[TheForge] sprayer question

[Craig Schaefer]

I normally use HVLP and conventional air pressure guns for automotive 
work (not my real job) and just recently tried a wagner airless.
All I can say is DAMN, there is a lot of  overspray that does no good.  
I was spraying louvered shutters and probably used 4x the paint that
I would have with a brush, but then I was done in 15 minutes as opposed 
to several hours.
The one I used was a hand-held 2000psi model, didn't have a HP rating, 
but it couldn't have been much.
What are you painting?
