Sparying your van with a HVLP

[Poseidon]

Has anyone sprayed their van using a HVLP (High Visocity, Low Pressure) sprayer?
They are available from Argos for around £50..

Just wondered if this would work and look for a home re-spray

i have an apolo system which is 10yrs plus old now, have done lots of touchup jobs and done a full respray on a sierra,good wee unit but expensive get a good finish from it and uses less paint than the big air compressor .these are £137+p&p on ebay

I know a T25 is a heck of a lot bigger but the principle is the same!

(OH, BTW, HVLP=High Volume Low Pressure - not viscosity, you'd never get it out of the gun!)

I use an apollo unit it works great however you do have to flat a bit after to get rid of the orange peel . That may be me not the unit however I dont have the same result when I use a standard compressor .But they are great little units and you can extend the hose a bit to get a greater reach. I would recommend them if you plan to do a diy paint job
