I have only used HVLP guns so I can't speak from experience, but I
have read that HVLP guns apply paint more _slowly_ than the high
pressure guns. With a turbine, you are using warmer air (85 degrees
=46.) than you would with a standard compressor, and the paint tends to
go on a little drier than you would expect. That's easy to compensate
for by fiddling with the reducers, thinners, etc. Warm air is one
argument against increased runs and sags. The good part is that
turbine pumped air has no condensation and no added oil to worry
about. In theory, the HVLP system could pay for itself with the paint
that you don't waste.
