HVLP spray gun question...
Do I really need an expensive spray gun or can I use a cheap spray gun. The local autoparts store has a HVLP gun for around $100. All I plan on using it for is spraying the body with primer before it gets painted.

Yes you can just make sure that it has the proper fluid tip for the primer you are using to get the proper film build. For instance PPG k36primer calls for a 1.4-1.6. But when spraying paint and clear better get a good quality gun because it atomizes both the paint and clear a lot better. To find out what tip,just ask the paint store where you buy the primer from they will know.

Thanks for the reply. I ordered some self etching primer from www.eastwood.com but there isn't any tip size instructions on the can. I will e-mail them to see what they recommend.
There are some nasty chemicals in etching primer,  I just read the warning label.
