Harbor Freight, the store I love to hate, has had a sale going on for several weeks now. I've been keeping an eye out for HVLP paint sprayers, but nothing really came far enough down in price. Instead, I found a bottom-feed 32oz sprayer for $9.99 and a gravity-feed 4oz detail gun price matched for $7.49. A lot of people in a bike forum I frequent complain about not being able to match the factory color on their engine side cases after they crash and scratch them up(Honda doesn't supply a code and it's a powdercoat anyway), so I figured this would be a cheap opportunity to use rattle-can enamel mixed to a one-off color. I also thought that I could use the 32oz gun to paint my car later on.
I'm kinda embarrassed to say that I haven't tried the sprayers out yet. Anyone have any newbies-need-to-know tips for using this type? No one seems to like non-HVLP guns, so recommendations usually consist of "get a better gun" or "get an HVLP."
