I agree completely. Although the American made guns such as Lexaire are
nice, they don't impress me as being worth over $300. just for the gun.
I really like the turbine powered units but I would not recommend the
cheap units unless they have at least a 10amp rating. Note that the
"latest greatest" units are now 3 stage turbines (high end central
vacuums) that draw I believe 12 amps. I might get a chance to look at
the Princess Auto unit tomorrow but they have advertised it a number of
times at slightly over $100. There is little doubt that the turbine hvlp
saved me a few hundred dollars in wasted paint and it was relatively
forgiving and easy to use. Never had a single drop of water come out of
the gun.

Hi Brad: For that kind of money it sure is worth a try. I found that any
quality paint job is more in the skill of the painter then the equipment as
a good painter generally knows how to compensate for less then perfect
equipment. A little off topic but when did you get your kit and how far
along are you, also what engine have you decided on? I am curious as it is
only three later then the one I have. Thanks. - Bob J - Rebel 192/731

Good Morning,
I see that Princess Auto has a HVLP sprayer package on sale this week for
$ 99.00
Includes the turbine and spray gun and 15' of hose.
My question is, does anyone have experience with these units. Specs match
the units from Hobby Air
but price is considerably cheaper. It is Power Fist brand so longevity is
questionable but if it works......
Thanks,
Brad (R195)
