    Get mine off amazon. I have used them numerous times and never had a failure with bad weather and roughing around in the dirt.

    Best way to do a overall paint job ?

    I use dupont acrylic. Harbor frieght gravity feed guns that i just throw away when im done or it screws up. I dont use my hugh dollar hvlp guns for MV's as i spray paint pretty thick. We DA 320 then 400 to level things out prime any bare spots and then wipe down with degreaser prep then spray away.
