Understanding LVLP Spray Guns: A Beginner’s Guide
What is an LVLP Spray Gun? An LVLP (Low Volume, Low Pressure) spray gun is a specialized tool designed for applying coatings such as paint, varnish, or lacquer. It works by atomizing the coating material into a fine mist, which is then directed onto the surface being painted. The “low volume” refers to the reduced air used compared to conventional spray guns, while “low pressure” indicates the lower air pressure required for atomization. How Does an LVLP Spray Gun Work? When compressed air is passed through the air cap, a vacuum is created that draws the coating material from the
