I have noticed the listing in the Bailey catalog concerning their HVLP combo
package of a gun and air source for ninety nine dollars. Has anyone had any
experience with this set up, sounds quite reasonable if its reliable. Any
comments appreciated, thanks

Art -
I couldn't find any mention of this on their website. Do they give a brand
name? There are a number of inexpensive turbine-driven HVLP systems out
there for around $100 that seem to work pretty well for ceramic glazes -
these include the ones made by Wagner, Campbell-Hausfeld, and Harbor
Freight. I am not a fan of Harbor Freight electric and air tools, but a
number of Clayart members have reported good performance from the Harbor
Freight HVLP system that sells for less than $100.
Good luck -
