Default Learning to spray paint

On my gun you would never carry around the turbine. It is heavy. It will
supposedly drive two guns at once. I also run an extra length of hose
just to give the air more time to cool before hitting the gun.


I had read that the heat was an advantage to the HVLP process, so I assume
you find this not to be true? Why, or why not?

I would think (guess) that the paint flashing quickly would make it harder
to keep a wet line, but that is my guess, since I have not used one,
(turbine unit) I don't know...

Or could you go with a slower reducer? That brings up a different question.

Do all, or nearly all paints used have different speed reducers available to
use? I have used urethane, enamel, lacquer and latex paints. (the latex
does not count, because that was on house type stuff, and the same with
lacquer, that required no mixing)
