Spray Day!

Spray day! This picture is of the handiest thing since pockets on a shirt. It is a high volume low pressure paint sprayer (HVLP) and is one of my best friends. I finish almost everything with water borne finishes and I can put 3 or 4 finishes on a boat in a day as opposed to maybe needing a week to get that many coats of an oil based finish. This one has a four stage turbine and is made by Sprayfine and I don't have anything but good things to say about it. They have good customer service and any problems that I've had have been "operator error". With luck I'll flip the boat over and spray the inside tomorrow.
