Glad I am happy with it

Cus, it wern't cheap.

Got a chance to finally use my Earlex sprayer. Doing the primer on the kitchen cabinets. Had to thin to the margin for the SW primer, but made it. Just a bit odd having the air with no paint.

What do you mean by "Just a bit odd having the air with no paint."?

Please post your experiences with the paint when you get a chance. Always a need for recommendations for cabinet paint. I'm going to need to refinish some kitchen cabinets 'eventually' too.

Last cabinets I did I used an inexpensive conversion HVLP gun with Zinsser shellac primer and INSLX CabinetCoat paint. The Zinsser primer sprayed easily right out of the can (but watch out for the alcohol fumes). The CabinetCoat needed to be thinned to the max allowed, but went down ok and self-levelled quite well.

I think he is referring to the constant flow of air through the gun when not actually spraying. I have the same Earlex 5500.

I'd be interested in the top coat paint as well. I've been using BM Advance on my newly installed trim and I like it, but haven't sprayed it yet until I finish my built ins.

Soon.

Oh that would throw me off too. Really? They do a constant airspray but limit the application to trigger squeeze?

Yea, pull trigger to release your product, air flows as long as base is powered on

OK, they call that a "bleeder" style gun - no air flow out the nozzle when the trigger is released is a "non-bleeder" style.
