Hi,
Which are the more common brands of HVLP systems for the consumer?
I've seen a lot Wagner and Earlex.
Is there any other brand carrying inexpensive HVLP systems?
Now, I'm trying to figure out the bare minimum for a weekend hobbyist.
From Wagner, I think the Control Spray Plus is the minimum since it's the one that can spray lacquer, varnish, poly, etc.
From Earlex, I'd like to think that the HV3500 Spray Station is the one.
Now, for some reason, the Earlex system looks to me like a little bit more "serious" than the Wagner model. Though, Wagner include both a big plastic and a metalic cup. (may be it's just the grey color).
There's a also that famous Rockler/Woodcraft, but right now there's a post from someone having problems with that system.
Also, I found out that it must be a very cheap Chinese import since I've found that rebranded at least in a couple of places:

http://www.goni.us/para_carpinteria_y_ebanisteria_1090.html
Is the same, right?
Since it's in the same range of price of the other two with a brand, I don't see a point of considering this one.
What do you think?
