I have a small bathroom that needs to have the trim and bead board primed and painted. I have a 4 stage hvlp that I would like to use but have never used it inside an occupied home. Would I be better off painting by brush/roller?? There is no window for venting the overspray, but it would be so much faster.

Any advice appreciated. Thanks
 
You can use it, no problems. You don't vent overspray, you vent the solvent in the paint. The overspray falls down very quickly.

Just make sure you mask everything, including yourself.
 
If it is a small room brush and roller. Probably a foam roller.

The HVLP can do this very well, have to weigh prep time against work time.

Which model HVLP and gun?

I have the Apollo 1035 HVLP. It has 4 stages and has worked well spraying paint (thinned 10%) in the past. I guess my concern is more about the lack of ventilation and how that would affect a sprayed finish.
 
I am interested in how this thread goes since I am faced with a somewhat similar situation.  I am about to start the painting portion of a set of closet cabinet organizers.  I have a Fuji Q4 Gold 4-stage HVLP that has yet to see its first action. It's the over-spray issue I too have to contend with.
