For the painter, the big advantage to an HVLP is the improved transfer efficency when it is used properly. When you see a cloud of overspray, it is wasted paint that should be on your tractor, not drifting through the air. I"ve been using HVLP for a while now but I have a conventional detail gun I needed to fire up for a little job recently. I was absoutely astounded at how much overspray it generated, probably 3 times what my full sized HVLP guns do. High pressure atomization may give you a slightly finer finish but the cost in materials is large. Also, since HVLP is manditory in so many places, the paint people will be optimizing their newer products for that method.
I don"t like a regulator hanging off my gun ( a Sata Digital is in my dreams!) so I have a 25" 3/8" hose connected directly to my gun and put a regulator at the end of it. With that setup, I find I need about 45 pounds at the regulator to get my 35 at the gun.
