: No so much with modern spray equipment. The old HVHP guns created a
: fog, but the new systems are required to have 65% efficiency by
: law for VOC compliance. They're able to run much lower pressures
: and get better atomization than an HVHP.
: http://www.sata.com/index.php?id=satajet3000khvlp&L=11 I've
: used this system and there's really not much waste at all, and
: the finish is better because the atomization is incredible and
: there's virtually no overspray. I haven't sprayed filler, but
: I've seen it done. It doesn't seem to be much different.

: So, even with an older gun like mine (Binks Mach 1, and an old
: Campbell Hausefield touchup gun)- you've got to look at time
: too. For clear topcoat of Awlcraft 2000, it recommends two
: coats, three if you're going to rub it out aggressively, and it
: takes an hour to spray all three coats. If you spend longer
: you've messed it up. That's worth something to me.

Yeah that's true, been many years since I had a shop where I'd consider spraying paint or varnish.
