Painting help...tips from the pros

Hey guys,
I want to do some exterior touchup and I already have two compressors, tons of air tools now I just need the guns. I see guns ranging from 500 of Sata to 15 bucks from Harbor freight.com, there are obvious differences but I wont be using it alot just everynow and then so I dont want to go overkill.
My questions are:
If I want one gun to do it all: clear coat, base..etc what tip(s) do i need?
What guns do you people have that were under 100$ and where did you get them?
Where do you buy your paints?
Is there any other stuff im missing, Besides a in line pressure regulator?

Thanks!

i i was you i would get 2 guns you should have a primer gun and a base/clear gun. primer should be like a 1.7 tip, base/clear should be like 1.3. i have some iwata guns i payed about 150 a piece for they spray ok but sata is for sure alot better. you should look on ebay for a sata jet 90 they dont make them anymore i forget what it was replaced with but they are pretty descent priced on ebay usually and pretty much anyone can lay down good paint with one of those.

sata if you want to spend the money, sata is about 100 bucks though. sharpes are fairly cheap like 15 bucks for one without a gauge but you will probably want one with. let me know if i can help you with anything else.
