Im getting close to the painting stage. I have sprayed with both HVLP and the old style with the cup hanging below.
Advantages of HVLP
1. Smaller Compressor
2. Less overspray
3. Less material used
Advantages of Old Style
1. Easier to touch up an area
2. Paint fades in easier and less runs
3. Lots of cars have been painted with these systems
I have a good HVLP gun and a reasonable cup gun. What is the general consensus of painters here? I am leaning to the HVLP because I do not have 220 at my hangar for my large compressor.
If you could give reasons why you favor one over the other, that would help. Thanks
