A Comparison: Conventional versus HVLP Spray Guns Because conventional spray guns require a much higher air cap pressure to atomize the paint than HVLP Spray Guns, conventional guns have lower transfer efficiencies and more overspray. This translates to a significant paint/material savings for HVLP guns, in addition to making them more environmentally friendly.
