I've have a cheap 100 buck standard gravity feed gun and I find it does quite a good job considering I'm a newbie at painting.

I've sprayed 2pac and Enamel with it no worries(last year) and recently(last two weeks) I've used it with Acryllic for the first time. Seems to produce a good finish on the Acrylic though I'm still learning. I got a little bit of orange peel on a section of my left rear panel(MX83 project) but I'm still experimenting. Re-sand and touch up tommorow.

The finish with 2pac was awesome. My 4WD's suspension and diff housings(plus other minor bits) came up a treat. I found the 2pac to be easiest to spray with(hard to run) and by far the best finish. Just a lot of prep involved.

I'm using a cheap 99 buck GMC compressor (2hp + 24L) with a quality SMC regulator and water trap. My mini pressure gauge is mounted on the gun. The compressor keeps up fine, though since this morning I've coupled this setup to another small and very old compressor and tank(1.5hp + 60L) for piece of mind.

Good luck.
