Bang for Buck HVLP setup?

[JeremyM]

Ok all, let's hit this one again.

I'm considering the HVLP world again. I want to know what people are liking in HVLP's. I'd love to find out that there is a super cheap one from HF that is just as good as other ones.

I'm looking at a dual use tool that I can use for wood working, but also for some specialty painting of things on the job for little spots that I need to apply a very fine mist.

I welcome all information!

HF does have a turbine HVLP kit that does great but is geared towards larger jobs. If you have a large compressor at you disposal (@ 12 cfm or better at 90 psi) a conversion type touchup gun could be the ticket HF does have a few models but I don't have experience with them for even smaller jobs I use a Air Brush and HVLP isn't a factor in that arena.

I have HF gun (43430) and I'm very satisfied with it. Some guy on woodnet ran tests on it and it only draws around 3.5 SCFM. I run mine on a Porter Cable pancake compressor with a 10 Gallon aux tank like the woodnet guy did. It cycles about 50%; and I do have to occasionally pause spraying.

Check out Gleem Paint Co

Check out the below link. The company answered a bunch of questions for me and were very helpful in my decision making. I bought this gun and am well pleased with the results.
