I bought but sent back a Devilbiss Finishline 2 gun. I didn't like the plastic parts that are used through the painting system of the gun. I did keep the baggie 'liner' setup though to use in the gun I traded the devilbiss for. I've come to find those liners to be a big PITA. Nice idea that sometimes won't puncture right, that will fold over their outlet, and are not that easy to get out of the gun after use without making a mess. MUCH easier to use the old way of spraying out with solvent or laquer thinner to clean the gun.

When looking at CFM delivery of a compressor don't forget to take into account that delivery volume differs at different output pressures. A compressor rated to give only 5 CFM at 90 psi will give more than that at the 25-30 psi HVLP inlet pressure.

Brownbear, you use the terms HVLP and LPHV. What's the difference between high volume low pressure and low pressure high volume?
