Any recommendations for a good HVLP spray gun? I am about to spray my engine, but I want to get a gun good enough for other paint projects as well. Thanks!

Edit: currently, my thought is a Sharpe FX3000 in 1.3 mm.

If you can swing it, I'd buy a whole 3 gun set. They come in handy, one for primer, one for small jobs, and a finish gun. I use an air brush for some things, mostly because I have it and when you don't want to drag out the big toys.
You can spend about as much money as you want here, but after a certain point it makes no sense, depending on use factor. I've got all kinds from over the years, but the new ones, with the replaceable cup seem to avoid some previous issues of cleanout. I've use more time and solvent cleaning than painting, especially with the catalyzed paints, like the new silicon motor paints.

Thanks!
