I have done it with a turbine HVLP setup from Wagner (model 8000 or
something like that, I think it was). You have to buy a hood and hook
it up with more of the same hose used by the HVLP for turbine to gun
connection. This has ordinary garden hose threads on it so a garden
hose "splitter" will allow you to feed both gun and hood. Larger HVLP
turbines will supply two guns or one gun and one hood. This is all ad
hoc engineering and not specifically recommended by the manufacturer.
YMMV.
