RE: Did HVLP take over completely?
Hey CLR:
Being that you are not in the US. I would check out some of the asian rim stuff. Before the HVLP laws I saw a few import guns that were pretty good. I even think Binks ans Sharpe were importing some of them. They would sell them as a value line . Maybe you can still get them down there? I had heard that some of the asian stuff was a direct copy of the name brands. It is only some rumours that I heard. I am in the auto biz, so I hear all kindsa things. Astro pneumatic comes to mind, I had a cheapie to paint interior trim panels. I worked at a Chrysler dealership. And Mopar found out it was cheaper to stock tan panels and pay someone to paint the plastic parts than stock 4 or 5 colors. It worked fairly well. Not a Davilbiss or Binks but it would work good for you. It would get you back in business sooner. And only cost as I recall 48$ US. Good luck.
