Hey post some pics of your success/failure with getting the paint to go down right. Also what brand paint are you using?

Old car hoods work great for setting up the gun for proper spray pattern. One thing I hope some of the painters out there can answer is the turbine vs. compressor driven HVLP systems. I have an older Graco unit that works great and runs off of dedicated turbine in the unit. The air line the...
