Getting the Right Spray Setup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Any style spray gun<\/a> can give you good results if it has the right fluid tip size. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recommended tip size for the paint or primer you are using can be found in its\u00a0Product Data Sheet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Larger tip sizes are used with thicker material, like primers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They create less overspray, but more texture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smaller tip sizes are used with thinner materials and can give you a smoother appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The size, in millimeters, will normally be marked on the fluid tip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following chart gives recommended tip size ranges for gravity feed guns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paint Gun Feed Styles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Gravity Feed Guns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
<\/div>
\n
\n

Gravity Feed Guns<\/a>\u00a0are the most popular style for painting cars. They use less air and paint than siphon guns and can lay out a paint job with very little texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Siphon Feed Guns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Siphon Feed Guns<\/a> can spray a paint job with very little texture, but they use a lot more paint and air to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pressure Feed Guns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
<\/div>
\n
\n

Pressure Feed Guns are usually used for thick paints where appearance isn\u2019t a main concern. They use the least amount of paint and air, but can give a lot of texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does HVLP mean?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Any feed style can be an\u00a0HVLP Paint Gun<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

HVLP stands for high volume, low pressure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These guns create less overspray. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means more paint goes on the car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The downside is, they use more CFM (cubic feet per minute) of air compared to\u00a0Non-HVLP Paint Guns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either one will work well when matched to the right size compressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matching your paint gun and compressor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"air<\/a><\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

For small projects or single panels, your\u00a0Air Compressor\u00a0should be rated at 100% of the CFM required by your paint gun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re spraying a whole car, you\u2019ll want 150-200%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • A 15-20 CFM air compressor is a good match for a 10 CFM paint gun.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • A 6-8 CFM air compressor is a good match for a 4 CFM paint gun.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Compressors with lower CFM ratings won\u2019t be able to maintain consistent pressure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This will result in texture and runs.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
