Thinking about a HVLP outfit for stains and varnish. Would like to keep a
budget line under $300. I know, the good ones are $6-800 but that's a bit
hard to swallow or justify. What experience is there out there and what
models preform well enoough to make it worth while.

I'm hearing some good things about the new minijet4 HVLP from Sata

Price seems reasonable for that kind of quality.
It might very well be my next gun. With the adaptor, changing it from
gravity fed to pressure pot-feed, you can spray upside down and sideways.

Btw.. I think 6-800 dollars is stupid-money for a spray-gun...even a
full-time professional one.
