HVLP's are fairly new and do not waste paint like a siphon gun 15 - 35% with 65 to 85% waste. HVLP's are about the opposite.

To answer your question, yes an OK gun, a good siphon works fine

and ive been looking at single stage paints, what are your opinions on single stage?

SS are cheaper, don't have the depth of gloss, are not as UV or chip resistant

and whats the best way to clean out the paint cups? i have primer stuck in there where it dried up.

If it's stuck in the cup, it's in the gun as well. Try thinner, a bristle brush and a cloth first. If that doesn't work, send it out for professional cleaning, or throw it away and start over with an HVLP. Harbor Freight has a very good cheapy - #43430 (Purple) that is always on sale for $35 to $49. I have heard that it has been replaced though by a piece of crap.
thanks guys

Steve, don't try to do too much an 'economy' job - it always comes back to bite your hindside
