Anyone have the 6002? Highland is running a sale.
The earlex website has a problem right now, that won't show the products
correctly, so it's a little tough to navigate back and forth...

looking for FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE not your rear end opinions. :-)

I have the older, one model down, Earlex 5000.

Would not want to be without it. Best thing since shirt pockets for an
all around, small shop, affordable HVLP system that performs better than
advertised.

I doubt seriously that YMWV ...

Never used one so no help. I have used the HF el-cheapo version for
odd paint jobs , including front wall of shop, and it worked well for me.

Since we're talking HVLP...

Does anyone have a source of good/cheap (right) guns with replaceable
needles (or really cheap guns with various size needles)? I want to
play/learn on the cheap.

I was at HF over the weekend. Their HVLP guns had a standard 1/4"
disconnect. Dow the 'HV' and 'LP' part really work through such a
small connection?

I assume you are talking a conversion gun. Not the same thing. The HVLP
conversion gun is better than the conventional gun in reducing
overspray, but it's not 100% up to the task.

I like my HF HVLP guns, the $9 and $25 guns. The $25 has a finer set of
holes, so it can deliver a finer mist. The $9 just does it all and
really well.

But I thought for $299 that the 6002 was an upgrade and cheaper than the
5000 series.

They're certainly not advertised as "conversion guns". I bought one
of these:

The HF guns I looked at the other day had 1/4" quick disconnects, too.
Have you tried latex with your setup?

But I thought for $299 that the 6002 was an upgrade and cheaper than the

It sure looks like a good deal! The 5000 series is single-stage,
isn't it?

No, I use it for woodworking, and machine rebuilding not painting. So
all solvent based.

Yes it is. The advantage is less heat transfer to the material I believe.
