HVLP @ ALDI

Just found this

at 35 quid inc. motor. Given that B&Q have evidently stopped doing their cheapo it could be worth a punt.

Hi Harold,

from the picture you cannot see the unit, however the spray gun looks exactly the same as my Wagner which I got from B&Q a few years ago and paid 76 quid.

If the unit that powers it is as good I think its a steal for that amount of cash. It gives really good coverage and can achieve a pretty good finish,

Ive used mine on radiator cabinets and the like and its easy to clean. I'm quite happy with mine.

Phil

Looks the same as one I paid more than twice the price for at a professional decorators store a few years back. Well worth the investment at the price I paid for papering...

What sort of paint/where do you get it to use in the spray gun? Varnish too? What type again?

I bought this today, looks like a fine bit of kit. Tried it out with just water and it seems to create a lovely spray. Never used HVLP system before but I can't wait to try this out in the week.

Thanks Matt for posting the link!

You're welcome!
Matt's papering tray looks handy too. Might wander over...
