Can you tell me the model of the HF HVLP cheapy that you're talking about?
There are many on their site.
Thanks

Wow, the prices for these have really come down.

This one (above) is good, because it will work at any angle. I have not used
the exact model, though. Plenty good for primer, and probably good enough for
finish. The gun body material is unknown, but it has all of the controls for
the best spray control. I think it is my first choice.

This is similar to the one I have used, but you have to be able to rotate your
work, because it can not spray upside down.

This one is the most costly, and reads like it should be the best.

This one has all the needed controls, and is smaller, but will not work
upside -down. The smaller size could be a good thing for getting into smaller
places. It reads as though it should spray a smaller pattern. (lower air
consumption)

High cost, but the name is one of the most trusted in spray equipment.

Another interesting choice in a smaller unit.

You are right. Lots of choices.

I think I would go with the first choice. Some of the other units do not have
as many controls, and that is one of the biggest keys to get the pattern you
need. I do like the spray lines instead of cup on the gun, so you can spray in
any orientation.

I don't need a new unit, but I am tempted to get this one. I don't have one
with the fluid line, instead of cup. I did find I could spray in many different
positions by putting a few elbows and couplings together, so the gun could go
upside down, and keep the cup level. It is kinda' a work-around, but it works
reasonably well for me. g

Could be a good choice.
