Something very much like this:  http://www.harborfreight.com/2-pc-professional-automotive-hvlp-air-spray-gun-kit-61472.html but it was three years ago. Works fine for me.  I also bought this: http://www.harborfreight.com/gravity-feed-spray-gun-stand-34958.html I don't see how you can get along without it.

A quart of PPG automotive catalyzed enamel runs around $200, and that's the smallest amount you can buy. You need a quart for the top and rack, but you will never need to paint it again!

Which HF gun to you use? The HVLP gun I got from them was for waterbed paints only. I painted my vanagon with the HF $18.00 industrial sump gun, the traditional kind, and am thinking about spending the extra $2.00 for the professional version they have available now. So, they have an HVLP model now for auto paint?
