I don't think I'm enought of a DIY'er to make a sprayer like Kevin's, which looks great. But have you guys tried a remote cup setup with your hvlp? I use sealing pads to do the horizontal stuff, but like everyone else am looking for a more efficient way to do the verticals, and I've done a fair amount of research. I don't think I need something as big as a pressure pot for what I'm doing (and I'd also be concerned about more difficult portability and not having an agitator). Would you advise me to go with a cheaper (I've seen a couple for under $200) turbine-driven unit with a regular one quart gun, or a remote cup setup with two-quart cup and conversion gun--probably a $700 investment for a decent one with cost of compressor included. An advantage of the remote cup setup seems to be that I don't have to worry about the angle I'm spraying from, but it's more expensive and probably more difficult to clean up. Thanks!
