Titan hvlp EP60x spray gun for Gallery paint

I'm considering buying a Titan EP60X HVLP spray gun and turbine to spray Sherwin Williams Gallery coatings.
I'll be priming with Bins shellac. Anyone with experience or thoughts on this?

Formerly sprayed SW Cv with HVLP air assisted guns on cabinets. Just am not interested in setting up for that for now.
Thanks,
Steve

Do not waste your money for HVLP.
Get your self a Airless or AAA. Ones you start reducing the paint for spraying easy with HVLP you will weaken the product.
Gallery or any other thick body WB paint with a green LP 308 you will lay that paint like a glass out of the can.
Good Luck !

Thanks for the advice.

This project has a lot of curved parts, carved columns, and detail. No experience with airless, but heard you need to move faster. So wondering if its a good fit.

Could i not get the 2.0 tip to handle the gallery thicker body?
Thanks for the help

IF YOU want hvlp, don't get a turbine, you are limited to the power of a turbine, if u want hvlp, get or use ur compressor for this project.

a ca technology gun binks, dv, etc. sometimes u can pick a good on ebay especially if u repair ur own guns. and yes,with ur profiles u r spraying i believe an airless is a poor choice.

good luck, herb j

Steve ,
I am a cabinet constructor and also finish all my cabinetry my self.
I have Hvlp, 4 stage turbine,Airless, Air assisted airless and Diaphragm Pump
i mean every kind of finishing equipment in my shop.
I know what their limitations and where they shine and i believe every job needs different equipment.
i don't use one equipment for every job :)
For your project and materials i believe airless is perfect .
you need a small orifice tip like 306 from tritech.that tip works exactly like hvlp. When you get the confidence jump up to FFLP 308.
HVLP is not easy to work with when your spraying thick body materials. Honestly they will never and ever work like a pump.period.This applies for Gallery type thick body materials.If you are spraying CV or Lacguer or poly thats a different story and hvlp is more than enough.
if you have a change try both and see for your self.
if i were you and money is not an issue i get my self a Titan Elite 2000 hopper and tritech 306 fine finish tip and do my work.
This pump is incredible. Maybe overkill but it opens a whole another world to your trade. You can swap the gun with a air assisted gun and hook a small compressor and here is your real time money maker. Hooper makes it so much easy to clean and spraying small batches with his 1 gallon hopper is effortless. i saw this machine the other day and i am impressed.

Like everyone said
Ditch the turbine idea
I have a Tritech T4 and use their fine Finish tips
Sure you will move faster but not too fast
AAA is also good but I'm liking my airless better!

I operate a 1 man custom finish shop and have and use darn near every possible type of spray equipment (AAA, airless, turbine hvlp, pressure pots with pneumatic sprayguns, and gravity feed set-ups) . Being a custom shop l spray whatever material the customer wants me to use, from Euro WB water or solvent 2k polys to nitro lacquer to WB solvent house paint and varnish. What spray set-up use depends on what material and quantity I'm spraying
For house paint the airless works great for big jobs (over a gallon) small jobs a pressure feed cup gun with a 2.2 tip. For Euro 1/2k urethane l use a 15:1 AAA for bigger jobs or a gravity gun 1.8/2.0 tip for smaller jobs.
For less viscous nitro, shellac jobs l use a 10:1 AAA set-up for bigger jobs. On smaller jobs l have some amazing Sata pressure/gravity feed guns.
If I'm spraying on-site l real like using the turbine for thinner material, so little overspray and the soft spray gives a very fine finish.
I also use a 2 gallon pot/gun set-up that l use to spray catalyzed vinyl sealer that l rarely clean just add more sealer as needed.

FORUM GUIDELINES: Please review the guidelines below before posting at WOODWEB's Interactive Message Boards (return to top)

WOODWEB is a professional industrial woodworking site. Hobbyist and homeowner woodworking questions are inappropriate.

Messages should be kept reasonably short and on topic, relating to the focus of the forum. Responses should relate to the original question.

A valid email return address must be included with each message.

Advertising is inappropriate. The only exceptions are the Classified Ads Exchange, Machinery Exchange, Lumber Exchange, and Job Opportunities and Services Exchange. When posting listings in these areas, review the posting instructions carefully.

Subject lines may be edited for length and clarity.

"Cross posting" is not permitted. Choose the best forum for your question, and post your question at one forum only.

Messages requesting private responses will be removed - Forums are designed to provide information and assistance for all of our visitors. Private response requests are appropriate at WOODWEB's Exchanges and Job Opportunities and Services.

Messages that accuse businesses or individuals of alleged negative actions or behavior are inappropriate since WOODWEB is unable to verify or substantiate the claims.

Posts with the intent of soliciting answers to surveys are not appropriate. Contact WOODWEB for more information on initiating a survey.

Excessive forum participation by an individual upsets the balance of a healthy forum atmosphere. Individuals who excessively post responses containing marginal content will be considered repeat forum abusers.

Responses that initiate or support inappropriate and off-topic discussion of general politics detract from the professional woodworking focus of WOODWEB, and will be removed.

Participants are encouraged to use their real name when posting. Intentionally using another persons name is prohibited, and posts of this nature will be removed at WOODWEB's discretion.

Comments, questions, or criticisms regarding Forum policies should be directed to WOODWEB's Systems Administrator

WOODWEB's forums are a highly regarded resource for professional woodworkers. Messages and responses that are crafted in a professional and civil manner strengthen this resource. Messages that do not reflect a professional tone reduce the value of our forums.

Messages are inappropriate when their content: is deemed libelous in nature or is based on rumor, fails to meet basic standards of decorum, contains blatant advertising or inappropriate emphasis on self promotion (return to top).

Libel: Posts which defame an individual or organization, or employ a tone which can be viewed as malicious in nature. Words, pictures, or cartoons which expose a person or organization to public hatred, shame, disgrace, or ridicule, or induce an ill opinion of a person or organization, are libelous.

Improper Decorum: Posts which are profane, inciting, disrespectful or uncivil in tone, or maliciously worded. This also includes the venting of unsubstantiated opinions. Such messages do little to illuminate a given topic, and often have the opposite effect. Constructive criticism is acceptable (return to top).

Advertising: The purpose of WOODWEB Forums is to provide answers, not an advertising venue. Companies participating in a Forum discussion should provide specific answers to posted questions. WOODWEB suggests that businesses include an appropriately crafted signature in order to identify their company. A well meaning post that seems to be on-topic but contains a product reference may do your business more harm than good in the Forum environment. Forum users may perceive your references to specific products as unsolicited advertising (spam) and consciously avoid your web site or services. A well-crafted signature is an appropriate way to advertise your services that will not offend potential customers. Signatures should be limited to 4-6 lines, and may contain information that identifies the type of business you're in, your URL and email address (return to top).

Repeated Forum Abuse: Forum participants who repeatedly fail to follow WOODWEB's Forum Guidelines may encounter difficulty when attempting to post messages.

There are often situations when the original message asks for opinions: "What is the best widget for my type of shop?". To a certain extent, the person posting the message is responsible for including specific questions within the message. An open ended question (like the one above) invites responses that may read as sales pitches. WOODWEB suggests that companies responding to such a question provide detailed and substantive replies rather than responses that read as a one-sided product promotion. It has been WOODWEB's experience that substantive responses are held in higher regard by our readers (return to top).
