Awhile back I broke down and bought a HVLP from Harbor Freight. I got to use it today coating a 700 and a benelli barrel for some friends.
These are the best coatings I have done yet. I have been using an airbrush up until this point. I have to say if you are thinking of doing some coating an HVLP is the smart choice and for me it is easier to use than the airbrush.
I used plain acetone to play with adjusting the spray and pattern by spraying it on some cardboard, once I had it where I wanted it I started on the small parts first then the barrel and barreled action. This is so much smoother and faster than the airbrush it is ridiculous.
I'll post some pics when they come out of the oven in the morning.
