Default paint gun

I am going to paint my sons truck in the near future, it has been 20 years since I have painted a vehicle and want to know what paint gun is a good one. medium price range, it does not have to be top of the line but also not a cheap one. I am going to spray base/clear, that was not around last time I painted, but seems to be forgiving from what I have read. anyone have a suggestion?

If you're thinking of spraying BC/CC, better save your sheckles for a self contained suit and fresh air supply.....oh, about 1500-1800 dollars...then you can look at a number of gravity feed guns, DeVillbis, or Binks, or something less expensive from Harbor Freight (Chinese stuff).

Do a search on BC/CC, lot's of discussion on that paint, and the nasties that make up that paint that will kill you if you ingest the fumes into your lungs.
