The CIH 2150 with a hardener will be fine. I don't reccomend 2150 without a hardener. The shine will not be as great or last as long and it takes several weeks to fully cure. If you are using paint with a hardener you can sand a run out the next day if need be. If you buy some of the better paints like a Dupont or PPG acrylic enamel with hardener you get all the stuff with a recipe to follow. After painting with implement company paint and then using an automotive finish you think you died and went to heaven. It is a lot easier to work with and lay down. I'm not saying the implement store paint is bad. In fact I would reccomend that a beginner start with that. Just make sure you use a hardener. I can't remember what it is called but they make something to add to the paint that will prevent "fish eye" and "orange peel". Ask someone at an autobody supply store about this product. An inexpensive gun will work fine. I wouldn't go with the cheapest thing I could find but you can find an imitation Binks for probably $50 or $60. Whatever you buy for a gun learn how to take it apart and put it back together with your eyes closed. The key to a gun that functions properly and paints good is how it is cleaned and cared for. Buy yourself a good quality mask too. If you are like me you might be painting in an area that is clean to us but by painting standards not all that clean. I reccomend spraying a mist of water on the floor right before painting. Prevents dust contamination. Good luck.
