FAQs
What type of air compressor do I need?
You need an air compressor that can deliver at least 6.2 CFM at 100%.
What kind of paint can I use?
This spray gun is compatible with a wide range of paints and coatings, including automotive paints and clear coats. Check your paint manufacturer's recommendations for viscosity and use.
How do I clean the spray gun?
Disassemble the spray gun after each use and clean all components with the appropriate solvent for your paint. Pay special attention to the nozzle and air cap.
How do I adjust the spray pattern?
Use the spray pattern control knob to adjust the spray pattern. This allows you to select between a round, horizontal, or vertical fan pattern.
What is LVLP technology?
LVLP (Low Volume, Low Pressure) technology uses low air pressure to atomize the paint. This results in reduced overspray and more efficient paint transfer.
What is the recommended spraying distance?
Maintain a distance of about 6-8 inches from the surface for optimal results.
What is the cup size?
The cup has a 600ml capacity.
Troubleshooting
Spray gun spitting or sputtering
Check and clean the nozzle, air cap, and fluid passages. Ensure the paint is properly mixed and thinned to the correct viscosity. Make sure there are no air leaks.
Poor atomization
Adjust the air pressure and material flow. Ensure that the nozzle is the correct size for the paint being used. Check for blockages.
Uneven paint distribution
Adjust the spray pattern and the distance from the surface. Ensure even strokes and overlap each pass.
Paint runs or drips
Reduce material flow, increase the distance from the surface, or apply thinner coats. Make sure the paint is compatible with the surface and applied in the recommended temperature range.
Air leaks at fittings
Check and tighten all fittings. Replace worn seals or damaged parts.
