How to Spray a HVLP Spray Gun
Proper handling of the gun is critical for results that will produce a professional finish. The gun
should be held perpendicular to the surface being covered, and moved across the surface
parallel. It is important to begin the stroke before the gun is triggered so as to not build up paint
at the beginning of the stroke. Also, release the trigger before the stroke has ended so you keep
an even film build. This is an on and off technique. Watch the trigger as the person applies the material on the board in this video. The distance between the gun and the surface must be held at an even distance
throughout the stroke, between 4 to 12 inches, depending on spray guns and the material and atomizing
pressure. HVLP is usually applied to target at a closer distance than Conventional. Overlap each
stroke by approximately 50% to 75% to achieve an even film build.

Typical distance from the surface
HVLP 4-6 inches
Reduce Pressure - the NEW Conventionals 6-10 inches
Conventional 8-12 inches
