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.

Never shoot primer with a good gun.



Can you elaborate ? Is it just a waste of money to use a nice tool on a less demanding job ? Does the primer mess up the gun ?

On a related note, are used guns a viable option ? Or do they get trashed ?

I'm in the same boat as the original poster : think I'll (maybe) do primer myself, then hand it off to the pros.
