I thought I'd note their www it is
www.tptools.com
TP used to be TIP and is a long time player in the car hobby tool
field, all of their stuff is 1st rate, sometimes it costs more but it
is usually worth it. Good deals on blast cabinets and pots are best
had at the major shows, Carlisle on this coast, especially at the end
of the day when they don't want to take show models home and will
take offers. I have the 99'er pressure pot, and have bought numerous
other things from them. The shop in Canfield, Ohio is great to go
walk through but hold onto your wallet less you buy everything. They
aren't always the best price though, just use em as a guide. Usually
more reasonable than Eastwood. I'd shy from a turbine HVLP system as
the things spray dry despite what they claim, the learning curve is
steep to use em well. Plus a fair 5hp compressor (which I'd buy at
SAM'S club) will be more versatile for tools etc. Look around used
to I gave $50 for a 18 cfm @ 180 psi Korean war surplus DeVilbiss
with 5hp B&S gas engine and a 5hp electric as well, thing can pump
all day long. TP wants $159 for the Sharpe Cobalt gun right now, $99
for some imports, like I said I got a deal and paid $175 for the SGF
($225 list) a few years ago local so look around.
