10 Best HVLP Spray Guns

The gravity feed design eliminates waste material, saves money and incorporates precision machined components to deliver outstanding finishes. An HVLP (high volume low pressure) technology as its name suggests, reduces the incoming pressure to 10 PSI or less at the air cap. The purpose of this spray gun is to break the primer, sealer, and paint into small particles. Then, it lays them out in neat rows. These HVLP spray guns can perform auto refinishing shops as well. An HVLP spray guns can be 30 percent more effective than other spray guns, and there is a far less possibility of over-spray, making them better for the environment.

“I am so glad I got this sprayer, it produces professional results and works great. It is very well made and you will not be disappointed; clean up usually takes me about 10 minutes to get it all clean using latex based paints. I have not tried oil based or stains yet, but I plan to. On a side note, it works even on my little air compressor (emglow 4gal E810-4v, now called a Jenny) It is 4.0 SCFM delivered @ 90 PSI. It regularly runs when using the sprayer, but I usually let the air compressor catch up often. It ‘d be able to use a bigger compressor, but I don’t have one. I would not try painting a house using my small compressor, but for doors, and lower paint projects it great. A water separator is a must, and I would get a pressure regulator valve with a gauge at the gun also, so you could turn the PSI all the way up at the pump and regulate it at the weapon. It says 60psi max, but I run mine at about 60-80 since my PSI drops fast on my four gal compressor.” – Amazon’s Customer Review.

This gravity-feed spray gun is designed to provide optimal atomization and particle size. The Stainless fluid needle and nozzle are compatible with today’s advanced coatings, and the 600-millilitre acetal cup allows viewing of paint fluid level while providing chemical resistance and easy cleaning. The in-line 80 mesh filter removes dirt particles thus, preventing defects. The packageI includes adjustable fluid, pattern and air controls. The aluminum body allows ease of clean up and durability. This spray gun has material flow rate and pattern adjustment capabilities. Its gravity-feed design sprays light to medium viscosity materials. It includes 1/4-inch male NPS air inlet. 

“I have a lot of spray equipment and this is not the best gun I have, but it is a fantastic value. My only complaint is that they did not include the needle size! As far as I can tell it’s 1.4mm. For that, they lose one star. They state “Stainless steel fluid needle and nozzle are compatible with today’s advanced coatings.” The reality is, you can only spray thin materials. If you want to paint your car, go for it. If you want to load up some latex paint or high solids lacquers, forget about it. I mostly use a 1.8 or larger in gravity feed for my work. Produces an excellent finish if you keep it clean.” – Amazon’s Customer Review.

“I didn’t think this tool would work for me because I was planning on trying to use it with Minwax Polyshade which was thick and I also have a feeble $50 compressor (Central Pneumatic 1/3 HP, 3 Gallon). I gave it a shot anyway since it was only $16, to my amazement it worked awesomely. I set PSI on the compressor to about 45, and it does turn on frequently to fill the tank back up while I’m working, but since I was stopping in between spraying cabinet doors, it, was not a problem. Extremely pleased with this product.” – Amazon’s Customer Review.

“I have had many guns over the years ranging from top of the line to the bottom of the barrel. This gun performs very well, and for the price, it just cannot be beaten. It can lay a relatively thick coat quickly which is a typical weak spot with most syphon guns. The help adjustment works to control the velocity of spray. Overall a winner. I will be getting a couple more.” – Amazon’s Customer Review.

This spray gun is not only lightweight but also compact. It includes FX3000 gun, 600cc aluminum cup, wrench and cleaning brush. It makes an excellent, well-defined fan pattern. The finish on the product can be cleaned, and the gun itself is well-balanced and easy to use. The unit atomizes better than any other product but consequently comes with a slow outflow of the product. The result is an excellent finish that takes a while to lay down.

“I have owned this gun for over three years now. I learned to spray with an accuracy 10, which is a four hundred dollar help spray gun. The grace fx3000 sprays very well even when compared to higher end guns. Air consumption is acceptable, and the spray pattern is easy to control. Makes for a very nice gun for daily or weekend use. I highly recommend this gun as a cheap price alternative, especially since replacement parts are readily available. Lays down paint very smoothly. I’ve sprayed metallic, reliable and transparent with the standard tip for this gun with highly satisfactory results. Gun Model number 288880 includes a 1.4 mm tip size which is ideal for light to medium viscosity fluids And me good overall spray gun setup. The fx3000 is also available in 1mm(288878) 1.3mm(288879) ” – Amazon’s Customer Review.

“This thing is AWESOME! Don’t let the cheap cost fool you; it still sprays like the best of them! The only thing that might be “cheap” is some pieces of the build on the gun, but as long as you don’t throw it on the ground, it should hold up. Worth the money! Just remember to run some paint thinner through the nozzle and clean everything after you are done spraying!” – Amazon’s Customer Review.

This HVLP system has a professional non-bleed spray gun with adjustable pattern fan control. It comes with an installed 1.3 mm air cap-set.

“I owned a refinishing company for over 20 years and used a system costing over $1500.00 when I bought it 20 years ago. I retired in 2000 and used the system until it stopped working three months ago. I wanted a system I could use as needed without paying a high price. After checking different systems, I settled on the Fuji, and this system works as well as the $1500.00 one I had. I know it might not hold up for professional work day in and day out, but this is an excellent system. Glad, I brought it.” – Amazon’s Customer Review.

The 1.7 mm nozzle is ideal for the metallic basecoat, primer and a variety of automotive and household painting projects.

“I’ve used this gun exclusively on 25-35 different projects now, so I feel I have adequate experience to give an opinion. It’s a great gun. Sure it’s only got the 1.7 tip, but I’ve shot everything from latex to shellac through the thing, and I’ve gotten excellent results. Yes, it’s very basic, but it’s held up fantastically for me for over a year now. I also have an expensive DeVilbiss FLG4 gun, and I honestly prefer this affordable Neiko over it. I use the 3M PPS System (Awesome) with both, and it just seems to be easier to use with the Neiko. As strange as that sounds, it’s true. As to its longevity I thoroughly take the gun apart after each spray session, clean it out, and leave the parts to dry. Perhaps that’s why it’s lasted so long for me. Regardless, I recommend the gun. I came to this page to buy another one, to dedicate to oil based finishes.” – Amazon’s Customer Review.

With a 20-foot air hose, it’s easy to keep the spray gun positioned squarely towards the surface.

“I had purchased another Wagner sprayer to use refinishing my kitchen cabinets. Unfortunately, I bought the wrong model. After doing some cabinet doors and not being satisfied, I called Wagner technical support. I described what I was attempting to do and the lady told me that I needed the Max HLVP unit. I used it yesterday for the two base coats and then this morning for the top coat of polyurethane. I couldn’t be happier with the results! The unit is light and has plenty of power. I was spraying massive interior latex and then satin polyurethane. It takes some playing to understand the best settings on authority and flow. But, once you get those dialled in and are consistent with your spray angles and distance, the unit will give you professional results. It is very easy to clean and comes with two cups for small and larger jobs.I plan to use this to finish the balance of the kitchen cabinets and then on many other interior and exterior jobs.” – Amazon’s Customer Review.
