Recommend me a cheap spray gun!!!

[Muffduster]

Will be staining some wicker furniture this afternoon with this stain http://www.rustoleum.com/product-catalog/consumer-brands/wood-care/ultimate-wood-stain and need advice on a cheap (Harbor Freight is close by) gun that would work. I have an 80 gallon compressor and HVLP fittings, but can run any fitting I want (have dozens).

Other stores I have nearby:

Lowes
Home Depot
Tractor Supply
Atwoods
True Value
Auto Zone
Advance Auto Parts
O'Reillys

What's cheap? When it comes to spray guns there's usually a quality barrier in price, plenty of companies willing to make the visually similar but cast Chinese guns that spray horribly - then there's a price gap, then there's some ok and decent guns.

IMO a "cheap" gun would be a good deal on a european or european spec/forged parts gun such as http://www.amazon.com/Astro-Pneumatic-Tool-EUROHV105-EuroPro/dp/B00407QGZC/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1407938469&sr=8-7&keywords=astro+euro which is normally over $100.
But I guess it's all your own reference for what's cheap.

Edit:
I see you need it today, the purple HF isn't terrible.

Should I get the HVLP or regular purple???

Not sure what the differences are, can you post some model #s? The purple one I know of is usually $11.99 or so with coupons (almost always available, at any time) and as with the other opinions here I think is really good for the money. Not a SATA or Iwata certainly, but as good as some $60 ones I've tried.

If you get the HF one, make sure you take it apart and clean out all of the silcone sealer. That seems to be the main problem with them.

Here is a video on that subject:
