Are you looking for a dedicated HVLP set up with gun and air
supply?
Do you own a compressor?
Do you hope to spray latex paint?
I have used a dedicated system a few times. I found the one I
used heavy and awkward. It is an older model
American Turbine. The reduced overspray made it the gun of
choice, but did establish a lust to own one.
Because I have a compressor, I bought an HVLP conversion gun. I
have not used a good one (Sata, etc). Mine is a Chaiwanese
wonder. The handle says Astro. I have been pleased with the
results. I still own a
Binks conventional cup gun, but have not used it since the Astro
(the overspray is tremendous by comparison). I also own a Graco
airless, but that is for a different type work.
It is surprising how often I use a brush or a can of spray paint
rather than having to clean a spray gun.

I'm hearing some good things about the new minijet4 HVLP from Sata
http://www.sata.com/Produkte/produkt.jsp?index=01-51

Price seems reasonable for that kind of quality.
It might very well be my next gun. With the adaptor, changing it from
gravity fed to pressure pot-feed, you can spray upside down and sideways.
Btw.. I think 6-800 dollars is stupid-money for a spray-gun...even a
full-time professional one.
