what kind of guns do you shoot with?

I saw that you said you only have a primer and basecoat gun, do you shoot clear coat with the base coat gun as well?

I have a SATA KLC w/ a 1.8 needle/ tip for primer and a SATAJET 2000 with a 1.4 needle/tip for base/clear/single stage. the 1.4 is a tiny bit big for base but i just crank the needle spring (this controls your fluid amount) down a bit and move fast.
i think my compressor is 60 gallons or something? not sure actually haha. i also use a SATA regulator and ALWAYS an inline filter for the air. SATA stuff is pretty expensive and not really needed... but i also have been using these same 2 guns for 4+ years and they never once had a problem, so thats worth the high price to me.

SATA's are good guns. Its what we use at school.

We have a knock-off SATA that we use for Primer, an HVLP for base, then a 2000RP for clear.

We also have 2 touch-up guns and about 4 DevilBiss too.
