That's about the going rate for a good quality one. The closest thing to the one in my OP any more is this: https://www.harborfreight.com/high-volume-low-pressure-spray-gun-kit-44677.html

But I have a TP Tools 2 stage now: https://www.tptools.com/Showtime-90-HVLP-Turbine-U...?b=d*51867

Oddly I still haven't sprayed a whole car with it, but I've sprayed lots of lacquer and painted tin anfd stuff.


People are still confusing the purple hvlp gun (conventional, needs compressor) with the topic of this this thread, an hvlp turbine https://www.harborfreight.com/high-volume-low-pressure-spray-gun-kit-44677.html

Duroc, your link is broken, so Im assuming this is TP's current system https://www.tptools.com/TP-Tools-3-Stage-HVLP-Turbine-Paint-Systems.html

Close enough. Mine's a 2-stage.

I'm a lot closer to doing a three stage pearl paint job on a 64 bug. Going to finally get the title sorted on that thing tomorrow! then I can throw some tires on it and get it moved from the work-wife's garage to my MIL's driveway.

The hardest part of painting for me is just to calm myself down. I have done hours of prep work and can potentially ruin it in the next few minutes. By the time I have mixed it and gotten dressed for it I am usually hyperventilating in my mask and fogging my goggles. I get pumped. Which doesn't help. This is what I've learned. Whatever you are painting, do not try to lay it on thick right from the get go. Jam it first. Meaning you get all of the hard to get to places first. Then just lightly mist the whole piece and walk away for 5 minutes to let the mist tack up. Then go back and lay down your finish coat. The guy that taught me had a saying, Its a fine line between a nice finish and a run.


YEP, sound advice for a novice.

I painted my '56 project with the HF HVLP kit and I'm happy with the results. I'll post pics later on tonight if interested.
