I use the "touch up" spray guns from harbor freight...about $10 to 15 each depending on if they are on sale.  They work good for me and I don't really spend alot of time cleaning them other than spraying acetone through them.  I go through 1 to 2 per year.

I am going to check on the airbrush Andy...sounds easier to clean.

I use an Ingersol Rand gravity feed spray gun. It's overkill for bows(it's big enough to spray a car) but it works really well and it cleans up in a couple minutes. After 8 years of hard use it still works like new.

I use a sprayer called PREVAL 268. These are really cool little units. They are disposables and you get about 2 bows from 1 unit. I got mine at Menard's and they are only about 8 bucks and they work for me. You can check them out on the internet.

I use a touch up sprayer from Steve's tools for about $5.  Easy to clean and can spray at least 3-4 bows from each one.  I think Cal-hawk is the brand.
