My personal equipment is a home built compressor and some old body-shop guns. Unfortunately, that type of equipment is old hat in the fine finish business. Today they use HVLP (high volume low pressure) compressors and guns. This new stuff gets more finish on the work and much less into the air. It's supposed to give a much better finish too.
I don't spray paint any more because I think I have already inhaled my quota of paint particles.
