Much cheaper than getting into the earlex. And it came with 2 year replacement warantee. My HF sprayer started to fall apart after a year of spraying so I bought another.

I just bought this unit from Highland Woodworking on sale for 250.00. it was because of you and Charles Neil I took the plunge. I had the one from rockler and felt it was time to upgrade.

I chose satin. I chose this on one piece because I wanted the added durability of poly and I can control the level of gloss my liking.

You do not need to worry about reducing and flow, and you will achieve a awesome glass like finish. The material used has a massive effect on the spray process and finished product, no it will not spray itself and you need to practice good form but it will sure make even an average sprayer look great For those that are looking to spray latex paint with this or any HVLP system I have a suggestion – Use a waterborne pigmented lacquer such as ML Campbell Agualente, SW Kem Aqua, Valspar Zenith, Target 6500.

Woodcraft sells it with both a 2 & 1.5 needle which seems to cover most applications. Other than spray cans, this is my first experience spraying. I sprayed GF milk paint thinned with some water and Floetrol although GF advised that I only needed water. It came out great. I need to work on my technique a bit but I impressed myself with how well it turned out. Cleanup was very easy. Again I followed your video but also briefly glanced at those instructions you so carelessly tossed aside. (<: Thanks for a a great website and reviews that we layman can appreciate. Neill Marc,
