1. Product Overview & Technical Specs

The A610 LVLP spray gun is built with a one‑piece forged‑aluminum body that can withstand up to four times the working pressure. It offers interchangeable 1.3 mm / 1.5 mm / 1.7 mm stainless‑steel nozzles, a gravity‑feed 600 cc PE cup, and a dual‑gear trigger (dust‑cleaning + paint).

3. Matching the Air Compressor

ParameterRecommended MinimumReason
Working pressure≥ 2.5 barGuarantees stable atomization at LVLP range
Air flow (CFM)8 – 10 CFM (≈ 230 – 280 L/min)Supports continuous spray without pressure drop
Motor power3 HP (≈ 2.2 kW)A 3 HP compressor typically delivers -8 CFM, keeping gun pressure steady even under load
Tank volume≥ 50 LLarger tank reduces pressure fluctuations during long passes

4. Professional Workshop Workflow

  1. Pre‑heat the compressor to reach ≥ 2.5 bar.

  2. Prime with 1.7 mm nozzle, thin coats, 60 % overlap, flash‑off 5 min.

  3. Base coat – switch to 1.3 mm nozzle, maintain 1.8‑2.2 bar, apply two wet coats with ≥ 60 % overlap.

  4. Clear coat – use 1.4 mm nozzle, control thickness to avoid runs, finish with a final polish.

Key quality checks: uniform wet film, no runs, consistent overlap, and flash‑off times adjusted for ambient temperature.

5. DIY / Home‑Garage Tips

  • Low‑pressure operation (≈ 2.0 bar) is sufficient for small touch‑ups, reducing overspray.

  • Use the 1.5 mm needle set for all three coats when space is limited; it offers a good balance between atomization and paint consumption.

  • Clean the air inlet filter weekly to maintain flow and prevent clogging.

  • Work in a dust‑free environment and keep the hose diameter ≥ 1/4" to avoid pressure loss
