I shoot some doors and fenders and do a little blending with base/clear. I have a cheap Harbor Freight HVLP that does a fair job on small pieces like jambs and such. But larger areas takes forever because a wider spray pattern leaves dry streaks at the pattern's edges.
A better gun will help here won't it? What gun would you recommend? Especially considering price. Best bang for the buck kind of thing.
Thanks!



If the pattern is to wide you should be able to adjust it narrower. The painter at my shop does all his cars with a gun that he got in a set of 3 for $80. A expensive gun doesnt make a good painter, LOL



While I kind of agree thats not always true. Some guns atomize the paint alot better than others and you get a better overall finish and less chance of unwanted blemishes in your paint (i.e. dry spots, tiger stripes, polka dots....). Of course a lot of this depends on the paint to, things like color, metallic vs. nonmetallic and yadda yadda yadda...all play a role.
