Wagner HVLP Conversion Gun

[Larry Robinson]

Has anyone used this gun with Latex paints and water based polyurethanes with success? Is it worth the $129.00 price?

Thanks

Absolutely worth the price...it's a very nice gun. In fact, it's priced very low, IMHO. I have two...one with the 1 qt attached cup and one with the 2 qt remote pot.

Water borne acrylics, including those that incorporate polyurethane resins spray great with the base gun and the standard #3 projector set. To spray heavy material, such as latex paint, you'll need to also purchase the #4 projector set. I bought the kit with the maintenance parts that included a full range of projector sets as well as the wrench that makes cleaning convenient. I you don't buy that kit, do buy the wrench separately.

I have a review of this gun on my web site and am also happy with Gleem Paint as a supplier. Nathan is a great fellow and very supportive.

I have two of them as well, and a 2.5 gallon pressure pot. They work great for WB finishes, enamels and poly. I have the #4 tip, but can't comment on the performance, as I haven't used it for latex.

I did end up getting a larger compressor to reduce the cycle time from my pancake compressor. It will run off of a pancake, but if you have alot of area to cover, consider a larger compressor.
