[Clayart] HVLP Sprayer alternative

[Paul Gerhold]

Just looking at the reviews it appears the harbor freight sprayer is a better bet. That said I wonder if anyone on the forum has bought just their HVLP gravity feed sprayer and used their own compressor. Since I have a compressor seems silly to buy the whole kit rather than just the spray gun. The other thing that is interesting is the different nozzles for different viscosity materials although harbor freight doesn't seem to sell them.
