Will be painting my 52 8n shortly and have a question on paint guns. I have done 2 project tractors with my Devilbiss PLUS gun, which is described as an hvlp gun without the cfm requirements (around 9cfm) of a true hvlp gun, and am happy with the results except for one thing, overspray. I thought an hvlp gun overspray should be less but using my gun it seems I get a lot of overspray. I have set it up correctly and have checked psi to make sure it is within the guns specs.
I have seen the videos of hvlp systems that have their own compressor and they seem to have little to no overspray, but that is NOT what I see with my gun. I must admit I have not used any other gun so i really don't know if what I am seeing is normal or not.
Obviously if you have an unlimited budget, or are a professional painter and have a paint booth etc then overspray is not that big of a concern. I was looking for opinions on what would be a good gun for a regular hobby guy that has as little overspray as possible.
Thanks ...any opinions welcome

p.s. I do use a fresh air respirator !
