I have been reading for hours! Reviews of hvlp, turbine, airless, etc sprayers. Can anyone with experience please advise me what would work best for me. What I do is restore vintage furniture. Yes I use paint. Please don't throw stuff at me,,,,I don't paint over beautiful wood antiques. I refinish the wood in that case. Think 1960-70's big chunky wood (sometimes fake wood) dressers. Now imagine them in brightly colored enamel (cant use lacquer here). I like to use SW enamel or BM Advance or Aura paint , usually in a semi-gloss. Sometimes I use Behr latex ( I know,,stop throwing stuff at me:icon_cheesygrin
I also use Deft acrylic top coats.
So, question is,,,"What would be the best sprayer for me without spending tons? Up until now I have been brushing everything, but these big dressers (I also do mid century furniture. Usually two-tone where I paint half and refinish the wood on half) take a lot of time to brush. I'm good at it, but it's time consuming. Also, brushing on the top coat just isn't working anymore. I want to start spraying my top coats.
So,,,,a sprayer that works for top coat acrylic finishes and one that works for paint. I do have a compressor but I would rather use a turbine over that. I know that airless is better for the latex. Just wondering what you guys would recommend based on what I do.
I work out of my garage that is full of projects waiting to be finished.
to give you an idea, here are some of the projects I do for customers: All of these were brushed and took forever!
