Ripthorn Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Hey, my wife got me the same one! I can't wait for spring to come around so that I can start spraying the three builds I have going on right now. Of course, we are having record snowfall and such here in syracuse, so it's going to be a while yet, I think. Still, this is going to make finishing much more fun, hopefully easier.

SwedishLuthier Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 The HVLP guns have their definitive pros like the minimum of lacquer waste and the more or less non-existing over spray. I have seen a IRL demo of one gun were the demo guy stood in a tuxedo spraying a bright red paint! I had one before I got myself a compressor and a separate spray booth with proper ventilation and I have made quite a few guitars with it. The cons are that you might need to do a bit more of level sanding. Oh, BTW my comments are based on me using water based finishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds very interesting..less overspray = less walking through airborn particles...has to be healthi"er" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpcrash Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Nice present John! I've been interested in this one, but sticking to my traditional HVLP guns until a surplus of money comes along. Please let me know how this works for you, esp. on anything clear.
