What's the diff' between HVLP and conventional paint guns?

Post by robroy »

Hello,

What's the basic difference between HVLP and conventional paint guns?

I'm guessing that HVLP generates less overspray.

When would a person want an HVLP gun and when would a conventional gun be a better choice?

Thanks!

hvlp - high volume low pressure
less overspray so you save paint.
