I am ready to paint my D-14 Allis and am considering buying a HVLP paint gun. What are the watch outs and benefits? Is one brand better that the others? How much would a decent one cost? Thanks for the help.

I have a Sharpe Platinum gravity feed HVLP gun and would never go back to a conventional high pressure gun. I think my dog could lay down a smooth coat of paint with this gun if he could hold it in his paw. Also the gravity feed feature is great, it is more trouble free than the syphon guns and lets you use all your paint instead of dumping a little out of the cup everytime. A Devilbliss Finishline II is a good gun and costs $150 at the site below.

How about the ones TSC sells? They appear to be self contained units, maybe Cambell-Hausfeld I think. Are those any good? I probably would'nt paint more than 3-5 Times a year.

When I was shopping turbine systems I spoke with Campbell-Hausfeld as they're half the price of everybody else. They suggested I would NOT be happy with their results. Durability wasn't the issure, quality was. I wanted a furniture quality finish and to be able to spray every type of finish, not just paint. I ended up with a turbine system from TIP, made by Apollo, I think. They manufacture their own now.

One reason I wanted a turbine, in addition to being even lower pressure than the HVLP compressor guns, was freedom from being hooked by hose to my compressor. I can spray anywhere. Just finished my wife's van (base & clear coat), sprayed outside on a calm bug-free morning. She's a happy woman. And you know what that means for me...

I would be happy with a factory quality paint job. I would only paint a few times a year, I might use clear coat other than that nothing special. Cost is a big factor for me.

If cost is a major factor, you don't want a turbine. Scroll down to Mark Kw's 2/10 comments about a $40 Harbor Freight HVLP gun. He loved it.

I notice Harbor Freight has a DeVilbiss HVLP gun for 150 bucks* also. It looks identical to the "FinishLine II" model, but appears to have a white plastic paint cup instead of aluminum and comes with 1.6 and 1.8mm tips, rather than the 1.4 and 1.6mm tips of the FinishLine II model.

Any thoughts on the plastic versus metal cup and the tip sizes (for spraying industrial enamel and/or 2 part paints such a Sherwin Williams Polane, on machine parts) ?

*but hey, there's a "$5 off" coupon too !

I have that ad here and I think that is a Finishline gun but it may be the original verson which had more plastic parts than the finishline II and some people questioned it's longivity. The 1.4 tip would be right for most topcoats and the bigger ones would be for primers. I have both a plastic and metal cup and don't really see a difference between the two, the plastic one may be a little lighter if you were holding it all day.

Why not get real gutsy and use a powder coat gun? Much more durable and chemical proof.

Wow, that's interesting...I had no idea anyone was selling such an inexpensive power coat system (cept for the oven) Sure would be interesting to hear from someone who actually used this El Cheapo model to see if it's worth messin with.

The HVLP stands for high volume low pressure, they use the volume of air to atomize the paint instead of high pressure which creates less of a cushion of air against the painting surface which in turn lets more paint stick to the surface instead of going into the air. Conventional paint guns get about 30% of the paint on the surface and HVLP will about double that. Some states such as California require HVLP because of the lower overspray.

I recently painted a Ford 2N. I am no painter (and make no claims to be one). However, the Craftsman HPLV gun that I bought did a beautiful, professional looking job. I have done some painting in the past (nothing to brag about), and there is no comparison between the two. I will take the HPLV gun any day (remember, I'm no veteran at this, so the pro's may disagree).

Your mileage may vary...

i do not own one and do not know any good brands but i used one with a kind of blower motor in a box that you sling on your shoulder, i loved the fact or no overspray, right now i use a Sharp and like it because it is quiet and accurate, but the hvlp is definatly something to consider, also if you have the option spend the money on a teflon coated cup it will save you lots of cleanup time and thinner.
