What is a HVLP spray gun?

RepairNation.com - Paint & Body FAQ pg 1
Stands for High Volume Low Pressure and used to spray paint onto the paint surface. Most HVLP spray guns are gravity feed (paint cup on top). They have taken the industry by storm. They have a much higher paint transfer efficiency rate than traditional spray guns of just 10 years ago. They produce less overspray and have less paint "bounce-back" so more paint goes onto the paint surface and less into the air -- basically less waste.

What mask should be worn when using a HVLP spray gun?

FAQs about Digital Fine Art Coating - BullDogProducts.com
Use a "Double Charcoal Filter Respirator" when applying coating with a High Volume Low Pressure sprayer. The BullDog Ultra series should never be thinned! To create the proper protection the ratio of solids to solvent is very exact. By diluting this mixture, the balance of solids to solvent is disrupted and the effectiveness of the giclee coating is compromised. After coating, use MEK for best cleaning results.

Do I have to spray my gun before I go shooting, or only after?

For regular use you should spray your gun only after shooting. However, if you have ever used other gun-cleaning products, it's a good idea to spray the gun both before and after shooting for the first three uses only. These three extra 'pre-use' sprays will help clean out any old residue - rust and dirt ? which may have accumulated in your gun. "Gun-Plus" is a unique formula that contains NO sticky lubricants such as oil, grease or silicon.

What's the best spray gun for me?

RepairNation.com - Paint & Body FAQ pg 1
That's a judgment call only you can make. It really comes down to the type of work you want to do and how much you want to spend. If you're only doing occasional paint work, an inexpensive import spray gun from companies like Harbor Freight will work well and can give very good results.

What to choose: stun gun or pepper spray?

FAQ - PRO TECH #1
They both have advantages and disadvantages. Stun guns can only be used at close contact with an attacker, while pepper spray is a "distance weapon" which is designed to work on and repel an attacker before he reaches you. The Pepper spray's range is generally 5-10 ft., depending on the model. Pepper spray must be sprayed in the face in order to be effective, while the stun gun works anywhere on the body. Consider carrying both.

Do I need an expensive spray gun to get good results?

RepairNation.com - Paint & Body FAQ pg 1
Generally no. Skill is the most important factor, but you can't get a quality paint job with a crappy gun either. For small and intermittent jobs, a cheapie HVLP gun or even a conventional spray gun can yield good results and makes good economical sense. For better atomization of clears and other paints, a more expensive brand-name gun will generally give you better results.

My can will not spray again, what should I do?

DON'T PANIC! You might have pulled the trigger back to hard. If the trigger is pulled back too hard, it can "stick". Simply put your index finger behind the blue trigger an push it forward. A "pop" or "click" should happen. If you push on the trigger a few times, it should start spraying again. If you leave your can with the trigger out of position, the gas with seep out, rendering the can unusable. Think of the paint as a can of whip cream..
Related Questions

Do you spray?

FAQs
Absolutely not! We apply all paints by hand. Most homes in the area have masonite siding, which is very susceptible to moisture damage. The underside of each siding board is especially prone to moisture entry because it is a rough cut or "end-grain." If you have a newer home and look at this area on your siding, it will look thin, and probably have some mildew growth. The odds are very good that your home was sprayed when it was built.

Nitrous FAQ - Team Integra
The best time to start the injection is right after you have gained traction and are at wide-open throttle (WOT). Additionally, you should NOT spray while in 1st or 5th gear. The reason you don't want to spray in 1st gear is because unless you have a progressive nitrous controller you will never be able to get traction off the line under full spray conditions. As for 5th gear, this is your highway gear and is not meant to handle a big jolt of power.

Evapo-Rust rust remover Frequently Asked Questions
EVAPO-RUST is designed as a dip/soak, not a spray. EVAPO-RUST only works in the liquid form. When sprayed on a surface, the water in the solution will evaporate before de-rusting can be completed. However, if you spray it on a surface and scrub with a brush or pad, it will greatly reduce the amount of scrubbing necessary to remove the rust. NOTE: Althought Evapo-rust rust remover is designed to be a soak, it can be utilized in certain situations as a spray.
