I need advice on purchasing a spray gun setup.

What type(s) of finish are you planning on spraying?

woodcraft sells some inexspesive HVLPs that work pretty well for low cost.

I have used several different types of systems. A good one that will do everything is the Eralex Spray Station Pro HVLP system. It’s easy to use and clean. No need for an air compressor. The only down side I found is that it’s a little noisy and the hose is awkward to handle.

Paul, I’ve used both conventional spray guns with a compressor and HVLP. HVLP is a nice way to go. Small, easy to use, no need for an air compressor and less overspray. Something worth checking into. I still use both, but if I was to set up with only one, it would be HVLP.

Huff, I have to agree. I have used HVLP and now prefer it over high pressure. High pressure has its place, but I think it is HVLP hands down. It is just amazing finishing stair parts and not having to worry about monumental overspray.
