Spray gun painting can be used for both manufacturing
processes as well as many household projects. There are two different types of
air gun spraying: the manual operation method and the automatic process. In the
manual method the air gun sprayer is hand held and moved back and forth over
the surface, each stroke overlapping the last to ensure a continuous coat. In
the automatic process the gun head is attached to a mounting block and delivers
a stream of paint from that position.
There are a few different types of spray guns to use
depending on your needs:
HVLP Spray Guns: HVLP which stands for high volume low
pressure are similar to a conventional spray gun using a compressor to supply
the air. The spray gun itself requires low pressure (LP) and a higher volume
(HV) of air is used to aerosolize and propel the paint at a lower air pressure.
HVLP Spray Gun Systems are most commonly used in the automotive, marine,
architectural coating, furniture finishing, and cosmetic industry.
LVLP Spray Guns: LVLP which stands for low volume low
pressure uses a lower volume of air to atomize the paint at the cap. These
spray guns, like HVLP systems, operate at low pressure but also have a low
volume of paint coating. Unlike HVLP guns LVLP guns can be used with a smaller
compressor. These spray gun systems are great for small shops, woodworkers, or
smaller projects in general.
Electrostatic Spray Painting: Electrostatic painting is when
an electrically charged powder is sprayed on a surface that is charged with the
opposite electrical charge. The whole is then baked to properly attach paint.
It's much more durable than liquid paint and it's an environmentally friendly
process because there are no solvents to evaporate into the air or go down the
drain. Electrostatic painting can be used on most plastics and any kind of metals.
This type of painting is commonly used to paint car bodies, bicycles,
elevators, and some office equipment.
Airless Spray Guns: Airless Spray Guns are connected to a
high pressure pump to atomize the coating using different tip sizes to reach
desired atomization and spray pattern size. Airless spray gun coatings
penetrate better into pits and crevices, and have a thick wet coating which
reduces the number of applications. These systems are commonly used by contract
painters to paint heavy duty industrial, chemical, and marine coatings and
linings.
Air Assisted Airless Spray Guns: Air Assisted Airless Spray
Guns are very similar to the airless gun in that high fluid pressures force the
coating through a small orifice in the spray gun cap. The gun differs from the
airless spray gun in that the fluid pressures are lower. These spray guns
provide high transfer rate and increase application speed and is best used with
flat line applications. These spray guns are commonly found in factory finish
shops.
