns go "dry" I allways keep thinner in them when their not in use.
