One of the advantages of the HVLP system is the lack of over spray and the need to mask off windows and doors. I can spray within about 1 inch of a window with out over spray and there is almost no paint dust to clean up when done. It is not as fast as an airless system but when you figure in the prep and clean up time they are probably about equal. I keep left over lengths of vinyl siding which I rip on the table saw to remove the nail strip and use for throw away paint shields. Of course I'm not doing a whole house project either, but for smaller jobs I'll opt for the HVLP system every time. When staining the deck I use a cheap plastic tarp draped over the railing to keep the stain from spraying out on the yard or house through the lattice work.

And we had not pored the floor yet so over spray was no problem once we taped off the windows and doors. Still a big project and a lot of scaffolding to push around. Ray
