New to spray finishing / End grain

[John TenEyck]

Hey, John,

I'm intrigued by your "air assisted HVLP gun". Are you talking about a conversion gun, or perhaps an air-assisted airless gun? To help me understand what system you're talking about, could you please tell me what company and what model are you talking of?

Hi Marty,

Yes it is a conversion gun; specifically the Qualspray AM-6008 SmartPak with 3M PPS cup on the bottom. It has a separate regulator to pressurize the cup. Normally I run it at 5 psi for everything, but you can go up to about 8 - 10 psi before the pressure relief valve on the cup trips. It sprays everything from water based dyes to BM Advance beautifully.

Thanks for the clarification, John.
