QualSpray Spray Guns

The most common question we’re asked is “How do I choose a gun”? Generally you can make your choice based upon your compressor size, the materials you want to spray and the type of projects.

Compressor size – your compressor should have a CFM (or SCFM) specification of how much air it can produce. This is stated in the manual, or most of the time on a plate on the compressor. Compressors usually give 2 ratings, one figure at 90psi or higher and another at 40 psi. The one you should use for spray equipment is the 40 psi one. That number should be equal to or slightly higher than the CFM measurement of the spray gun.

Materials you want to spray – are you spraying woodworking or automotive finishes. Primarily waterbased or solvent based? Do you want to be able to spray paints (latex and oil)?

Type of projects – are you doing architectural spraying or spraying furniture. Do you primarily do kitchen cabinets? Do you spray the same material all the time or are you constantly changing from stain/dye to sealer then clears.

TYPES OF SPRAY GUNS

Conventional Pressure Guns – conventional, older style guns are simply high pressure spray guns. They use higher pressure of around 35 to 55 psi to atomize finishes. The high pressure at the tip (where the finish exits the gun and is impinged by the air) breaks up the finish nicely but leads to excessive overspray so a lot of material is wasted. High pressure guns are still favored by some finishers because the break up certain finishes so well and lay them down smoothly. Automotive finishers still like to use high pressure guns. We do not sell any high pressure spray guns.

HVLP Guns – HVLP sands for High Volume/Low Pressure guns. This technology was first used in turbine drive systems like Accuspray and Fuji. HVLP produces less material waste because the air pressure is reduced at the point in impinges on the finish (a tip pressure of 10 psi or less) which reduces blow-back and overspray and at least 65% of the finish lands on the piece (called transfer efficiency). QualSpray HVLP guns are the AM-6008/HVLP series.

LVLP Guns – are a hybrid of HVLP, also called Low-Cfm. To allow folks that have smaller compressors (under 8 cfm at 40 psi) engineers designed a special type of HVLP called LVLP (Low Volume/Low Pressure). In LVLP guns, the atomizing ports in the aircap horns and around the center hole are much smaller (see photo below). These smaller holes accelerate the lower air supply of the compressor to break up the finish. LVLP guns have a very soft spray pattern like HVLP but are not as fast (usually not an issue unless you do production work). LVLP guns are very good at detail work, small project work, and finishing at home (very soft spray and low overspray) QualSpray LVLP guns are the QS-125WB, QS-600WB, AM-6008LVLP and the AM-5008 series.

QS SERIES HVLP GRAVITY DETAIL/TOUCH UP GUN

qs-125wbQS-125WB – We asked our factory to design us a radically different detail gun that could act like a larger one when it came to spraying waterborne and solvent-borne clears. Now you can get a gun that’s just as good as spraying thinner viscosity finishes for touch up and detail work, and spray clears without thinning. This new addition has an all stainless steel finish travel path (see description below for QS-600WB), in addition to the stainless used on the nozzle and needle. Plus it only needs 4 cfm to run. The 1.2mm will spray clear finishes without thinning unless they are pretty thick. The 125cc cup will hold about 4 ounces of finish, but larger cups are available as an optional upgrade if you need it. Spray Gun comes with a 2 year warranty. We beta-tested this gun with several customers. Read what one said:

For PPS users get the #S21 – #26105 adapter

 

Jeff,

I used the spray gun today, to apply USL to unfilled walnut; all I can say is the gun exceeded my expectations. My pancake compressor was able to keep up and the volume of finish from the gun was impressive. In the past, I’ve been a little heavy handed when spraying finishes, which is why I’ve stuck to brushing, but this gun laid down a nice even finish despite operator inexperience. After just three quick coats, and I’m left with a finish that looks like it had the grain filled, and will only require a minor rubout. In short, I’m one satisfied customer.

“I wanted to let you know how happy I’ve been with the service I’ve received from Homestead Finishing Products and the equipment I bought. This weekend I had a chance to try out the gun by spraying a white latex paint on a bed I made for my daughter. It was impossible to lay down a good brush-applied finish with that paint, so I bought the QualSpray AM-6008/1QT.
I was thrilled to see that the bed now looks perfect. I should mention that this is the first time I’ve ever used a spray gun, and yet I was able to create a glossy, smooth finish on the first try. No doubt, that is due largely to the quality and design of the gun.”

Thanks,
Craig Creeger

am8008_5008smallPerfect for Luthiers!

AM-8008/5008 “SmartPak” – We almost called this package the “Not Sure Which Spray Gun To Get-Kit”. This package contains both a small gravity detail gun and a full size gravity gun. Both are LVLP guns and will work with small compressors. The 1.4mm setup in the large gun will handle clears and the small gravity gun with 1.0mm is perfect for stains, sealers and most clear finishes (some may require thinning). The two cups have adapters so you can use both cup sizes with either gun, and included are rebuild/service kits, mini-regulator and cleaning brushes. What a great deal this package is if you don’t know whether to get a full size or detail gun. Both guns incorporate stainless steel in the fluid passages, threaded connector to the cup, and the female connector in the nylon cup. This upgrade by our factory insures proper performance with waterborne finishes and catalyzed solvent products.
