There won't be a great difference in the finish which each gun will produce, the main difference comes down to personal preference. HVLP guns can be more difficult to spray roofs and stuff with because of the can being on the bottom of the gun - causes problems with obscure angles when the can is nearly empty it won't spray any paint, and secondly it can simply get in the way. With a gravity feed it's on top and out of the way - some people say this makes them top heavy, but having sprayed two cars with gravity feed guns I can't say it's a real issue for me. You can clearly see when it runs dry and it needs topping up, which tends to be fairly often, but I don't believe HVLP guns to have a huge advantage over this anyway. You won't need to spend a fortune on a good gun, I think I spent <$150 on mine and it's easily got me through two cars, and will last me a long while yet! Your compressor sounds very ample for what you will be doing, make sure you set up a water trap on it! Dale [Report message to a moderator]
