Default Spray gun advice

Like Jeff says, it's hard to beat an HVLP system for a woodworker.

Large price range, and the more you pay the better overall results
you will get with more types of finishes.

This one is highly rated for and by woodworkers. Has a number of
hands on reviews on YouTube, check them out.

I have the predecessor to the above and use it for spraying
everything from primer and shellac, to many paints.

I've owned three different HVLP units, in three prices ranges from
$49 to the above, and would have been far ahead in results and
reliability had I just spent the bucks for the above to begin with.
Keep in mind this is a medium priced HVLP setup, you can spend much
more.


Damn-it. Tunnel vision - when somebody talks about HVLP, I think conversion
guns. As long as we've had threads about this stuff, I still don't
immediately think turbines until someone else brings them up. You know what
they say - when all you have is a hammer...
