water-based finishes and HVLP (high volume, low pressure) systems
that offer new options.

sprayed finish. Charron shows you how to choose the right system and
how each system works and gives a variety of techniques for using
them. You'll discover how to set up spray booths and rooms for
maximum efficiency, how to choose the right equipment, including
compressors, spray guns, filters and complete systems. Charts,
