IMHO these guns perform as well as any for a reasonable price. As far as a respirator goes Summit sells a Gerson half mask , P95 organic vapor for $20, disposable spray suits fo $5 and they sell head socks also. If I order from them I recieve my order the next day.
So, you prefer the conventional gun as opposed to the HVLP? Is that strictly due to air demand? I always thought the HVLP guns were supposed to be better in regard to putting the product on the object as opposed to having it float away into the atmosphere.
I have a 60 gal. compressor and so far haven't had any real issues with air supply for my lower quality HVLP guns....but I've got a lot to learn in this arena.
