I'm sure this'll create some discussion, but I was wondering what (besides

hundreds of $s) is the real difference in HVLP guns on the market.  The SATA

seems very popular, and I know you get what you pay for, but exactly how is

it different than the $100 HVLP guns that look similar from a distance at

the auto parts store or Lowe's?



Thanks, and sorry if it's deemed a stupid question.

The biggest difference is in the precision of the air metering

circuitry, spring tensions and quality of adjustment in the spray

pattern.  The differences do not really show themselves until cleanup

and adjustment after exposure to chemicals and paint materials.  I have

some guns that look battle wary yet throw a perfect pattern after 30

years and I have some Chinese made which look gorgeous after 30 days and

lay an atrocious pattern.



The ability to lay a uniform line with no edge fade or heavier

application of topcoat is not visual by looking at the gun but rather

the applied paint on the job.  The pleasure of pulling a trigger for a

12 hour episode versus blisters after two is a strange measure of

difference.

Thanks John, good info.  It sounds like you have quite a bit of experience,

do you also favor the SATA guns or do you prefer something else?

Marcus:



I have a SATA that I bought sometime back. If you wanted to give one a

shot "pun intended" or use it in the meantime you are welcome to it. I

am just getting ready to install the gear then engine then... and don't

see needing it for some time. May give us a reason to get together and

compare work.
