Guidance for HVLP Spray Gun Selection

Guidance for HVLP Spray Gun Selection

This page covers three spray gun families: T-Model, M-Model, and G-XPC — along with the matching air cap sets for each.

Spray Gun Feed Styles: Bottom-Feed vs. Gravity-Feed vs. Side-Mounted

  • Gravity-Feed (T75G / 7002G): With the cup above the gun, gravity-feed models are perfect for smaller jobs and tight spaces. They offer better maneuverability and are easier to clean, making them a favorite for detailed work like cabinetry.
  • Bottom-Feed (T70 / 7001): Ideal for larger projects, these guns have the fluid cup beneath the gun, allowing for higher capacity (up to 1 quart). This setup is well-balanced and reduces the need for frequent refills, making it suitable for extensive spraying tasks.
  • Side-Mounted Gravity-Feed (G-XPC): With the cup mounted to the side rather than on top, the G-XPC keeps the gun's profile low and well-balanced while still relying on gravity feed for consistent, low-effort spraying. This design improves sightlines to the workpiece and makes it easier to spray in tight or awkward positions, such as horizontal surfaces or corners, without the cup getting in the way.

All Fuji Spray spray guns work with all their HVLP turbines.

After selecting your spray gun, the next step is choosing the right air cap set for it.

Air Cap Sets

Air Cap Sets

Each air cap set includes a fluid nozzle, needle, and air cap. It's essential that the fluid nozzle and needle match in size, while the air cap can be adjusted one size up or down to fine-tune atomization. Factors like material viscosity, ambient conditions, and desired finish quality may influence your choice. It's often beneficial to experiment with different air cap sizes to achieve the best results for your specific project.

For a more detailed overview and visual guide, you can refer to the Fuji Spray Air Cap Quick Reference Sheet.

  • 0.8 mm: Ideal for ultra-fine applications such as inks, dyes, and touch-up work. Best suited for artists and highly detailed projects.
  • 1.0 mm: Perfect for fine finishing tasks, including water-based lacquers, sealers, and stains. This is a versatile choice for most clear finishes.
  • 1.3 mm: Offers a slightly higher output, making it suitable for automotive enamels, catalyzed lacquers, and latex paints on cabinetry and trim.
  • 1.5 mm: Provides medium output, ideal for spraying walls, ceilings, and larger surfaces with materials like primers and oil-based paints.
  • 1.8 mm: Designed for high output applications, including thick coatings like epoxy, adhesives, and multi-fleck paints.
  • 2.0 mm and 2.5 mm: These sizes are for very high output needs, suitable for industrial primers, texture coatings, and heavy latex applications on large surfaces.

Fuji Spray T-Model and M-Model guns come with a 1.3 mm air cap set. The G-XPC gun comes with a 1.4 mm air cap set.
