You might consider ordering from a US on-line source and having the items shipped to a US address, if you have a friend/local office you're visiting. I don't know how many stores would keep a large inventory of spray guns, etc. so you could simply walk in and get what you wanted.

For cheap tools you can also check out this place, mostly China made crap, but some quality items or items that don't have to be quality to be useful.

For profesional quality body shop equipment, there are many places listed in the yellow pages, but maybe some LA guys can recommend thier favorite.
