What are you going to use an HVLP gun for?
Are you painting a 1:48 scale AC-130 Spectre? Big Smile [:D]

Seriously, the only really good brand I know of is Sata and they are very expensive. A friend told me that the ones made by Porter Cable and sold at Lowe's hardware stores here in the U.S. are very well made and cheap too.
Besides that I don't really know too much about them.

i have a Husky HVLP gravity feed gun that works great for spraying the cabinets that i build. it will even spray acrylic latex thinned 50/50. i wouldnt think it would work for modelling though Big Smile [:D]. are you painting murals or something? be more specific on the use and youll get a better response my friend. later.

Sorry!! i will more explicit... (my bad english...uffff) Well, i don´t paint planes, i paint model cars, you can see some of my works, complete or in course, at http://public.fotki.com/peppp61. Some weeks ago, in one pause of my job, i find a message in another automotive model forum about HVLP minispray guns, for clear coat application. I know also some modellist work with this for the final clearcoat with excel results. But... i don´t remember what forum it is!!!! so, i inquira here , curiosity, no more...
If i find the forum again, i re-post the message. Thank you,

I just looked at your page and your work looks excellent. I wouldn't change anything that you're doing. Your gloss coats look very good, much better than I can lay down as yet, though I'm working on it.

Don't worry about your English, you are much more understandable than many native speakers Smile [:)]
