   I would not recommend spraying latex with a HVLP rig. The tip size needs to be about the same as a water hose.

   Sounds to me what you really need is an airless rig. My airless rig (.5 GPM) sprays stains, polys and lacquers very nicely.

   I have a Fuji 4 stage that does great and is portable. When you say you want to spray trim, I assume you mean oil. I have used it to paint doors, and built-ins more than anything else and the finish is better than an airless. If you are thinking of using it with latex, I recomend an airless. When I have to spray a cabinet with latex I use an airless and thin the paint with about 15 percent water. To use HVLP you will have to thin more than 20 % and the finish looks bad, pluss I worry that the paint will fail as the instructions say not to add more than 10 %. Even thinned at 20% most turbines will not atomize as well as an airless.

     The consensus here, and on other sites as well, is that conversion guns are superior for finishing.

   I just got the wagner setup-convrsion gun, cup, and 2.5 gal pot, with needles.caps to do stain, lacquer, poly, latex.  Works great on the lacquer, stain & poly.  Haven't had a chance to try the latex yet- no latex requirements yet.
