I currently use a compressor with an HVLP gun and have had no problems with my setup or my results. I am about to relocate my shop to a different building and was wondering if I should change over. I like to try out new tools and such, but am reminded of the old saying: (If it aint broke don't fix it) What do you guys think? :confused:
I could have avoided all that trouble if only I had remembered to...

I have only used an HVLP turbine system with a non-bleed gun (Accuspray); however, I had never used a non-HVLP system or a compressor system.
One reason that might push you towards changing is if you are having problems with water in your compressed air. Some solutions for water in the compressed air (from condensation) are quite expensive and a switch to a turbine-based HVLP completely eliminates this problem.
The turbine-based HVLP produces warm air and you would have to get used to this (and learn how to compensate for it).
I am not an expert (not even close), so I will read other replies with interest. | | |
