Spray Gun Advice - HVLP? Thu, 08 December 2005 06:42 Go to previous message
Ive recently bought myself a compressor, with the intention of giving my car a respray. Its a 3hp direct drive 15 cfm and 80 litre tank.

It will be sprayed in acryllic and through my research most people have recommended a gun nozzle size of 1.8-2.0mm. Some people have recommended a HVLP (High volume low pressure) gun, but others say these need large compressors (20 cfm) is needed, and some others say I don't need a HVLP gun at all, just a normal gravity fed gun.

Can anyone tell me what the difference between a decent gravity fed gun, and a HVLP gun, in terms of usability and final finsh... apart from price Wink.

Thanks all
- Matt
