    Thanks McCreed, I'd certainly like to hear more about what you've learnt over the last couple of years.

    It looks like Phrozin's favourite guns are both HVLP. I get the impression that a compressor to suit an HVLP gun is going to be expensive, and take up a lost of space for something that I don't use that frequently. I was hoping a touch up gun and a small compressor was a viable option, really.

    Just saw this after posting "War & Peace" above...

    You might find a small direct drive compressor that would be suitable for a reasonable price. They're a bit noisy, but you only need 18-30 PSI (consistant) for an HVLP. I think I was running my mini HVLP at 18 PSI for spraying poly last time.
