These types of guns are often used for architectural coatings, interior decor, or furnitre finishing. Not only does this reduce the number of materials you are using, and wastage of materials, but it also helps to prevent unnecessary over-spray. High volume low pressure (HVLP) guns allow a higher proportion of paint or coating to reach the target surface. This is then released from the spray gun in a fine spray to cover your surface. When you press the trigger, the compressed air and paint are mixed to break down the paint particles. You will find there are hand-held guns as well as automated spray guns with interchangeable heads that allows for different patterns of spray, as well as high-end guns which can be customised and completely rebuilt.Įvery air gun has an air compressor, paint basin and nozzle. Spray guns are like air brushes, but they generally use larger equipment and are used to cover bigger surface areas with an even coating of liquid.


You'll find a huge range of different spray guns available, whether they be airless, gravity-fed, suction, or pressure fed, but you'll need to choose the one to best suit your requirements. With so many different variables to consider when purchasing a spray gun for your project, it can often be difficult to know where to start.
