Re: general purpose paint/stain sprayer

I painted about 60ft of fence with one of those purple Harbor Freight HVLP guns. Connected a couple lengths of air hose together and ran it straight from my compressor. I twisted the air cap 90 degrees to change the spray pattern and made about 2 or 3 passes up and down on the fence, just like Mr. Miyagi taught me. I didn't use a roller after.

I used about 4 gallons of stain to do both sides of the fence. very little overspray around the fence. After I was done I just threw the gun away rather than clean it. 3 years later fence still looks great.
