I'll agree on the original topic that the Wagner FineSpray HVLP unit is a good budget choice for a sprayer.  With proper preparation time, testing, and application, I was able to do a very nice job on a Joust restore.  You just need to practice with it first.  Sure, a real HVLP rig would be nice, but Wagner FineSpray HVLP works for small jobs.  If I was painting several cabs a month, I would use a real rig.

I also had problem thinning some the paint.  Here in California, you can't buy true oil-based paints due to the environmental laws.  I'm no expert, but the legal paints are latex or some hybrid oil-base.  These paints did not thin well with paint thinner, in my experience.
