Sata RP here also, can't beat them for base clear. as for HVLP they have there good points and bad. The RP is in the HVLP family but they spray like a normal gravity gun. I've got several Sata jet guns I like to use a Sata jet 90 for my clear only gun with a 1.4mm tip. And an old sata Jet B for my sealer & light primers. Been painting for many years and yes I'm a spoiled Sata jet painter, in my option you can't go wrong with a Sata jet of any kind.
