We adjusted for the turbine's warm air by using the paint manufacturer's recommendation for
high-temperature (75-90 degree) reducer. This worked fine and the two-part, single-stage urethane paint (PPG DCC) applied nicely, and buffed out beautifully and easily.
I had never used a traditional spray system, so I had no problem holding the HVLP gun as close to the surface as is recommended. My friend, who had always used compressed-air standard-guns and HVLP-guns, had to get used to holding the HVLP turbine gun close to the surface (6"-8"). Until he got the distance right, his applications had significant orange-peeling.
