| + | HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure)is the way to go when buying a spray gun. The prices have come down to resonable levels, and the wasted paint by overspray (Not to mention the mess) makes a syphon-feed unit a poor choice for the home hobby sprayer. | ||

| + | Remember that high-solid primers like high-build type 2k urethanes require a larger (1.7mm) tip and setup internally than a regular paint gun. 3-gun sets are available for as little as $100 that include a primer gun wit hthe larger tip, a paint/clear gun, and a 1.0mm tipped touch-up gun. Cutting (wet sanding) and buffing make up fpr a lot of shortcomings in inexpensive HVLP guns. So determining which is more valuable, your money or your time, is a determining factor in choosing a paint gun. | ||
