I’m looking at some used HVLP conversion guns and would like some opinions:
Iwata LPH-200
Binks 95
Binks 2001
Kremlin M21
Can anyone offer any insight on these guns or other good used guns to be on the lookout for? Thanks.

Personally I wouldn't own a Binks 2001. I've used a bunch of the conventional version (non-HVLP) and they work. But, I just don't care for them at all. They were the Binks answer to the DeVilbiss JGA 503. The JGA I love using and still own one. It's kinda like the age old Ford v Chevy rivalry. So, take my comments in that context. I'm a DeVilbiss fan.
The Binks 95 is a better gun, in my opinion. I've only used the non-HVLP version of those too.
I've never used an Iwata, but have heard good things about them.
I've only used one Kremlin. It was back in the early 90's and was on an air-assisted airless set-up (also by Kremlin). It was a superb piece of equipment that I loved using. I don't remember what model the gun was and it was before HVLP technology came out anyway. But it was a very fine spray set-up. Kremlin is an east coast brand that we rarily see out here on the west coast. Which, based on my experience with that one, is our loss.
