If you already have an air compressor, you might be happier with the =
"professional" gun kit (about $80). See =
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=3D215 =
This setup will give you a lot more freedom to position the gun, and the =
larger cup gives you more time spraying and less time filling.
Be sure you use an air drier unless you have an "oil-free" compressor. =
Also use a clean air hose - you don't want to carry tiny droplets of oil =
into your new paint.

Actually, I've had a couple of other builders tell me that they got =
their paint gun at Harbor Freight and were very well satisfied with the =
results. The real difference comes with practicing with whatever =
equipment you have decided to use. Paint your hangar or get some big =
cardboard boxes and paint them up nice!

Subject: REFLECTOR:HVLP spray gun
I went to my local Harbor Freight retail store today and saw a "High =
Volume Low Pressure Complete Spray Kit" for only $99.99. They have =
another one listed on their website for only $69.99. =
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=3D44677 =
I'm not sure if it's the same one or not.
I'm only going to paint one airplane with it and probably never use =
it again. I'm not looking to get "show plane" results from it. I would =
be happy with a decent paint job and that's all. I may just use it for =
primer and have a professional do the finish coat after I've flown the =
plane.
Does anyone have any experience with one of these "cheap" sprayers? =
