I was watching a program from Canada where they used the Turbo and even from my own experience, it makes more of a mess than it's worth. They said it doesn't "atomize" the paint, it just comes out with a vengence. I painted an old camper shell with it and even with the windows completely masked the paint got under it and I spent 2 days scraping it off of the glass.

Very fair assessment. I've tried it a few times and only been happy once. And that was just on a rolling Camaro shell, with NOTHING to mask off. And the black paint dried fast in the sun.
