    Looking for advice on a paint gun

    Looking for a paint gun/system to paint my deck and other stuff. Any guns to recommend or stay away from? I will be putting on an oil based stain. Thanks for any advice -

    Take a look at the Graco X5 Magnum, its on my wish list. Available at the BORG at about $300.

    Menards has the X5 on sale until the 28th for $249.
    Good small unit for a home owner.

    I made the mistake of trying to get by with a Wagner - -pretty much a waste of $200.

    Wonderful man, terrible cabinet maker...

    I own the Wagner Flexio 890 HVLP and like it. I know it's not intended for "fine" finishing but I was able to use it to spray water base clear coat on my big green egg table with great results. It comes with 2 different guns, one for thicker paints and one or thin finishing. I was able to spray acrylic paints with the larger gun without having to thin it and I used the detail gun for the water base clear coat. At just under $200 I think it's worth it to have around the house. However, I do want to get one of the higher end spray gun dedicated to woodworking.
