I know this topic has been beaten to death, but I'd like some help
selecting a conversion gun.

I'd like to avoid tubines as I'd prefer to have less noise, and I'd
like to have a large compressor anyway.

I'm hoping to spray poly (or poly mixed with tung oil or stain) and
rather thick paints for kids furniture. I can see spraying other
finishes in the future though. And some day trying to spray cars. I'd
like easy clean up. Price matters, but I'm willing to spend what it
takes to get a good one. I probably don't need a pro gun. A price
around a couple hundred would be about right, unless I can get
something equally good for less. I was thinking to get probably the
80 gallon porter cable on amazon for $850 (minus $150). What kind of
CFMs should I really be looking for? thanks
