Spray gun recommendations

I need to get a spray gun(s) for stain and finish (urethane) for
"recreational" use (non-commercial,. hobby projects)
Your recomendations on best model and supplier would be appreciated.
I've never had one. I thinking of this now because I inherited a nice
Hitachi compressor and some nailers, and the compressor could be used
to drive the sprayers.
I'm doing some remodelling and those egg crate grille vents are a
terror to hand stain and finish.

Thanks
Jerry

Hey Jerry,

Seems like everybody is hanging out at Lowes.

I have the Porter Cable PSH1, also a HVLP spray gun. It works so good it
makes me look good. Fit and finish of the tool could not be better.

http://www.porter-cable.com/index.asp?e=547&p=2641

Think I gave 80 bucks for it on Amazon.

The Husky gravity feed HVLP at HD is a great gun. It does as good as my
Binks 2000. There are 2 models and I can't tell the difference between the
2.

Their manual doesn't mention it, but on the parts list it is labelled as a #1
tip.
I will take my gun to my paint tech..see what he thinks.

Good question. I will look for the booklet that came with the gun.

Looks like Binks equipment..but who knows?

I'll get back to you.

HVLP guns will probably use lots and lots and lots of air (High Velocity
Low Pressure). Compressors typically used to drive nailers may do 3 or
4 SCFM; the HVLP gun could suck 11 SCFM or more.

If you're painting lots of small items (as in short bursts of product
application with lots of nice pauses for the compressor to recover) it
may work OK, but for any substantial area you can get real frustrated.
