Okay, just to qualify this statement, I've never used a "real" HVLP gun before, so I can't compare the results to a high dollar system.
I bought the HF turbine HVLP a month or so ago and used it last night for the first time on a real project to spray Behlen Solar Lux dye on an ottoman I'm building. I have used this dye before with disastrous results because I was wiping on. The result was awesome with this sprayer. I'm totally sold on HVLP sprayers!
Anyway, I picked it up at HF for $64 after presenting an ad and having a coupon. Rockler has the same sprayer for $100. And now Woodcraft has also picked up the sprayer and is selling it for $100. The bottom line is, if you're like me and you want to get in to the spraying world with minimal investment, this is a great way to start!
