What PSI should my paint gun be at?
What PSI should my paint gun be at?
Setting the air pressure to about 28-29 PSI for clear will ensure you having great flow out. Most HVLP spray guns will use 10-14 scfm at 40 psi. This is volume of air pressure per cubic foot.
Why is my spray paint gun not spraying?
If your paint gun is not spraying paint at all, it’s most likely due to a clog either in the air vent hole or the hose. Clean any dried paint with a toothpick, and use a cleaning solvent to clear any remaining gunk. If you’ve cleaned your paint gun and find that it still isn’t spraying, take a look at the air supply.
What are the controls on a spray gun?
Most spray guns have three basic controls that will allow you to adjust for optimum performance on your projects. These controls are: the fluid adjustment, the fan control, and the air micrometer (see diagram).
How big of an air compressor do I need for a HVLP spray gun?
A gun that uses 15 CFM of air doesn’t need a compressor that will produce that much air as long as you have a tank large enough to hold enough reserve air to get you around the car. I usually recommend that you use a compressor that has a minimum of 60 gallon tank and produces around 13 CFM.
Is a gravity feed spray gun better?
Summary. In most cases, a gravity feed paint spray gun is the better choice thanks to its efficient and versatile design. Although HVLP is a requirement in most areas, whether or not you use an HVLP gun, gravity feed offers the advantage over conventional feed because of the lower air pressure requirement.
Why is my paint gun spraying dry?
