First off, let me tell you that I'm relatively new at the game of painting. I don't know all the facts, but I do know what works for an amature like me. The HVLP guns use a lot less air pressure to shoot paint. That results in less overspray, hence less wasted paint, less paint FUMES in the air (causing less pollutants to be in the air)and with less air pressuer, you end up with less chance of orange peel on your paint surface. HVLP guns waste less paint for a couple reasons. You have better control of your paint while spraying, and the gun is simpler, and easier to clean. I just recently finished a couple paint jobs (John Deere MT and JD 2440) The MT was done witha cheap HVLP gun from Home Depot. That gun is now my "primer gun". I also bought a more expensive Sharpe gun. It sprays a better pattern, but the cheap-o gun didn't do a bad job at all.... I sprayed a couple trucks about 10 years ago with a Binks #7 siphon gun. The Binks #7 was about as good as it gets. My work looked very amaturish. The 2 tractors I just did look about as good as anyones paint work. Good shine, nice slick finish, and NO RUNS OR ORANGE PEEL! The only difference.....The guns. HVLP guns are easier to use in my opinion. John
