Turbine paint sprayer.

[D-man313]

Anybody have any experience with them in the automotive paint? I tried one this weekend and am real happy with the way it sprayed out. My one question is, can i use just a normal garden hose for the supply line? The hose thats on it now, is bigger than a regular hose, but has normal garden hose fittings on both ends. The one on it now could be a little longer.

Thanks

I use one. I doubt the garden hose would work as it is high volume air - needing the bigger hose.

I own one but have yet to use it. TP Tools sells a unit and they paint their award winning cars with the unit.

There is a very good thread on the HAMB about this and there are suggestions for alternative hoses that can be used. It is worth the read.

That’s the one I have. Great unit!

There's a video on YouTube of a guy that used automotive paint in a Harbor Freight model. He speaks highly of it but it's not a full car. Been awhile since I watched it but might be primer, cant recall now

One place I worked we painted alot of old cars and trucks the owners collected. They had a HVLP turbine gun and I loved it. We used mainly ppg urathanes and it would produce show quality piant jobs and I was not very experienced at that time.
