For the last year or so, I as part of a group, have been working with Cambell Hausfed delveloping a battery operated paint sprayer or gun. We are down to the color sceme this week and selection should be complete soon.  I do not know when production will take place but should be soon, within a year, maybe as soon as six months. If you have thought of getting a paint sprayer you may want to give this unit some thought. Having the paint and power all in one small hand held unit would make painting a boat very easy, NO CORDS or HOSE.

Now you tell me. Rolling Eyes  I just bought an HVLP a couple of months back.

Sounds like an excellent idea!!! Smile Smile

Arnie,
I am curious about how long the battery will last and if they will cost an arm and a leg for spares.
Thanks.

Is it a "limited overspray" like a HVLP rig?  I bought an inexpensive Wagner HVLP sprayer and like it a lot.  There is more overspray than I thought there would be, but I guess that's what you get with the less expensive guns.

I had a surprising amount of overspray with my unit (HVLP).  More than I expected anyway.  I am going to try a lower pressure next time.  When I bought mine, there were numerous different pressure models.  I simply guessed at which one to get.
