  11. Hi, HVLP you will have a problem if using a 'home compressor' as these are normally a maximum of 3 hp giving an output of approx 12 cfm fad ( free air delivered). A hvlp gun like a Devilbliss GTI will need quite a bit more than this. A trick I have seen done is to fit high flow type quick release coupling, allowing a higher flow with a standard gun and thus you can lower you spraying pressure, with the resulting reduction in bounce back and wasted material. Hope this is of help. There are a number of dedicated HVLP rigs which have a low pressure hiflow blower feeding via a large bore hose to the gun, BUY THE BEST YOU CAN AFFORD, if you go this route as the cheap ones are dire, poor performance tiring to use. I question why you want to go HVLP, as if only painting for yourself, do not come under the legislation, that encompasses HVLP, ok there is the saving in paint, but I suspect it wouldn't warrant the cost. I personally would suggest, buy a GOOD compressor, high end of Sip/Sealey ranges. Then look on Ebay for a clean used Devilbiss JGA suction or gravity gun, which has been the benchmark of sprayers for years. It should have a 30 aircap and 1.2 or 1.4 fluid tip, Brown brother still do the JGA for about £120-£150 depending on how hard you push.. If you want any advice please ask, my business is supplying servicing and repairing air compressors and associated equipment. Regards Hardyferret :-D :-D
  12. I can vouch for the fact turrets are HEAVY, last year myself and a (used to be) good friend, removed a complete turret assembly from a scrap Ferret 4 miles from my home!!!!! buried in the worlds biggest bramble patch, as was remarked if anyone fell into the brambles it would be death by a 1000 pricks. :whistle: Balancing on old pallets we made a 'road' to the Ferret, and then manhandled the whole assembly back. :schocked: The sort of good fun thing for a sunday morning. Rest of ferret very sad someone had removed engine deck, and then the plugs/rocker cover. Hoping to strip out running gear... Regards Hardyferret :-D :-D :-D
