How much $$$? I've seen good results (albeit not in person) from Sharpe HVLP guns. They run a "few hundred".

^ those are said results. Pure DIY job. Though I dunno if you're going on such a large scale?

thanks for the ups guys, when i was done painting it was 2am and I thought it was like 10pm

(worst to best)
well for basic touch up in the garage id use somthing like this http://cgi.ebay.com/Touch-Up-Air-Pai...QQcmdZViewItem
but thats only for small repairs not whole panels
your next bet would be going up to something like this http://cgi.ebay.com/Sharpe-Finex-FX3...QQcmdZViewItem
but you best bet would be something like this (this is the first gun i everused) http://cgi.ebay.com/DeVilbiss-Paint-...QQcmdZViewItem This gun is for larger jobs (ive done entire cars with it)
you will also need a compressor the has a high feed volume and an air dryer co that the moisture doesnt **** up you gun and paint
