    hvlp turbines?

     



    i have been looking at hvlp gold turbines paint spray systems, they look good in print but has any one out there used one and what did you think of it or would i be better off staying with a compressor for painting ? they say they put out 60cfm @4-5psi and reduce overspray by75%

    I have not personally used one , but Reatheon , Cessena , and Boeing , have turbine paint systems and seem to work fine .
    I do know that the air is heated / heats up , and makes for difficult painting in hot weather , as it makes the paint set fast .

    I almost bought one years ago but didnt want the whole unit inside my paint booth with me , as They ( Shop Owners ) wouldnt let me drill a hole in a new 75K down draft to leave the compressor out side and run the hose through the booth wall
