Technical Suggestions on a HVLP turbine systems

Been looking online and was wondering if anyone has used one, and their opinion of them. Seems like the Fuji models are highly recommended and Apollo is making one for Eastwood.
Thanks in advance

 

I bought the one from TPI tools. Nice unit ……………….I have not used it yet

 

Thanks I looked at them too. Hope it works well for you

 

My first victim will be my 99 Miata...…………...next victim will be my 1917 roadster pick up...…...and all that learning will go to the paint on my V8 '65 Corvair. I know I will post my experience.

 

Please do post your results thanks

 

I have a good idea, lets go help hrm2k! I'm sure he would welcome sage advice from us'ns, maybe we can round up Don too! that'd be epic!

 

Anytime you want oj. My door is always open for you !!!!

 

Sounds good to me

 

This is what I would go with.
I started my project with a 3 stage turbine and then mid stream took my turbine apart and ordered a 5 stage turbine motor and blower.

Much better, in hindsight I should have bought this one.
I also have a Fuji T75 gun and the 3M PPS disposable paint cup system. Awesome equipment.

Thanks that’s the one that gets the best reviews online. I thought the higher stage would be the best. Does it handle primers well ?

 

I sprayed epoxy primer and then polyester high build primer surface after that with no issues.

For my color I sprayed acrylic urethane.
Pictures of the spray booth I built and some paint pictures are on my build thread or on the painting at home in the garage or driveway thread.

 

It looks like the TP units are single stage . Anyone satisfied with the result? I bought a single stage Lemmer and haven't got to painting yet.

That’s great. What’s the link to your build ?
Wanna check it out
Thanks

 

Higher the stage the more air volume and pressure to push the heavier primer

 

I would not have had any luck with a single stage turbine the 3 worked well enough for primer but better atomization from the 5 stage meant smoother flow for the final coats of paint.

Thanks @Blue One

Sooo... $1720.00 Canadian -that's like $47.00 U.S.? Seriously, @Blue One -you got the stage 5 and it barely pushed the primer?

 

No, I started with a 3 stage and it worked reasonably well with the epoxy primer.

But even being an inexperienced painter as in never having done it before it was obvious to me that I needed a little bit better atomization.

The 5 stage turbine worked really well and allowed me to do a decent job considering my experience or lack of it.

 

Great job

 

Thanks.
