Bob,
I switched to HVLP and will never go back! All of the promises the
salesman made were true, especially the one about overspray. I have a
Craftsman with a remote 2 Qt. pot, and it's so easy to use, turn the gun any
way you want, under the dash, behind the steering wheel, and so on.
If you do a lot of painting, I would definately reccomend a top of the
line gun. The one I have is adequate for the 10 to 12 trucks I paint a
year.
Rick
