Why use a LVLP Gravity Spraygun
|
|
|
|
1. Lower Air Consumption
|
|
|
|
Requires less CFM (cubic feet per minute) from your air compressor.
|
|
|
|
Ideal for small compressors and home garages.
|
|
|
|
2. Excellent Transfer Efficiency
|
|
|
|
Wastes less material compared to HVLP (High Volume, Low Pressure) or conventional guns.
|
|
|
|
More paint ends up on the surface, saving product and money.
|
|
|
|
3. Smooth, Fine Atomization
|
|
|
|
Delivers a clean, even finish—great for touch-ups, base coats, and clear coats.
|
|
|
|
Gravity feed ensures consistent flow without overspray mess.
|
|
|
|
4. Great for Detail Work
|
|
|
|
Precision spraying with reduced blowback.
|
|
|
|
Perfect for tight areas, panels, and custom jobs.
|
|
|
|
5. Environmentally Friendly
|
|
|
|
Reduced overspray and material loss means fewer VOCs in the air.
|
|
|
|
Easier cleanup and less hazardous waste.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

The benefits of a LVLP Gravity Spraygun
|
|
|
|
1. Lower Air Consumption
|
|
|
|
Uses significantly less air (CFM) than HVLP guns.
|
|
|
|
Ideal for small air compressors—no need for high-output equipment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Saves Paint & Money
|
|
|
|
High transfer efficiency—more paint lands on the surface, less wasted as overspray.
|
|
|
|
Reduces paint costs over time, especially in repetitive use.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Smooth, Professional Finish
|
|
|
|
Produces a fine atomized spray for even coverage.
|
|
|
|
Great for basecoats, clearcoats, primers, and detail work.
|
|
|
|
Especially effective on smaller panels or touch-up jobs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Easy to Use & Control
|
|
|
|
Lower pressure = less blowback and easier handling.
|
|
|
|
Perfect for DIYers, hobbyists, and small shop techs.
|
|
|
|
Gravity feed allows for efficient material use with minimal waste.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. More Environmentally Friendly
|
|
|
|
Reduced overspray means fewer airborne VOCs.
|
|
|
|
Easier cleanup and less impact on surrounding areas.
|
|
|
|
|
|
