Electric spraygun recommendation

When you say "electric spraygun" do you specifically mean and airless electric sprayer, or are you including HVLP turbine sprayers, and compressed air sprays from electric compressors etc?

What kind of paint are you planning to use?

Something like this:

Plain, run of the mill metal enamel; nothing special. Hammered finish capability would be nice, but probably asking a bit much from a self- contained electric gun!

I have sprayed a car with enamel(not cellulose) paint using a Burgess vibratory spray gun. The results were a bit orange peely and it was difficult to get the paint thin enough to spray and thick enough to not run. Coverage was OK. Probably can be done for non critical finishes, but I'd buy a few spray cans if it's only a one off job.

Blacksmith across way uses one of these for spraying fabrications

Some useful reviews on the amazon page, too. THanks!

The very best spray guns cost a fortune. If you include the cost of the air supply to them - which is just as important as the gun itself.

Self contained airless types are ok for spraying a fence, but ain't going to give a half decent finish where this is needed.

Best value which can give decent results is an HVLP unit like those made by Apollo. About 200 quid and not too big to store/transport.

Cheaper high pressure types tend to suffer from inadequate flow at the best pressure - and also produce water as part of the compression process. So at the minimum need a decent water trap. HVLP don't produce water - indeed the warm air they produce is an advantage for spraying.
