Why can I not find any gravity feed HVLP systems for sale?

[Coalsmoke]

I plan on painting my truck this summer and figured I'd get a nice little turbine HVLP system. I'm not looking for top of the line, just something that will do fine for the average hobbiest. This something I thought would be in the form of a gravity feed, but all the combo systems seem to come with suction instead. Should I mix a turbine with a different namebrand gun or am I missing something here? I had always though that gravity feed would deliver better and be more consistent - am I wrong?



TIA,

Stephan

most say that the smaller units dont work as work as the bigger ones. Do you have a Compressor? JB

Harbor Freight has several choices available at their on-line store. Just do a keyword search with HVLP. They also have a retail store in Everett, WA. http://www.harborfreight.com

I bought one from Tip Tools about 5 years ago. Used it several times, very happy with it - PLUS you can get parts & service from them!



Here is their web site: Tip Tools



I have the Showtime 90 model. They also now offer an upgrade to a gravity fed gun for a small up-charge.



Happy tool hunting, PM me if you have any questions.
