HVLP first try

Just painted my pakistan half doors and tailgate with my new snap-on HVLP. I bought it second hand and didn't realize it only had a spot nozzle on it. Only really good for shooting jambs etc. I had already mixed a batch of paint so I had to make do.

I never have used one before and I'm really impressed. It kept the overspray to a minimum and didn't zap my compressor.

I'm used to using my trusty old binks model 7 so this was a nice step up.



I used a PPG AE single stage. I had one run and it was my fault due to snagging the hose on a stand.

pics tomorrow..



One thing i noticed that I didn't really like was that it seamed to throw the paint no matter what I did to adjust for it.
