Some HF tools are actually good quality, you just have to be careful and check it out. | | | | | | Anonymous Unregistered | | Anonymous Unregistered | I am using a HF HVLP gun for my primer and ZR application.

I know the real body guys would laugh if I showed them some of mine but, I don't spray very much either. For primers I can't see using a $200 to 400 gun.
The real trick is going to be the body work under the paint, the painting conditions and the right solvents as well as the finish work.
I have a nice Binks 69 that I used to paint motorcycles with. It is smaller than a Binks #7, and not a good gun for a car. As far as that goes, many of the cheapo guns (I don't know about the HLVP's) have parts that interchange with the binks #7. | | |
