I’m looking to buy a HVLP spray gun using a conventional compressor. I typically use my conventional spray gun for laquer, but I would like a gun that also sprays dyes and water based finishes. When looking at HVLP spray guns they don’t seem to advertise the efficiency of th guns. Does anyone know of a decent quality gun with high efficiency for about $200 or less

There is a new Walcom on ebay right now that would work great. Listed for $106 (half price). Homestead sells the same model.
This isn't my auction, but I have bought from this seller before with good results.
I have a Lemmer HVLP gun. I think I paid about $175 for it many years ago. It uses a turbine but I know Lemmer has conventional pressure HVLP guns also. The gun and the support are fantasic in my opinion. Lemmer is a Canadian company - you can do a Google search and find them.
Just used my Wagner HVLP conversion gun for the first time. $130 from Gleem Paint. Very nice for the money. Full review by Jim Becker(search Yahoo, you'll find his site). Gleem also provides a glowing review. These guys know their stuff and you will very likely walk away w/ one after visiting their site. Excellent support from Gleem and fast service. Heck, I sprayed water based laquer from Oxford w/ the gun, didn't pay much if any attention to my settings, basically had little clue as to what I was doing and the piece I did looks like a commercial kitchen cabinet type finish. 0ne note and a very big factor in my decision...the Wagner gun is designed to run on more modest compressors than the 80 gallon 2 stage monsters that many of don't have or don't have space for.
