general Operating Instructions
HVlP vs. conventional spray guns
Conventional
HVLP
Figure 7
Because conventional spray guns re-
quire a much higher air cap pressure
to atomize the paint than HVLP Spray
Guns, conventional guns have lower
transfer efficiencies and more over
-
spray. This translates to a significant
paint/material savings for HVLP guns,
in addition to making them more envi-
ronmentally friendly.
To qualify as HVLP, the dynamic
air pressure going in the Air Cap
(1) must be a maximum of 10 PSI.
The lower the air pressure, the less
bounce back and overspray.
Due to the viscosity of latex and
other water-based paints, they are
not recommended for use with HVLP
paint spraying systems.
Preparation
note:
Proper paint material mixture helps
to ensure less problems. Follow
the manufacturer’s directions. Most
materials will spray readily if they are
thinned properly.
general tips for Preparation:
Mix and thin the paint/materials
1.
thoroughly according to the manufac-
turer’s directions.
Carefully strain the paint/material
2.
through a paint strainer or piece of
cheese cloth.
Fill the Cup (6) to approximately 3/4

full.
Start the air compressor.

To adjust the spray pattern, set up a
5.
piece of scrap material to practice on.
While practicing on the scrap mate-
rial, check to see that the material
you are spraying has the appropriate
consistency. If it appears too thick,
add a very small amount of thinner
(not included). Use the proper thinner
for the type of paint you are using. BE
CAREFUL when thinning. Proceed
slowly, adding very minimal amounts.
NEVER exceed the manufacturer’s
thinning recommendations.
