I am looking at a cheap method of spraying finishes. Predominantly lacquer and stain but I would like to remain flexible (to the extent of spraying acrylic paints and enamels if possible).
I have heard how good HVLP is compared to HP. But as I don't have a compressor (and yes I realise how cheap they are now) and don't really hava a place to store it, I am looking at the 'HVLP' Wagner W600 (bit like an updated Little Beaver) at $150 but they can't handle very thick liquids. So I was also looking at the Wagner W180 P (also about $150) as one of the 'airless' models that can do about 2100psi ... supposebly OK as it can do more than the recommended 1800psi. However I have also found (on the web ... an Oz site) a Wagner W400SE which has 4 speed settings and is more powerful again ... meant to be the ants pants especially for an airless (at about $270). As there is very little info out there WRT these models (are they too recent?) ...
Has anyone got commments (good or bad) about any of these models or even systems?
