gravity feed is the best, and I am not sure about the quality of a craftsmanship gun. Personally, I would go with an entry-level Iwata gun. I use a gravity feed airbrush Iwata and the thing is amazing. Its up to you. You can either go cheaper on a gun and have to buy a new one or keep the same one forever which will cost a little more.

hope this helps

Go gravity feed, go HVLP and if you want a GREAT gun in the $300 range go with the Binks M1-G. Available most online paint shops and at Eastwood.

I think that in the Eastwood magazine I saw a new entry level Iwata gravity feet HVLP gun set (2 guns) for ~$150 or $200?? That's a heck of a deal. That's the route I would go.
