In the past, HVLP's were better for a base, or spot repair type clears, but, in general, a lousy large job clear gun using higher solids clears.
RPs were the guns to use for clear as well as the LPHs guns.
Although the RPs and LPHs were also good base guns.
Things change, and the newer guns may be different as I dont know. I sprayed one sata hvlp on a fender with a painter only once, and I handed him his gun back as just not for my style of paint.
