Richard speaks truth! This is one of those rare times when it's not important to buy the most expensive materials. Do get a high quality mask, and make sure you have a good in-line water trap on the air hose. If water comes through the line, you are basically blasting water into your finish. It will then reappear as raised spots, at some later date, and rust will start to form on the metal beneath.

Dont waste money on an expensive spray gun either. I use a SupaCheap Auto gravity feed gun that was less than $100, possibly much less, I dont remember. It serves me well, is very adjustable, and provided I clean it well after use, should see me through my restoration. If it does start yo play up, it will go into the bin, and I buy another one. Don't really think that will happen.
