I'm looking for advice on which direction I should be looking for a HLVP system to paint just under 20 residential door slabs.
I'm no painter, nor do I aspire to be, but I own a couple of airless units I've put a few hours on. I assume they are not the ideal tool for painting door slabs and since they are kind of a pain in the *** to clean, I'm hoping a reasonably priced HLVP will both provide a better finish and be easier to clean.
These would all be new door slabs, either primed or primed and painted from the factory. I will need to paint or repaint them all to match the existing colors of the door frames/jambs/trims, which are not being replaced.
I'm assuming I will need to spend at least $500 on a decent HLVP system and I'm willing to spend upwards of $800, but with as little other use as this unit will likely see, I can't see spending more than that.
While a cordless unit would be great, unless it somehow accepted an 18-Volt Makita battery, I'm not looking to get into a new battery system. So, I am thinking it would be best to just get a 120-volt unit.
Any help would be appreciated.
