You might test drive the latex topcoat first. After adding some latex flow
additive, a similar kit produced very nice results.

Hi all,

Just wanted to mention that I went ahead and purchased the el cheapo
Harbor Freight electric HVLP kit, for $69.99. Comes with the gun, the
electric turbine (4 psi), 15 feet of hose, a viscosity cup, and 3
different needles/nozzles. Turbine says it users 1000 watts. The gun

Tonight I will be sanding the primer then putting on a top coat or two
of latex paint. Now that I am kind of used to it, I think I can put
on a pretty nice topcoat and have a good paint job. With the cost of
the thing, I am pretty impressed. No, I don't expect it to last
forever, but then again, I don't do a tremendous amount of paiting
either. Once I finish this project up, I will be paiting kitchen
cupboards with an oil primer and paint. The key is to keep the paint
a but on the light side and make a few passes, keeping the gun
perpendicular to the work surface.

Anyway, just thought I would pass this along. I wouldn't paint my car
with it, but it works pretty well for small projects. I would say it
is on par with the $200 range CH units.
