When a stream of paint is exposed in the air with pressure, paint droplets are formed. The nozzle of the spray gun smoothly and evenly covers the painting surface. Some spray guns of this type may require you to adjust the paint thickness by diluting them with liquid, so that the paint gets evenly distributed on the surface. The recommended spraying distance that one should maintain is around 6\u201d to 12\u201d for air spray guns. These types of spray guns are used to conduct high-quality finishing work for instance automotive work or to conduct small to medium exterior and interior painting projects.<\/p>\n

Electric Airless Spray Guns<\/h3>\n

Airless spray guns are considered most efficient as they paint the surface faster and better. Airless spray guns eliminate the possibility of over spraying and are considered to be the fastest. Paint is directed through a tiny hole in the spray gun which is then evenly applied to the intended surface. The spray gun comes with reversible tips that prevent the formation of clogs due to dried paint or dirt. A spraying distance of 12\u201d is suggested for airless spray guns. Airless spray guns provide uniform paint coverage on a wide variety of surfaces. These spray guns are apt to execute large exterior and interior painting projects.<\/p>\n

HVLP Spray guns<\/h3>\n

The High-volume, low-pressure (HVLP) spray guns break up the paint and drive it into the nozzle by using high volume of air. An extra low-pressure air stream is transferred through the nozzle that results in creating a mist-like spray pattern. These types of spray guns are ideal for executing interior applications or delicate designing work. One must maintain spraying distance between 6″ to 8″.<\/p>\n
