It will typically be a bit faster when spraying as well. Spraying Benjamin Moore® Advanced® with an airless can provide a finish similar in quality to HVLP. For a pressure feed HVLP, less thinning will be required. With a gravity fed compressed air HVLP, you will usually need to thin the product 5-10 percent. For a compressed air HVLP you will usually end up using a 1.8 mm tip. If you have a compressor available then a HVLP spray gun that uses your compressor can provide great performance and be less expensive than a turbine, more on Turbines vs Compressed Air HVLP can be found here. Thinning will be more important with 3 stage turbine. Additionally when spraying Benjamin Moore® Advanced® with HVLP you can thin the paint about 4 ounces per gallon, this will help ensure a smooth finish. As far as setting the spray pressure for a turbine if you have a pressure adjustment you can start at the middle to upper middle setting of output pressure, if you find you have orange peel you can increase the pressure. If you want more paint out of the gun increase the tip size, if you want less paint reduce the tip size. While these are the common tips sizes that are often used, you can adjust accordingly to your spray technique. For semi-gloss a 1.5 mm tip set will be a good option. For Benjamin Moore® Advanced® satin usually a 1.8 mm tip will allow you to easily spray the product. When using a HVLP turbine you want to match the proper tip to the paint you’re spraying. There will be two types of HVLP that you can use depending on if you have a compressor available or not, one will be a HVLP turbine and the other a HVLP Spray gun that runs off a compressor.įor Benjamin Moore® Advanced® we recommend a turbine with a minimum of 3 stages though a 4 or 5 stage HVLP turbine will make it much easier to spray a smooth finish and will require less material thinning. If you are planning on spraying Benjamin Moore® Advanced® and have decided that the extra control, potential for a finer finish, and reduced overspray that HVLP provides is best compared to an airless sprayer, then you it’s important to decide which HVLP sprayer will help spray the product well. Spray Equipment Suggestions for Benjamin Moore® Advanced® HVLP Generally, the roller should provide a smoother finish compared to the brush. If you don’t want to spray you can use a microfiber roller or a nylon/polyester blend brush.

An airless sprayer will generally create more overspray and provide slightly less control but can be easier to use for a new painter and can be bought for less. An HVLP will create less overspray but to have sufficient power to atomize Benjamin Moore® Advanced® may be a bit more expensive. You can apply Benjamin Moore® Advanced® with an HVLP sprayer or with an airless sprayer.
