Anything over $500 is crazy, IMO.

Default One time while watching the TNN's ?? (hotrod?) garage, one of the guys pulled out this pump sprayer

and a pint sized custom matched paint from a local paint store. I think he got the pump sprayer too from the same paint store. Not a bad thing to do for painting small panels and spend probably just in the order of $100. Although I have a compressor, I don't intend to get a spray gun. Hmmm, maybe an airbrush will be decent.

"RRR" is hard to say when a sneeze is initiating. Tongue can choke you ;P

the touchup guns do a great job, use little paint and are cheap.
