campbell hausfeld sprayers

Are campbell hausfeld paint sprayers any good?

I was looking at the Professional HVLP sprayer for 120 bucks.

If you have a auto body supply store (where Im at its a Carquest Store) where you are at that sells Sharpe Paint Guns buy a Sharp "Finex" paint gun. They are about $80 to $100 and they are a great paint gun.

Here is the link to the Sharpe web site so that you can see what it looks like http://www.sharpe1.com/finex.htm

I painted the front of my car with a CH, and they are only ok for doing a small amount of work. My main problem was that there is not enough room from the handle to either the side of the cup or something, I just remember my middle finger being sore from constantly having pressure put on it. I didn't use a HLVP, this was a suction type. I wouldn't recommend that gun unless you're only doing small projects and you get it as part of the kit,,, but I wouldn't really recommend my compressor either...
You get what you pay for.
