I am sure that is great in tight spaces. How many battery packs are on that?  

My supplied air respirator uses the same pump that is on the Sprayfine HVLP. (I know it does not run on batteries and is not portable)

Sort of by accident. That purple has a duller in it and it shifts a bit depending on angle and light.  It is one of the PPG single stage product lines, not water base.

I like flat surfaces that I never have to wax.  I hate showing at an event and having to do an hour of detailing.  Armorall the wheels and crack a beer.

Every one of these were built using pneumatic tools.

Yes, the huge reduction in overspray and no noisy ass compressor, with water/oil issues  is amazing.
110 wall outlet.

I'd probably go with a stage 5 if I had to do it over again.

I use this https://www.paintsprayersplus.com/Fuji-Spray-Mini-Mite-4-Platinum-T75G-HVLP-Spray-Sy-p/fj2804-t75g.htm

Their guns are top notch!

To be fair, I use a non turbine hvlp gun I have adapted to turbine fitting for a primer gun. I reserve my nice gun for base clear. But may purchase another for just clear, and leave one for base.

I'd go with this if I had to do it again, https://www.paintsprayersplus.com/Fuji-Spray-GXPC-Q5-Platinum-HVLP-Turbine-Sprayer-p/fjgxpc-2895.htm

Or the equivalent from Apollo or Eastwood (rebadged Apollo)

With a turbine sprayer you will have to be cognizant of watching heat, they get hot as hell. Which impacts spraying. So using the slowest activators/polar helps.

They are far and above superior to air compressor sprayers though in my personal opinion for a hobbyist. Plus they are portable and you can do stuff like cabinets etc.
