Does anyone paint cars for a living? Or have friends that do it?

[Nocturnal]

I am in the market to pick up my own spray gun. I plan to paint whole cars, touch ups, bumpers, so fourth and so on. Can anyone recommend the top of the line stuff that shops use? Thanks!

Well I dont paint cars for a living, but Im a Painting Contractor who does alot of fine finnish work like kitchen Cabinets and I also took auto body in HS for 3 years.
I have painted around 20 cars and on 10 of them I used a HVLP sprayer (High Volum Low Pressure)
I would get a Fuji Q3 System HVLP you will love it, you can check it out here.


Hope this helps.

I used to paint industrial equipment and friends used to paint cars. Easiest/ best gun I used was made by devilbiss. Most equipment painters use airless guns now I guess.
