Anyone have the 6002? Highland is running a sale.
The earlex website has a problem right now, that won't show the products
correctly, so it's a little tough to navigate back and forth...

looking for FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE not your rear end opinions. :-)

Never used one so no help. I have used the HF el-cheapo version for
odd paint jobs , including front wall of shop, and it worked well for me.

Since we're talking HVLP...

Does anyone have a source of good/cheap (right) guns with replaceable
needles (or really cheap guns with various size needles)? I want to
play/learn on the cheap.

I was at HF over the weekend. Their HVLP guns had a standard 1/4"
disconnect. Dow the 'HV' and 'LP' part really work through such a
small connection?


I assume you are talking a conversion gun. Not the same thing. The HVLP
conversion gun is better than the conventional gun in reducing
overspray, but it's not 100% up to the task.

They're certainly not advertised as "conversion guns". I bought one
of these:

I like my HF HVLP guns, the $9 and $25 guns. The $25 has a finer set of
holes, so it can deliver a finer mist. The $9 just does it all and
really well.

The HF guns I looked at the other day had 1/4" quick disconnects, too.
Have you tried latex with your setup?

But I thought for $299 that the 6002 was an upgrade and cheaper than the
5000 series.

It sure looks like a good deal! The 5000 series is single-stage,
isn't it?
