What is the difference between HVLP and LVLP spray gun?
HVLP guns use more CFM and will require users to size their air compressor accordingly. On the other hand, LVLP atomizes better, sprays faster and lays down a better finish while using less CFM but high air pressure.
What’s the difference between HVLP and RP spray guns?
HVLP stands for “High Volume Low Pressure” and denotes an internationally recognized application method. RP is a SATA acronym for “Reduced Pressure” which is optimized high-pressure spray guns that achieve a great finish and transfer efficiency of over 65%.
How do you filter paint before spraying?
We recommend using a cone strainer holder to filter paint above a paint bucket. Available in multiple mesh counts (the higher the mesh count, the fewer impurities can filter through) Pump Strainers: Pump strainers are used to filter unwanted, superfine particles, specifically in spray equipment to prevent clogging.

How do you clean a paint sprayer filter?
Clean Clogged Airless Filters When airless filters get clogged, I’ve found the easiest way to remove the build-up is by soaking them in denatured alcohol, or ammonia, depending on the material in the sprayer, but denatured alcohol dissolves primer and paint fast.
