Q: What is the difference between an airless sprayer and an HVLP sprayer?
A1: Airless Paint and Stain Sprayers atomize coatings by forcing the product through a small tip opening at very high fluid pressure.

A2: HVLP sprayers are classified as a finishing tool. The pressure from the cup supplies paint to the gun, where a high volume of low pressure air intersects with the paint stream breaking the paint into small particles called atomization. Since the paint spraying pressures are much lower, the atomized paint has less bounce back. This means less overspray and better control.

Q: What is the iSpray nozzle used for?
A: The iSpray Nozzle, which will spray unthinned coatings including latex paint and stains, is ideal for big surface projects such as spraying walls, sheds, fences etc… It will provide a roller-like or slightly stippled finish.

Q: What is the detail finish nozzle used for?
A: The Detail finish nozzle is best used on your fine finish projects such as stain or paint spraying cabinets, furniture, doors, trim etc. It will provide a smoother, fner finish than the iSpray Nozzle. Depending on your material, the Detail Finish Nozzle may require some thinning of your material in order to spray properly.

Q: What should I use to clean my sprayer?
A: When cleaning, use the appropriate cleaning solution (warm, soapy water for latex materials; mineral spirits for oil-based materials). Always check the back of the paint container for appropriate cleaning solution.
