I have done a lot of work to the engine bay and it is now primed. I want to buy a pneumatic paint sprayer and apply a 2 part Eastwood epoxy sealer. Does anyone have a recommendation on which sprayer to buy. The options are endless, and they’re anywhere from $15-$400! Has anyone done this already and can you please make a recommendation? I searched the site but could not find anything.

A bunch of folks here use the harbor freight spray guns. They are decent guns. I had one years ago but it's long gone.... I don't even remember who I lent it to.

That's if you're talking about gravity fed air spray guns.
 
@Davedacarpainter has a thread on painting and stuff.
Also at the bottom of this thread are some links too.
 
My recommendation would be to go to ebay and buy a nice used Sata 4000 or newer. Use it to paint your car, then sell it for what you bought it for.

It‘ll provide a far superior paint job than what you can get at HF and you’ll be able to sell it fairly easy.

It‘ll cost you a bit at first, but you’ll get your money back.
