Suction Spray Guns
Suction Feed Spray Gun
In contrast to a gravity spray gun, which has the paint container located on top of the gun. A suction spray gun has a paint container attached beneath. The difference between these two sprayers is the way in which a supply of car paint is fed to the spray nozzle. A suction spray gun uses compressed air to create a vacuum which effectively siphons paint up from the paint container and into the spray gun. Because of this a suction spray gun requires slightly more compressed air than a gravity spray gun.
