   I had been spraying oils, stains and finishes for several years when I finally broke down and tried an HVLP rig for the first time.  There's a learning curve involved, especially for something with as much flat surface as interior doors.  I'm not sure I'd want that to be the first project I sprayed with unfamiliar equipment.

   Go to http://www.homesteadfinishing.com

   There is a forum there, with all the advice you could ever ask for regarding HVLP.

   Accu-spray makes the best guns I have ever used

   as far as the turbine, Apollo is a good one, and Fuji is too.

   I had a Fuji for years and loved it. It was a 3-stage.

   Just didn't use it enough to justify it collecting dust so I sold it to good old AndrewD.

   I'd recommend Fuji.

   have been useing an accuspray for about 13 years, the turbine thrashed after about 5 years, i bought a lamb motor from granger for about a 140. bucks, it fit the case with about ten minutes of work and have been spraying ever since. Great gun and a nice set up for back work.

   I've had good experiences with the Graco 3 stage I used at my last job.  If I were to buy another I'd get a 4 stage unit.

   builder,

   I have both a top line greyco and a fuji 4 stage, i like the greyco gun better and the turbine is quieter and easier to service ( filter cleanings) but aside from that you will be happy with either, find which one you can get stuff for locally and go with that one.
