Has anyone used the Harbor Freight #91772 HVLP spray gun and compresor system?

Ask over at Auto Body Store forum (or something like that). Some HF tools are actually good quality, you just have to be careful and check it out.

I am using a HF HVLP gun for my primer and ZR application. Works great.

Iv'e used some of the cheapo guns over the years (not the HLVP's) and they actually spray pretty good. 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.
