My son is taking auto body in high school, and he wants a spray gun for Christmas. He showed me some on the internet that I believe are Astro brand. They want $150 for the set. I found these on ebay, and was wondering if they are any good. I don't want to spend alot of money yet, as I don't know how serious he is going to be about this. If he gets serious I will buy him a better setup as he progresses. I will post the two links, and would appreciate any feedback as soon as possible so I can make my purchase in time for Christmas. Thanks.....Tom

This is the link to the one I found on ebay

They are both what I would call entry level spray guns. They will work fine if he is planning on painting a few times a year. They may not have all the bells and whistles but they would definitely be great to start with. As he gets more adept at paint work, there are many quality guns on the market for him to upgrade from these. He will have a great Christmas. Just wait until he wants to paint your car!

I'm going to let him (eeeeeek). No seriously I have a (Shhhhhhhh) 91 mustang GT that needs a little work. It is mostly a car I use for work, so it's nothing special. It runs good and keeps me from racking up to many miles on my truck. Thanks for the input
