Re: Eastwood HVLP Spray Gun?

["Gary H." <spigot2039@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Eastwood usually sells good stuff. 

I think you need to keep in mind the gun's pressure requirements and be sure you have corresponding compressor.
And use the proper tip for the purpose, e.g., 1.8 for primer, or 1.4 for thin primer, 1.4 or 1.2 for topcoats and clears. 

Here are a couple alternatives that seem to be fair values:
