Product Information
Full details
The Fast Mover Tools UK LVLP Gravity Spray Gun is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals seeking efficient, high-transfer coating application, especially with smaller air compressors. Its key benefit is low air consumption combined with high transfer efficiency, making it ideal for water-based paints and solvent-based coatings. A potential caveat is the need for the correct adapter for certain disposable pot systems.

FAQs
What is the advantage of LVLP technology?
LVLP (Low Volume Low Pressure) technology provides high transfer efficiency, meaning more paint lands on the surface and less is lost in overspray. This saves material and reduces cleanup.
Can I use this spray gun with my small air compressor?
Yes, this gun is designed for low air consumption (4.2-6 CFM), making it ideal for smaller compressors.
What types of paint can I use with this gun?
The gun is suitable for both water-based and solvent-based paints.
How do I clean the spray gun?
After each use, disassemble the nozzle, needle, and air cap, and clean them with the appropriate solvent or water. Flush the pot and internal passages. Refer to the care section for detailed instructions.
What is the purpose of the color coding?
The color coding helps in easily identifying and setting up different parts of the spray gun for efficient assembly and maintenance.
How do I connect it to a 3M PPS system?
You will need to use adaptor number 2 (3M code 16032) to connect the gun to the 3M disposable pot system.
Which nozzle size should I use?
The 1.3mm and 1.4mm nozzles are generally good for clear coats and lighter finishes, while the 1.8mm nozzle is better suited for primers and thicker coatings. Choose based on your paint's viscosity.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray pattern
Check for blockages in the nozzle, needle, or air cap. Ensure correct air pressure and fluid adjustment. Clean the spray gun thoroughly.
Leaking paint from the nozzle tip
Ensure the needle is fully seated when the trigger is released. Check for damage to the needle or nozzle seat. Tighten the fluid tip assembly.
Low material output
Verify the fluid needle is moving correctly. Check for clogs in the fluid tube or needle jet. Ensure the paint in the pot is sufficiently thinned if necessary.
Spraying inconsistently
Clean the air cap and fluid nozzle. Ensure the paint is properly mixed and free of debris. Check air inlet and fluid adjustments.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent for users with smaller air compressors due to low CFM requirement.
- High transfer efficiency reduces paint waste and improves coating quality.
- Suitable for a wide range of paints, including water-based formulations.
- Gravity feed system ensures consistent paint flow.
- Color-coding simplifies setup and maintenance.
Cons
- Requires a specific adapter for 3M PPS compatibility.
- The 1.3mm nozzle might be too fine for very thick coatings.
- Performance can vary slightly based on specific air compressor setup.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the air inlet (1/4") is securely connected to your air source. Select the appropriate fluid tip size (1.3mm, 1.4mm, or 1.8mm) based on the coating viscosity. Attach the 600cc gravity pot. For 3M PPS users, ensure adaptor number 2 (3M code 16032) is used.
Compatibility: The gun is compatible with standard 1/4" air hose fittings. It works with both water-based and solvent-based paints. For disposable pot systems, the 3M PPS adapter is required.
Care: After each use, clean the fluid tip, needle, and air cap thoroughly with the appropriate cleaner for the type of paint used. Flush the pot and internal passages with solvent or water as applicable. Periodically check and clean the air inlet filter. Store the gun in a clean, dry place.
