I am looking at purchasing an HVLP sprayer and have seen spray guns going for $29 to $290 or more. Has anyone used a Vaper or Titan brand of gun? They run about $80-90 for a two gun kit whereas an entry level Devilbliss runs about $99 for the same? I want a good quality gun but I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars if I can get a reasonable gun for priming, suspension and part painting. I'm going to leave the final body painting to a pro.
Thanks for any feedback or recommendations. |

HVLP was mandated by the EPA for the industry to lower harmful emmissions. As were water based paints. I am sure modern HVLP guns are much better than the early ones, but I still don't feel they atomize the paint as well. I have a hard enough time trying to get rid of mottling as is. From what I have seen unless they are controlled by law the guys I know will shoot standard High pressure guns. Gravity feed is the way to go though, whether it be HVLP or standard guns.
