Has anyone had any experience painting automobiles with a Turbine HVLP system? what are your experiences? I’ve been hearing its much easier than using a compressor system and im interested in purchasing one. Should i get a 2, 3 or 4 stage? (some people say you really only need a two stage) Should you only use a gravity fed gun with a turbine system? What are some models that give you the best bang for your buck?
Thanks!
there are many claims for turbine HVLP systems but ask yourself this question ,why isnt it the industry standard system in bodyshops around the world ?;-)
the main issue with HVLP especialy turbine HVLP is its inability to atomise heavier materials such as high solids clears and direct gloss ,it also lacks the velosity required to get these heavier materials on the panel and they fall out of flight reducing transfer rates instead of “as claimed” increasing them ,what they do often achieve is a much poorer finish than with more conventional higher pressure systems although when dealing with lower viscosity materials such as basecoats they can excell in all departments
