I have an Iwata 400 that I bought second hand on ebay for 250.00, it was like new. sure you can do a good job with the astro gun but you will have to work harder at it. the problem i have had with cheaper guns is they dont always spray the same way twice, seems like every time you take them apart and clean them they act just a little different than before, not bad but i like to get used to one gun and then you know how it is going to spray. a quality gun will allways spray the same.

here is what I use for a supplied air system
