That's the way I learned but I am lucky in that I have a friend who teaches auto painting at the local VoTech school and Ryan Korek whom I mentioned earlier is willing to share his know how with me. By the way, Eastwood has a nice paint gun called Concours, which while not a Sata, etc, is a nice gun for the price and only requires about 5-6 cfm at 40 psi and paints nicely at 29 psi. It's critical to have a compressor which can provide enough flow to the gun, if not, you get splatters and will never get a nice finish. Good luck.
