All,
I'm trying to figure out how to get a smooth, professional painted finish on my kitchen cabinets. I have HVLP guns (Husky Gravity Feed Composite HVLP Spray Gun and PORTER-CABLE PSH1 Gravity Feed Spray Gun) and an air compressor that can deliver 4 CFM @ 90 PSI, 5 CFM @ 40 PSI. I just have hobby projects at home, but I want to get the most professional finish I can.
I sprayed primer on a set of cabinets I made, but the paint came out super slow with larger droplets. I tried to experiment with thinning it down, but have learned I could do much better with that.
Is it just not smart to try and use my air compressor/HVLP gun? I could use an airless setup or something like the Wagner Spraytech 0529010 FLEXiO 590 Handheld HVLP Paint Sprayer. I'm also thinking about getting something like the FUJI Spray Semi-Pro 2 Bottom Feed HVLP System, but I really would like to be able to use my air compressor.
I would love any thoughts on what system I should be using so I can read up and try to perfect my technique.
