A conversion HVLP does indeed use a traditional compressor - albeit one
with a pretty good SCFM delivery rate. They are not just gravity feed
guns with a big orifice on the mixer cap - not even the HF models. A big
orifice does nothing to make HVLP. That error in judgement would be
immediately obvious with the first coat of paint. I've used the HF guns
and though I wouldn't trade my DeVilbiss for one of them, they are quite
workable guns.

Conversion HVLP works OK, but is a big waste of energy compared to using a
turbine. The turbine also delivers drier air.
