HVLP for Wrought Iron Fences: Cost and Overspray Reduction

HVLP sprayer for I use it for cabinets and I use it for wrought iron fences and I'll talk about the wrought iron fences um I'll talk about the rod on fences first and I'll and I'll talk about um as I did a comparison and a scenario to see the amount of paint you would lose in overspray and the headache that it creates by doing a wrought iron pool fence with an airless sprayer and the smallest tip size I can use and running it down really low pressure and then because I have this unique opportunity Community where I was working in a subdivision that had multiple pools and weren't doing the wrought iron fences at their pools so they're the same you know same pool same high-end fence setup and the First Fence we did we used an airless sprayer we used four by eight sheets of plywood to control overspray and drop cloths and I think we had like five sheets of um four by eight sheets apply with that somebody would hold up you know up against The Rock that's expensive expensive I believe we used 22 gallons of um it was Rust-Oleum industrial enamel that we sprayed on that fence and the the the the Forbidden sheets of plywood were so thick with paint that it wasn't even usable we had to just throw them away they were so dang Abby and we really messed up a bunch of drop cloths you know because the oil-based product that it takes quite a while for it to dry um and folding up the drop gloss they would they turn lights like say and paper and so it was costly getting the 4x8 sheets it was a messy with the drop gloss um in an early spring because the fan width on an airless sprayer you can the smallest size you can get down to is about you know that size it's like a two four inch pattern like a 206 a 208 I couldn't find any one um size tips they were all tubes so then tell me what it was like with the hlp so then we jumped over did the next fence with an HVLP and um 22 gallons on one fence the next fence with an HVLP was for three gallons took three gallons so at fifty dollars a gallon um 22. so you're like 19 19 times 50. I'm not a mathematician that's a lot of money I'm lost in overspray and pain plus the four by eight sheets that we bought that we had to throw away plus the the drop cloths that got all messed up plus breathing paint nasty cleanup so that the difference between the HVLP we were able to dial it down I I dialed it down to about you know a circular pattern you know probably like a one inch diameter circular pattern and that's what I was spraying with it…
