Depends on many factors. How old it is, condition, spray condition, what the market is willing to pay, etc etc. There appears to be 2 Sunburst Black models. An older model and newer model.

Older Model - Fan at the base is controlled by the motor and is white/cream, really big. The gears that turn the spray and color wheel are solid brass. The color wheel itself is glass. Internals are larger, not as compact.

Newer Model - Fan at the base is small, black and same as a computer fan. It runs independent of the motor. The gears that turn the spray and color wheel are plastic. The color wheel itself is plastic also. The internal components are newer, smaller and more compact. The color produced by this models color wheel is also much more vibrant and richer.

The better the condition, the better the outcome. The spray should be full, thick and droopy. Anything else means it has been cut, damaged or just showing its age.

Good luck!
