Tailored set ups for all applications and a very easy gun to get on with.
When Anest Iwata originally talked about a new spray gun, they decided they needed to be innovative, and end users needed something new, so Anest Iwata enlisted the help of the world-renowned design firm Pininfarina famous for their state-of-the-art automobile design. Anxious to see how they would handle a spray gun, the Pininfarina design far exceeded our expectations. After the gun design was complete, Anest Iwata incorporated advanced atomising technology, and the Supernova was born. This premium gun combines our superior atomisation control with production speed and ergonomics.
The Supernova delivers a consistent droplet size when atomising. This, combined with the flat even Supernova pattern, helps reduce common application issues.
All Supernova guns are equipped with stainless steel fluid passages ideal for any type of material, solvent-borne or waterborne.
Perfect Balance
The Supernova cup angle design guarantees perfect balance regardless of what cup size you choose.
Quick Release Air-Cap
The larger thread pattern of the air cap makes it both robust and easy to remove and is designed with low maintenance in mind. The new larger grip points outside the air cap ring facilitate quick removal and refitting after cleaning.
Responsive Trigger
The responsive trigger action gives the painter stable air flow control during application. Accurate air pressure can now be set with either the air stroke or the fluid stroke.
Ergonomic Grip
An in-depth study by the University of Pavia into perfect balance and optimal ergonomics was closely considered by Pininfarina designers and Anest Iwata engineers to produce this state-of-the-art spray gun. The slim ergonomic grip of the Supernova spray gun helps distribute weight and balance through the wrist, reducing the risk of repetitive strains.

A spray gun (paint sprayer) is a tool used to spray liquid coatings – paint, varnish and lacquer in particular. The spray gun uses air pressure from a compressor which forces the paint to become a mist (known as atomize), this can be adjusted using the air regulator and material flow control. A spray gun achieves a smooth consistent finish of paint when applied to surface, preparation is very important when wanting to achieve a professional and smooth finish. The better you prep the better the finish.
Used by professionals & commercial spray painters for automotive, industrial & commercial use. For re-spraying cars, commercial vehicles, agricultural machinery and equipment, boats, woods, decorating & upvc. Colour is everywhere and in most cases a paint sprayer (spray gun) would be used with compressed air for application.
What are the benefits to a spray gun?
Using a spray gun with your compressor >> will cover an area much faster with a more consistant finish, though you need to mask >> to protect the surrounding area from overspray. You also need a mask to protect your lungs >>.
Spray Gun Parts and Accessories
When purchasing a spray gun its longevity is usually reflected in the price. Spray gun parts are unlikely to be available with budget models (under £100.00), high end professional finish spray guns usually have all parts and spares available giving future life to your spray gun. The most common parts and in particular atomise the finish required are the Air Cap, Nozzle, Fluid Tip & Needle.
Air Caps explained
The air cap (spray gun head) is paired to the size of the fluid tip & needle and range in sizes (see Fluid Tips & Needle below). The fluid nozzle and needle direct paint to the air cap, paint & airflow creates atomization which can be adjusted according to right application needed.
Fluid Tips & Needle
Spray guns come in different set-ups for different paint types and application.
For small detail and repair fluid tips start from 0.5mm – 1.2mm
For panel & respray 1.3mm – 1.4mm / 1.5mm
Primer & High Build paint 1.8mm – 2.2mm
Thicker Industrial paints & primers 2.2mm – 3.5mm
These are general spraying guides, sprayers do have their own preference. Always consult your paint supplier or technical data sheet for fluid tip application.
(Always test set up and application on small test area before applying to main surface area).
A spray gun when paint spraying can be adjusted and set up to achieve the desired application finish.
Adjusting your spray gun will change atomization and fan pattern, from spot (small application i.e small detail) to – full fan (large application i.e. full re-spray).

