by dripping, if you mean the paint running because of being laid on too heavy, then yes maybe an HVLP may help you.
I don't have experience with an HVLP cup gun used with a compressor, never bought one of those, I did have one powered by a turbine but did not like that, not enough volume for me. I do have one that is on a pressure pot but it does not atomize enough for my use, it may work fine for thinner paints like automotive paint but for cabinets I have to thin it a lot. Air assisted airless is more appropriate for cabinets but at a very high cost.
There has been lots of improvement over the years with the technology of HVLP type spray guns. Buy the best you can afford. I think Binks was one of the first to come out with one. good luck

	The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely. 1984 was a warning, not a guidebook! It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
