Spray Guns
Spray Guns for professional and home use
Spray Guns provide tight and smooth results without streaks or stripes. By spraying paint with a paint gun, you work faster, more efficiently and more beautifully than with a brush or roller. A spray gun is widely used for spraying a car, furniture, window frames, doors, walls, ceilings or other parts. As a specialist, at CROP you will find a wide range of spray guns for any job. Here, we explain further what types there are, how they work and which type is best for you.
Why choose a spray gun?
A spray gun is ideal for applying car paint, primer, stain or paint evenly. It saves you a lot of time and you get a significantly nicer result. Instead of repeatedly dipping a roller or brush into the paint, you fill the reservoir of the spray gun and you can go on and on. In addition, a spray gun also allows you to easily paint hard-to-reach areas, such as corners and edges. Whether you're a professional or discerning do-it-yourselfer, you'll always get a more beautiful result with a paint spray gun.
Different types of spray guns
Spray Guns come in different types and designs. Each type has its own advantages and applications. We list these for you so that it becomes clear to you which spray gun you should use.
Airless spray guns
Airless spray guns work without air, as the name suggests. For this reason, they are also called an electric spray gun. The paint is forced through the nozzle at high pressure, creating a fine atomization. An airless spray gun is great for painters who need to paint large areas such as walls, ceilings or facades. You have a choice here between powered and battery-powered models. The battery-powered spray guns are especially handy for places where there is no electricity or if you want to work mobile.
Spray pumps and pressure tanks
A spray pump or pressure tank is ideal for larger jobs that require continuous spraying. The paint is supplied under constant pressure, which ensures stable atomization. This system is widely used in industrial applications and body shops. You do not suffer from pressure loss or fluctuating spray performance here, which benefits the end result.
Spray Guns for the compressor
Do you prefer to work with compressed air? Then a compressor-mounted spray gun is a good choice. These sprayers use air to atomize the paint. There are two common types within this segment:
HVLP spray guns
HVLP stands for High Volume, Low Pressure. This system uses a lot of air with low pressure. As a result, the paint is transferred efficiently and you have less overspray. An HVLP spray gun is ideal for car spraying, fine work and detail spraying, such as when painting furniture.
LVLP spray guns
LVLP means Low Volume, Low Pressure. LVLP spray guns consume less air, which makes them suitable for smaller compressors. They deliver a very fine mist and are great for precision work or spraying small parts and surfaces.
Buying a spray gun? Here's what to look out for!
If you're going to buy a spray gun, there are a few things you need to pay attention to. Choosing the right paint spray gun depends on your job, the type of paint and whether you are working indoors or outdoors. Are you working on location? Then an airless or cordless spray gun is handy. Are you going for precision work? Then an HVLP or LVLP system is often the right choice. Need help buying the right spray gun? Then contact our product specialists, we're happy to help!
Why gravity cup spray guns are so popular
Gravity Cup spray guns, also known as gravity feed spray guns, are one of the most widely used types in the automotive industry as well as in wood and furniture finishing. As the name will tell you, with a top cup spray gun, the paint reservoir sits on top of the gun. Gravity causes the paint to flow naturally to the nozzle, so you need less air pressure to spray. This ensures accurate and consistent atomization. A top cup spray gun is ideally suited for spraying automotive paint, clear coat, primer or finishing furniture. Another big advantage: you waste less paint ánd you can work with smaller quantities.
