Hello!
I have read through many posts about HVLP painting. Sounds like going with a turbine would be the best way. I have no experience painting, unless you call rattle canning the interior with Zn Chromate painting.
I have heard good things about Stewart paints. Working with water based paint sounds like it would be much safer (no fresh air required). My main question about this method is durability. How long have people been putting on this paint? I'd hate to see the paint job turn bad in 5 or 10 years.
If I go with a solvent borne urethane paint, most of the turbine manufacturers seem to suggest a 4 stage system. People here say they have gotten good results with a Citation. Is that a 3- or 4-stage? Looks like there is about $400 price difference. Any difference in equipment for the Stewart system?
For practice, and to make my wife happy, I could paint the house. I assume I would learn much, but there's prolly differences in technique between latex and urethane paints.
Cheers,
Dan
