Spray gun
Compressed air spray gun for apply paint/clear coats.
Location
On the Perslucht Bord.
Description
The spray gun is composed of the following elements:
- Nozzle: it atomizes the fluid. 3 different nozzle sizes are available: 1.4mm, 1.7mm and 2.0mm.
- Fan control: controls the shape of the fan of the gun, ie. the cloud of atomized fluid.
- Fluid control: control the amount of fluid that gets delivered
- Air control: controls the air flow. This should be left fully open (unless you know what you are doing).
- Pressure regulator: controls the air pressure via the knob on the side. It should be around 2-2.5bar (working pressure, ie. while depressing the trigger)
- Water separator: prevents water from entering the gun.
Use
The spray gun can only be used in the welding area with the spray booth connected to the fume extractor (especially if using solvent-based products). If you are using solvent-based products, please use a mask with VOC filters (FFP2 masks are useless for VOC). Connect the spray gun to the air valve above the sandblaster. Set up the air pressure and fluid control by setting it to wide open: completely unscrew the fluid control knob, press the trigger and screw the fluid control knob until it cannot turn anymore. Then, unscrew the knob by one full turn. It is a good idea to pour some solvent into the paint cup and spray it to wet the gun as well as set up your fan size. Have a look at the Youtube channel The Paint Society for more tips on how to set up the gun.
