INTRODUCTION
HVLP stands for High Volume, Low Pressure. This is a type of spraying that allows you to spray extremely
accurately but without all the overspray that occurs with the high pressure tank type equipment. In fact, in some
parts of the world the high pressure systems are banned by law on environmental grounds and HVLP type
systems are the only alternative for professional type spraying. This gun is extremely easy to use, very safe
and reduces the amount of paint used.
