FAQs
What is the main advantage of HVLP technology?
HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) technology provides higher transfer efficiency, meaning more paint lands on the surface and less is wasted in overspray. This saves paint and reduces environmental impact.
Can I use this spray gun with any type of paint?
The spray gun is suitable for a variety of paints, lacquers, and varnishes. However, the paint must be thinned to the correct viscosity for spray application, especially for the 1mm nozzle. Always follow the paint manufacturer's recommendations.
How often should I clean the spray gun?
It is crucial to clean the spray gun thoroughly immediately after each use to prevent paint from drying and clogging the internal components, nozzle, and air cap.
What air pressure should I use with this gun?
This HVLP gun is designed to operate with low air pressure, typically less than 10% psi output pressure, to maximize transfer efficiency. Refer to your air compressor's manual and adjust accordingly.
Is the 100ml cup sufficient for larger jobs?
The 100ml cup is best suited for smaller projects, touch-ups, or detail work. For larger surfaces, you will need to refill the cup frequently or consider an adapter for a larger cup if available.
What type of connectors are included?
The spray gun includes both UK and European standard 1/4" quick connectors for easy attachment to compatible air hoses.
Troubleshooting
Spray gun is not atomizing paint correctly (splattering or coarse spray)
Check that the nozzle and air cap are clean and correctly assembled. Ensure the paint is adequately thinned and the air pressure is set appropriately for HVLP operation. Verify the paint flow control is open enough.
Paint is not flowing from the cup
Confirm the paint is thinned correctly. Ensure the gravity feed cup is not obstructed and the air vent (if present) is clear. Check that the fluid needle is not blocked.
Uneven spray pattern
Clean the air cap and nozzle. Adjust the pattern control knob. Ensure consistent gun movement during spraying.
Air leaks from gun body
Inspect all seals and connections for damage or looseness. Tighten fittings and ensure all components are securely assembled.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Connect the spray gun to an air compressor using one of the included 1/4" quick connectors.
- Ensure the air compressor is set to the recommended operating pressure for HVLP guns (typically lower than conventional spray guns).
- Fill the 100ml paint cup with your chosen paint, thinning if necessary according to the paint manufacturer's instructions.
- Adjust the flow and pattern controls as needed before beginning to spray.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with standard air compressors providing a suitable air source.
