The hose is the key. Too long and you lose some of that volume of air that makes it work. Too short and the air is hot and doesn't play well with some paints. I'd run the firs part of the hose through an ice chest, maybe one loop. Gotta keep the turbine fairly close by when you don't have 25 feet of hose. Then the thing sucks up overspray even though they are supposed to have much less OS.
They work but are less than ideal. From a Graco airless to ancient cup guns and everything in between I must have 20 spray guns.
