How to Use Latex Paint in a HVLP Paint Gun<\/strong><\/h1>

High Volume Low Pressure, or HVLP paint guns<\/a> are popular for applying paint indoors. <\/p>

The low pressure used to draw the paint out of the gun significantly reduces the amount of over-spray produced by traditional compressed air paint guns. <\/p>

This lower pressure works well with oil-based paints and finishes but presents some obstacles when using thicker, heavier latex paint. <\/p>

These obstacles can be overcome with a bit of extra equipment and paint preparation.<\/p>

Paint Preparation<\/h2>
\"prepare<\/a><\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Quality latex paint is significantly thicker than traditional finishes and must be thinned before it is useful as a spray finish. <\/p>

Insufficient thinning results in the paint coming out of the spray gun in unsightly blobs or not at all. <\/p>

Thin the paint with water and mix well before spraying. <\/p>

<\/p>

The amount of water required varies with the brand and quality of the paint. <\/p>

Start by thinning the paint by adding 10 percent water and mixing thoroughly. <\/p>

If the paint is still too thick, add a small amount of water and mix again. Do not use more than 25 percent water in any paint. <\/p>

Excessive thinning reduces the paint’s ability to adhere to and cover a surface.<\/p>

Additives<\/h2>

When thinning alone doesn’t work, use a latex paint conditioner to decrease the viscosity. <\/p>

Latex paint conditioners are designed to improved the paint’s ability to flow without thinning the paint and impairing its ability to stick to and cover a surface.<\/p>

Straining<\/h2>
\"Use<\/a><\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Use a standard cone paint strainer when filling the paint gun cup. <\/p>

The opening on a standard HVLP nozzle is 1.4 millimeters and can be clogged with very small bits of debris. <\/p>

<\/p>

Once the nozzle is plugged, you will have to take the gun apart and clear the obstruction. <\/p>

This is a messy procedure that can be avoided by using a strainer. <\/p>

If you cannot locate a paint strainer, pantyhose make a good substitute.<\/p>

Hose Length<\/h2>
\"air<\/a><\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The turbine blower on an HVLP paint gun produces heat that is fed directly to the paint when using a short hose. <\/p>

Heating the paint reduces the drying time which affects its ability to flow and level out. <\/p>

Adding a six-foot section of air hose<\/a> between the gun and the turbine reduces the working temperature of the air atomizing the paint and alleviates this problem.<\/p>

Technique<\/h2>
\"using<\/a><\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Hold the gun no more than eight inches away from the surface you are painting. <\/p>

Start at the top on vertical surfaces. <\/p>

For horizontal surfaces, start along either edge and work your way toward the opposite edge. <\/p>

Fully wet the surface of a section before moving to the next.<\/p>

Test and Practice<\/h2>

Several factors are involved in getting the paint to the right viscosity. <\/p>

Temperature, humidity, turbine output and the physical characteristics of the paint all affect the paint’s ability to flow smoothly. <\/p>

Getting the right mix for your situation is a matter of trial and error. <\/p>

<\/p>

The best approach is to test spray the paint on a piece of cardboard or scrap each time you thin it. <\/p>

Once you have a mixture that flows smoothly, practice your spraying technique on the testing surface until you achieve a consistent finish. <\/p>

Wasting a small amount of paint practicing is less expensive and time-consuming than removing a bad paint job and starting from scratch.<\/p>
