I've been reading online that some airless HVLP manufacturers are claiming that a complete car can be painted using an airless HVLP gun and it look good, as the newer guns have improved the atomization of the paint. I also read that automotive paints need more reducer to spray through these guns, so you'll need to put more coats on.

Is this just marketing propaganda or can an airless HVLP gun be used to paint a car and have it looking good? Does anyone have direct experience and recommend an airless gun?

Why am I asking? Well, I'm finally starting on the restoration of my '70 Targa and need to 1) Get a good quality automotive paint gun/system, and 2) Learn how to paint.

My plan is to start the learning process by using the new system to paint the suspension, tin,.. and other pieces for the car.

Thoughts welcome.
