I've got a 100L v-twin with a 3HP motor, delivering 336l/min, I bought it from a Chinese tool importer for about $500NZD. I put a water separator on it, and it's perfect for spraying. I picked up a second hand professional HVLP touch up gun for another $60NZD. $560 is a lot of money, but air compressors are so useful, I use the dust nozzle all the time during sanding and prep.
Mine is a different colour, but they're all made to order by the same Chinese factory.
My advice? Check our alibaba...order direct:

Thanks Gents, I purchased a touch up gun I will get a compressor shortly.
OK, so next noob question, what paint and where do you get it?
for the spray gun setup...

I buy acrylic lacquer from an auto-parts store. Dulon (PPG) is made for DIY car painters. The debate between lacquer and enamel rages on internet forums. Car paint is pretty darn durable. You stay with one system from primer to clear coat.

I think I will try one each way, One "Rattle Can" as you call them and one with the gun.
Just for experience.
Thank you all for your advice, it has been of help.
ok, does anyone know where I can find a colour chart for the Rothko and Frost products? I can't even find it on their site?

Go to finishes, click on Rothco and the chart is there
