Last weekend at a party a long time Boeing airplane painter and former custom car painter told me to get an old Binks #7 (#3?) and spray lacquer. He said to forget about HVLP since it is much more prone to orange peel. He had some valid points about more air = better atomization and smaller drops, higher gloss with less sanding. I got to thinking that is perhaps why the basecoat/clearcoat is now the trend since EPA has all but outlawed the use of high atomization guns...good or bad. Any comments?

I have still not bought a paint gun but am getting very close...maybe I will just go borrow the neighbors gun and spray some test panels to see how much damage I can do!
