HVLP Systems for a beginer.
Hello,
I am going to be shooting a basecoat/clearcoat job on my Bug. I have been reading a lot of posts, here and other places, about all the prep. work and all that jazz. I know I wont be pumping out show quality paint jobs... but as long as it looks better than a "rattle can" job I'll be happy. Plus I got a rock crawling Jeep I can practice on, as that thing aint gotta be pretty. ![]() ![]() My question is about the HVLP systems. I have been looking around and know at least I'll need a 3 stage design turbine unit. Gotta take all the help I can get with the technology. I dont want to spend too much money on the system, but I also dont want a hunk of junk either... I've seen a HVLP from Harbor Freight for $50... I bet that would produce a real show stopping paint job! ![]() I figgure I am looking at spending right around $550-$650 for a quality unit. Well, unless anyone knows of a better deal. ![]() I've been looking at the Fuji SuperPro System. It costs $549.00 US No shipping charges and a FREE Maintenance Kit. Complete system includes: Super PRO 3-stage turbine, hi-flex hose, Fuji XT Non-Bleed spray gun with 1Qt cup, paint strainer, viscosity cup, cleaning brush, and 20 page User manual. The only thing I can not find info for on this unit is what pressure and cfm it operates at. Any ideas or tips that would help me in my search for a good, low cost HVLP system would be appreciated.
