Choosing an HVLP Spray Gun

When you are choosing a spray gun, it is important to understand the differences between airless and atomised guns. The former requires large volumes of air, typically 16 cfm or more. The latter has a lower air cap pressure, resulting in average atomisation of high-solid paints. As a result, operators often over-increase the air pressure, reducing transfer efficiency. HTE spray guns address these issues by eliminating the need for excessive air pressure.

HVLP (high volume, low pressure) technology is more complex but offers greater adjustability and durability than conventional spray guns. The high-volume, low-pressure version runs on a compressor or pump, and can move a large amount of material quickly. In contrast, conventional spray guns are more expensive and require a dedicated compressor, and waste material while spraying. Nevertheless, an HVLP gun is a great option if you are a professional.


HVLP (High-Volume Pressure) spray guns are generally compatible with household power supplies. You should be sure to check the wattage of the motor before purchasing a model, as a low-wattage unit will struggle to move a high-viscosity, durable material. You should also consider the noise produced by the device. Fortunately, cleaning HVLP spray guns is not difficult, but can be time-consuming. Compact models are the easiest to clean, while professional ones require more disassembly.




The softer spray of an HVLP gun will be more effective at sticking to the part. It is also environmentally friendly because it will reduce material waste and air pollution. Moreover, HVLP guns have multiple orifices surrounding the fluid nozzle. The final product will be a much softer and less-hardened finish than before. If you want to get the most benefits from your spray gun, make sure to test it out by using it before you purchase it.

The HVLP type of spray gun will give you the highest transfer efficiency. This type is best for high-quality spraying of plastic and metal parts. It is important to use the correct hose and adapter for the best results. It is very important to choose the right air-pressure-based HVLP gun to avoid any unnecessary overspray. A good tip will ensure that the spray is more accurate and effective. If you use a standard air-pressure pump, it will be more efficient in getting the job done.


There are different types of spray guns available. The two-thirds rule applies to air-based atomized paints. The two-thirds rule refers to the ratio of air to coatings. The one-third rule is applicable to both types of spray guns. A high-quality HVLP gun will provide a smoother finish than an atomized one. If you do not know which type of gun you need, you should consider the features of each type.
