Hi Malibu,
I can understand why you disagree. But I believe there is much confusion over the technologies and definitions.
"TrueHVLP" is a trade name and marketing, it is trade marked by a turbine company. I have used turbines and compressors. The manufacturer you use has "conversion guns", because they are converting a turbine gun to go with a compressor system. HVLP is a standard, the standard states that you need 65% transfer efficiency and cannot exceed 10psi at the tip, that is the "True definition" of HVLP. How you get there doesn't matter. The turbine is a vacuum in reverse to simplify things and moves enough air at a lower pressure to feed their particular gun. HVLP guns used on compressed air system take in line air from a smaller size line to a larger size airchamber reducing the pressure and increasing the volume. Just a different technology and much more effective. If you go with the right system and compressor can be much more versatile, quieter, smaller, less expensive to buy and maintain, easier cleaning, better spraying and atomization than a turbine. You have to be real careful though, because there are many systems that aren't good on either side.
Sun,
I believe the compressors you are talking about handle the smaller airbrushes that take 20-40 minutes to spray someone. Again, the definition of low pressure in HVLP is 10 psi at the tip of the gun. And those smaller airbrushes put out a much smaller volumn with 20-40 psi. With the right system you can literally 2 coat someone in under 5 minutes using 2 oz.
