If you don't already have or want to buy an air compressor I recommend the HVLP highly. I have an air compressor and I still have an HVLP unit with the turbine so there is no need for the compressor. I bought an Accuspray because it was said to be, by some, the Cadillac of the HVLP systems. I'm not so sure that this is true anymore but it is a good one and I have had great results using it. Mike suggests Harbor fright and I disagree with him there. Generally cheap stuff that will wear out fast is my experience. I like to buy things only once. Hope this helps.
