I’m getting a new base coat gun a hvlp gti pro as I only have the old gti gun which is past it’s best and I am struggling with some tricky silvers, I just wanted any set up tips please as in what pressure to have coming in and fluid and distance tips if you have any please ? I’m using mipa solvent base coat,many thanks
Carl.Ps as it’s hvlp I’m sure it needs correct cap pressure but am sure I have read not to worry about this as long as I have correct inlet pressure ? Am I right ?
Not posted anything here for a while but I use these guns everyday.
For solvent base coat (I use debeer) I run the t1 cap, with all the gun controls fully open including the air inlet on the bottom. I run a gun gauge but set the pressure at the wall. I run around 22psi (for coverage and less material wastage) but will bump it up a touch for blends and such.
When covering I probably run the gun 4-5 inches away. When blending probably around 6 inches. This is approximate.
Bare in mind all paint systems are different and you will need to fine tune to suit yourself and the product.
I don’t think you can go wrong with these guns. They are versatile with all the different set up options. Well priced as well especially since they pro lite was released.
Hope that helps.
Ok mate thankyou i will try those settings when i get the gun next week.
Is 22 psi a bit low as i read to run them at 1.8 bar to 2 bar ? Also is it just the cap that changes the gun from complient to hvlp ?Carl
I guess 22 is a little low for some people. I try to run a lower pressure for coverage and less paint wastage. You could probably run it around 25-26 and not use a noticeable amount more. I’m not sure what that would be in bar. Probably around 1.7-1.8.
I also use one for clear with a t110 cap and use 26-27 psi which I guess could be low for some people too.
I think the most important thing is to run a gun guage and set the pressure at the wall with all your gun settings wide open. This is how I get the optimum performance, finish and material use out of my guns.
Thanks bud,i allways use a digital gun gauge And i clear with my supernova at the mo wide open at about 1.7 bar and close n fast with nice results but may try a gti pro clear gun
