Quoted: One time use? Cheap Harbor Freight gun. Use it and throw it away. +1 Dollar-for-dollar Harbor Freight is decent stuff. We don't buy alot of their stuff because there are better options for heavy-duty tools that will take a beating every day but for what you're doing, I agree with VacaDuck. |

HVLP guns take a ton of air. Whatever you buy, be sure to check the consumption of the gun against the output of your compressor or you won't get good performance from any gun.

I will be using this with a Husky 60 gal 135 psi max compressor. I hope that will be big enough to do the job effectively. Also, I wouldn't say just one time use only. I would like to be able to use this gun down the road to occasionally use it for applying finish to guns, stain to wood stocks, and maybe a little furniture painting. I guess I just want something that is a versatile sprayer and provides the best bang for the buck.

I would look into renting a quality gun. You won't be happy with the results from a cheap one. I spray trim and cabinets with a commercial airless sprayer with the pressure turned down and fine point tips. Works for me.

Granted sometimes it makes sense to rent but I usually prefer to buy something instead. |

Can you thin down the mix for what you're doing enough to use an automotive quality gun like a SATA?

I want to refinish the cabinets in my kitchen. I need to purchase a budget friendly HVLP gun. I have a compressor that I will use with the gun. Does anyone know of a good budget friendly HVLP gun that would be good for spraying cabinets? I got the DeWalt HVLP sprayer, which does not need a seperate compressor. I used it to refinish my kitchen cabinets, which went from an old, stained solid cherry to studio white with glass panes. I had never refinished anything, but the DeWalt gave an absolutely flawless finish. I used Ben Moore paint, three coats, sanded very lightly between coats, and thinned the paint with roughly 10% water. I would buy another one in a second, as I have gotten compliments from every single person who views my kitchen remod for the first time. Have patience, and you'll be rewarded with a showroom kitchen. |

I use the sponge rollers and have had great results. Just as long as you sand in between to get rid of the highs to even it out with the lows.
I also have the sprayer from harbor freight. Take it apart after you use it, clean it thoroughly and it will last a long time. Just be sure to experiment by thinning out your paint and seeing what works. Don't want to practice on your finished project. Good luck. |
