How to tell if a sprayer is HVLP or not?
Hi all,
I'm just getting into painting...and trying out some things before I start spending hard earned cash. I have a gun...here's the link to it: http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/4F340 I sprayed a 1 part plolyu on my dad's outboard engine and cover. Went pretty well, but now I'm about to start a major project painting my 36ft boat (will be using a 2 pt poly - Imron likely). So my question is...how can I tell if this gun is a conventional air or a conversion HVLP? Finally, does conventional air sprayers use less CFM (ie, a smaller compressor requirement) than HVLP? Thanks for all your help! Ed |

if your cup is on top (gravity fed) its an hvlp,,if under or if de-tached pressurized cup its conventional,,atomizer and that is better for boat paint,,but your tip is the important part,,finer the better,,,,,to a point,and a hvlp takes less air,,High Volume Low Pressure

"the1much" is wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. The Devilbiss Plus, Iwata W400LV and the Sata RP3000 are all examples of non-hvlp gravity fed guns.
