I'm still fooling around with rust on my 914 but eventually I'll be spraying stuff and was wondering if anyone has had any experience or knows anything about HVLP painting using one of the compressor-less guns like the Earlex 5000. Below is a link for it at the Eastwood site:

I have a compressor but its not big enough to handle spraying and I thought a turbine specifically built for HVLP and a matching HLVP gun might be a good way to go. Eastwood is advertising it for car painting but its been hard to find any review on the Internet to guage how good this is going to be. I'd like to spray mostly primer but if I things are going well I may attempt to do the color and clear coats as as well.

Eastwood's price is $399.99 but it can be had for $100 less to give you an idea of the price.

Any feedback would be appreciated.
