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.
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.
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
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).

Style/type choice
Compliant Spray Guns – for balance of finish with control of over spray – See DeVilbiss FLG for example >>
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.
View ANi Compact Spray Gun (ideal for beginner & professional use) >> A great all rounder and available as a Touch Up & Respray Kit.
>Size choice
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.
Next – Do I need to use a spray gun gauge?
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.
Next – How to set up a spray gun?
Once you have your spray gun connected to compressed air, see How to choose the correct air compressor for my spray gun (paint sprayer)?
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.

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.
More information on Spray Guns and Compressor Setups >>
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).
Low Noise / Screw Compressors >>
Portable Compressor Systems & Kits >>
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 >>
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

With air filtration down to 0.01 microns and activated carbon removing contaminants and odours down to 0.003 ppm for both breathing and spraying. Compressed air filtration is designed to remove liquid, oil and water from flowing compressed air.
For working spray booths filters should be replaced every 3 months.
You must install a wall mounted filter regulator to remove water and oil otherwise paint defects e.g. craters emerge.
A simple solution is to run a 10-metre airline from the compressor to the wall filter then add another line to the outlet to run to the spray gun.
European made spray guns are the best and Iwata from Japan.
The gun brands that are used by most body shop professionals are ANi (Italian) DeVilbiss (UK except the SLG), SATA (German), Iwata, Sagola (Spain).
Arguments over which is best are common; SprayGunsDirect offer all the main brand contenders. There are characteristics that suit specific requirements that may make direction a no-brainer, but a similar question would be: which is best? BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Jaguar or Lexus?
If you have evolved your style around one and it has worked for you then avoid switching brands unless you have the budget to experiment, we do encourage variety if you want to test drive scenarios, you can always sell on via an online preloved sales platform.
All gun manufacturers have multiple options that go way beyond simplification but if we are going to be forth right and opinionated then here it is. All robust challenges with feedback are welcomed.
ANi – exceptional value for money, the Volkswagen option at Dacia prices. Perfect for beginners and the price conscious. Flagship guns now stand up with the top tier priced options.
DeVilbiss – straightforward and predictable, easy to get started with.
Iwata – often a little slower so patience is its nature and your requirement.
Sagola – the new contender at the upper end. Adapting and evolving existing technology. Fast and full. For the professional in a rush.
SATA – considered precision engineering with dedicated loyalist users. Many bespoke options.
Employees of SprayGunsDirect have been at one time or other users of all five and cannot be shifted from their favourite spray gun brand. We have career sprayers, ex-employees of spray gun manufacturers and ex-managers of body shops resident. We have 3 spray rooms for trials. We test everything. For fully independent guru level testing, reviews and engagement, we recommend the videos section of The Gunman on YouTube.
