Is there a better style of gun for Latex application on walls and
ceilings? This is hopefully a one time job, and the HVLP gun will be
used for lacquer application on furniture later.



Been there. Rent an airless for the latex. Air-atomization of latex is
problematic unless you thin it a lot. Some are worse than others.
I have tried and tried to spray latex with normal equipment...never
happy.
Rented an Titan airless from my paint store...un-be-frickin-believable.
Went out and bought one. Virtually no overspray. Great texture. Very
fast. Cleanup is not hard once you develop a few tricks.

The only thing remotely related to latex that I do spray on a regular
basis with my HVLP equipment, is Benjamin Moore clear latex-based
lacquer.... but it was designed to be sprayed with regular equipment.



Good advice -- will do so...