Best selling Spray Guns
3M, Anest Iwata, ANi, Binks, DeVilbiss, Sagola & SATA brands offer a wide range of spray guns, all designed for different liquid coatings & applications.
Usually a gravity spray gun, HVLP, LVLP, Compliant and Conventional are options. Full sized and mini/midi spray guns would be selected depending on the scale of work and the size of the compressor.
HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) describes the correct air delivery for modern spray guns, but full HVLP guns doesn’t suit most applications as they produce an uneven, ‘orange peel’ finish. HVLP spray guns mainly suit water-based basecoat car paint.
LVLP (Low Volume Low Pressure) spray guns are designed to operate with less air but also produce a sub-optimal finish. We advise the ANi Compact Spray Gun when less air is available.
Mini/Midi spray gun >> – a popular choice for all compressor size 24 litre (6.34 gallons) and over; there are spray gun options that are capable of even a full respray. Full sized spray gun >> – the typical choice where larger areas are being painted. Usually requires at least 7cfm free air.
DeVilbiss DV1S Mini/Midi Spray Gun showing fan pattern when applying lacquer. (adjustable by changing spray gun controls) mini spray guns are used for smaller areas, panel, alloy wheel and smart repairs.
Sprayer using the Sagola X 4100 Series Pressure Spray Gun in most cases used for commercial vehicles, trains, coaches, lorries or large panel sections.
Suction spray guns usually come with a 1 litre capacity pot so used if you have a larger surface paint area (old school sprayers some times prefer this method).
For (None Digital) gravity fed spray guns a gauge control is used to regulate the amount of air,
enabling an accurate predictable atomisation (mix of air and paint). Works in combination with spray fan pattern size control (knob adjustment). This means you can work slowly with a small fan or faster with a larger fan.
Air control is usually in conjunction with wall filter regulators.
Assuming you have mixed paint and your spray gun cup is attached the next stage is making sure your air pressure and fan pattern is correct for type of application.
Use your Spray gun air pressure gauge (fig 1.0) and material flow knob (fig 2.0) to adjust the amount of paint and air mixed to form the desired atomization.

Can I use a spray gun (paint sprayer) with my compressor?
Yes, but the compressor size and it’s CFM (Free Air) is what matters.
Large compressor = many spray gun options
Small compressor = mini/midi spray guns.
A 24 litre compressor is suitable for *low free air spray guns or airbrushes* ( < 4.5 cfm).
A 50 Litre compressor would be suitable for most smart repair mini midi spray applications.
A typical full sized spray gun would require a larger compressor > 50 litre.
What compressor do I need to paint a car. How to choose the correct air compressor for my spray gun (paint sprayer)?
Connect the compressor and wait for full working pressure. you can then adjust the pressure via a gun gauge which is connected to your spray gun.
Compressors are measured by their displacement in CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute). Spray guns are measured by the free air they use, the maths is for example a 12cfm displacement less a third equals the free air available.
The simple sum is (12cfm displacement minus 1/3 = 8cfm free air).
How to use a spray gun with an air compressor?
A spray gun that is driven by compressed air must be connected via an airline; it can be directly screwed to a threaded airline but is usually used with quick release connectors.
What connectors do I need to connect my spray gun to air hose and compressor?
What airline and connectors do I need for my spray gun?
Typically 3/8” (8mm) is the minimum airline internal diameter/bore. We recommend using pre-made airline that includes ¼” BSP female threaded nuts at either end.
Quick release connectors screw in to the end of the airline primarily to pair/interconnect with a tail-piece. The spray gun tail-piece would have a female thread.
Male and Female thread (originates from the animal kingdom).
Example: ¼” BSP male thread screws into ¼” BSP female thread and forms a seal. Spray guns and fittings supplied by us in BSP >> with NPT >>
Quick release coupling connectors tube type tails that push in to small barrel like receivers (sometimes confused or described as male and female BUT not in SprayGunsDirect language).
Euro (HVLP) high flow connectors are best practice for use with a spray gun. Traditional / old-fashioned British connectors (often misleadingly referred to as PCL style) do not suit optimal air delivery for a spray gun.
Below shows HVLP connectors used to connect the spray gun to air hose and then to the compressor. This method is quick release which is simple and very easy to use especially when changing devices using compressed air. For a full compressed air system a second air hose would be included along with a filter regulator. Air flow would typicaly follow this direction.
Compressor >> Air Hose >> Filter Regulator (1,2 or 3 stage) >> Air Hose >> Spray Gun Gauge (non-digital) >> Spray Gun
HVLP Explained
High Volume Low Pressure has no restrictions on airflow with a wider male and female connection. This is the choice for most professional paint sprayers.
PCL Explained
PCL Connectors are usually used for air tools such as sanders, polishers, drills and grinders as 100% air flow can differ. The below image shows the Prevost Flexair 10m Hose *British Style PCL Connector* with Prevost Air Blow Gun.
Above image shows (compressor connectors)
