Sealer Choice for HVLP

[Stuart Nabors 14]

I'm working on an HVLP setup (remote cup and gun run from a portable compressor) for '08 and am curious to know what sealers guys have had success with (or not) running HVLP. I've had success with pre-VOC Olympic Max but have run no water-based product through the HVLP. Also curious about semi transparents. What works with HVLP, what doesn't? Thanks!

Almost anything of a stain works with hvlp... thicker paints may present issue if not well thinned.

Might want to run a search on hvlp to review some of the infos already offered up..

Thanks, Kevin. I have been able to get a ton of information on hvlp hardware using the search function....I'm more interested in hearing about what to expect from different sealers--esp water base--with hvlp. Do you use floetrol to thin the semitransparent stuff?

We love ours with both. You might want to invest in a few different tips...

What sprayer is it?
