HPLV & Airless sprayer advice wanted...
I manage several small apartment buildings and have a very large loft
that I am renovating. I am looking to invest in some painting equipment since I have such a small window of time to repaint when a new tenant moves in. THe HPLV I plan to use for trim and doors and the airless for walls and ceilings. I also plan to use the HPLV equipment in the future for a wood workshop I am building in the future. The airless will also be used to spray water based coating for concrete (part of a side business). I am looking at Graco (i own a Graco texture sprayer already). I see a lot of Wagner products, but I have had a bad experience with Wagner's lower end stuff made for homeowners. I am not sure if their professional line is also bad. Any experience with Wagner's higher end stuff? I noticed Fuji has a 4 stage HPLV system as well as a 3 stage. What advantages will the extra stage give you? Any general advice is welcome. I am just try to avoid overkilling on my equipment purchases.. or buying something too cheap that won't do what I need it to do. thanks in advance... |

I have had two Graco airless sprayers $300 / $1000 and was happy with both.
You will not need a third stage on your hvlp unless you don't mind spending the extra $ We use these hvlps in our vintage trailer restoration business and love both of them. http://www.tptools.com/prod_list_dis...KVAV4XHVE04HGD http://www.lemmer.com/t55-hvlp-turbine.htm If you are going to use your hvlp for woodworking check out the Fuhr products on the page the other poster sent your about spraying. Fuhr makes water based or water bourne clear wood finishes that are awesome. You will never use oilbased finishes again.

Sherwin Williams carries a few top brands and often has sales this time
of year, they can direct you to brand and price-quality differences . Ive used Titan. They also repair equipment, a big consideration you should not overlook in trying to get the cheapest price. Often I get a free loaner on warranty repairs. |
