I've heard that the Astra HVLP guns are nice. $90 on eBay. HF has one
for $50 but I don't know anyone who has one. I think if I were buying
a cheaper gun, I'd definitely go with a gravity type.

HF Tanks. For $66, you can double your compressor capacity. That's a
lot cheaper than buying a larger compressor if it's unnecessary.

Their 5-gal models go for $22.99.


I called Jeff Jewitt back today and decided to go with a Walcom Slim S.
It's a gravity feed unit. I might have been able to shop around a little
more, but I figure being able to talk to Jeff if I have a problem is worth
something. I'll see how my current setup works when I get the gun.


Ouch, $260 for the gun and $96 for each needle/aircap set? Since you
need one for latex (home stuff), one for lacquer (projects), etc., it
can add up quickly. But I guess that having a pro handy for questions
can be invaluable. Let us know how you like it.


Thanks for your help.


Jewelcome.
