I'm in the market for a paint sprayer. I'm leaning toward a low-end HVLP, h opefully not exceeding $300-ish. Lowe's has three models; HV1900USG, HV2900 USG and HV3900USG ($90 to $150).

Hey big Phil, I have the Sears Campbell Hausfeld one. I like it a lot. Easy to use, easy to adjust. Works good for me.

Right - gravity feed. I heard they use all the paint but are typically pint -capacity, whereas the siphon feeds leave some at the bottom and are usuall y quart capacity. I still would prefer the gravity feed. I also just found the Fuji line of Mini-Mite 3-stage and 4-stage systems (s ee http://hvlp.net/ and http://hvlpsales.com/). Isn't it funny how you shel l out a few thousand for the covering kit and paint, and then try to get ch eap when it comes to buying the equipment to apply it? - Phil --- On Mon, 12/26/11, David Kulp wrote: From: David Kulp Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Paint sprayer recommendations?

I have a low end Graco unit that came from Aircraft Spruce probably 20 years ago. Still works great. Have shot everything from Imron and Awlgrip to staged car paint and clearcoat to water based latex paint over the years. I=99ve always used the conventional underslung quart paint container. Recollection is it works fine either pressure or suction depending on viscosity. Get a good long hose to get more cool down and lots of clearance from the explosive environment. With urethanes I use a poor mans pressure breather.....kitchen exhaust fan with 50 feet of pool vac hose plumbed to a cheap face mask. Again lots of clearance from the spray environment to the air intake. I don=99t understand the sales pitches for more expensive 2 and 3 stage units....Inside the HVLP box there is a very standard Lamb/Ametek house central vacuum motor/ fan at least on the two units I have looked at. Single stage should work just fine with a moderate length of hose... Bob From: Phil Sent: Monday, December 26, 2011 10:24 AM Subject: Kolb-List: Paint sprayer recommendations?
