Not to discourage buying new tools, but since I worked for Binks through 
the 70's and into the mid 80's, I accumulated and used lots of quality 
spray equipment, even an electric airless unit.  Painted dozens of cars and 
thousands of squae feetback of walls back then.  In recent years I haven't 
painted as much, but my old guns still work just as well as they did then, 
and I know how to use them already.
