We thought you'd like to be one of the first to see our new HVLP
Finishing Sprayer. It's a time saver that delivers a great finish
at a low cost. As an e-mail subscriber, you qualify for FREE

I know specialized tools are neat things to have, but why would
anyone want a dedicated HVLP unit? Seriously, an 8gal HF air
compressor and a HF spot touch up gun and you are up and running for
somewhere around $100. Plus you get all the other uses an air
compressor comes in so handy for. With the dedicated unit, you can
just spray finish.


Maybe it's just me and my set-up, but I prefer having the stand-alone
unit for a couple reasons.
1. It's much more portable than separate gun & compressor.
2. It's much quieter. When I used the 8-gallon tank and gun, it seemed
like the compressor never stopped running, even with the low pressure
spray gun.
