Which Spray Gun should I use to Prime with? Suction or Gravety Feed? What about HVLP?

All three will work. I like the gravity feed for easier clean up and being able to spray to the last drop. As far as HVLP make sure your compressor is up to the requirements.

I always used a suction gun until last summer when I tried out a cheaper Gravity gun a friend gave - went an purchased a better one the following day and now use ot for all my primer/filler work
The gravity gun allows mme to get into some of the areas I always had trouble with when using a suction gun.
Coverage seems better and it is MUCH easier to clean

I agree with the comment about true HVLP units
They are great guns (the higher end ones) and give fantastic coverage and results - But ... you do need a serious compressor to properly use one .
I thought my compressor was pretty good as it has never run out of air with any grinder, drill or other high-cfm use tool - then I tried spraying with a HVLP gun ... had to start 'waiting' for the compressor for the first time in my life
Am able to get around it for top coats now by piggy-backing two of my compressors to the reg. - but it a PITA ...
If you aren't over 5hp and 12~14cfm - dont' attempt a HVLP gun.
