Default HVLP Sprayer Selection

I have a Graco 4900 comp spray unit. 2 gallon remote pressure pot with it.
Just so far used the turbine unit with just 1 Qt gun so far. Worked
awesome.Check out just an HVLP 3800 or 4800 Turbine unit, Comes with a REAL
good guns, mine came with 2. I have just sprayed only oil enamel with it
over some old varnish greasy poly one it. Some BCX remind you. They came out
like GLASS !
Not to bad for my first time spraying with a HVLP.
It too 10 minutes to dial it in and shot 2 coats with oil primer. HVLP's are
real slow though. Takes some trim to get used too after using an airless but
they use almost no paint. 80 - 90 % efficient.. Get a good unit with at
least 3 tip combo..........like a 2 3 and 4 tip/ cap combo. Thin material
right and have fun.

One of the other wood magazines just did a very long review of HVLP

systems.
If you are interested, I can go look it up.

I'm tired of brushing on 5 coats on 6 sides and spending more time
applying finish than actually building the project.
So I'm thinking of getting into spraying and I'm looking at the
Wagner 2600 , Wagner 2900, or Fuji Q3 HVLP sprayer systems. Other
than a review in Fine Woodworking, I haven't been able to find much
info on these systems. I only get 1 or two major projects a year
completed but they end up in the bedroom & family room, so they need
to look good.

Any opinions??

I'm pretty happy with my Accuspray. Paint viscosity and air

pressure/volume
have to be properly set-up to get really good results, though.
