A gravity feed HVLP with a pressure regulator on the handle. Works well for me, but I'm no expert painter.

I think a sunction gun is OK for baswork, but would definetly recommend a gravity gun for top coat. |

What difference do you notice when using the top feed? |

Its not so much finish, although you can generally get a better flow, rather the gun can be moved a greater angle from vertical when spraying. This means you can spray more easily into this awkward places. This may help http://www.autobodypro.com/tektips/articles/spray_guns.htm |

yeah I would buy a gravity feed, star guns have the reputation (and the price to go with it) for my car I used a Fragram gravity feed (about $100) was a great deal easier to handle and better control than a suction feed even as an amatuer I could see they were better |

Don't be silly. You don't need separate guns. Your technique as a beginner will affect the quality of the job far more than the gear. Did you read the article posted? Quote: Even with the spray equipment and the optimum gun settings, a technician's technique can ruin a paint job. "[An] improper spraying technique will result in uneven coatings, mottling, runs and orange peel,"
