Paint spray gun
The paint spray gun is an indispensable tool in the world of surface treatment. With its help, various materials such as wood, metal, plastic and even vehicle bodies can be given an even and professional paint finish.
The way a spray gun works is quite simple: by pulling the trigger, air is fed through a compressor and the paint is sucked out of a container or a special paint cup. The amount of paint applied can be regulated by adjusting the amount of air and paint, allowing precise adjustment to the task at hand.
Modern paint spray guns often offer different nozzle sizes to cope with different paint viscosities and spray patterns. This allows the user to work on a variety of surfaces with different requirements, be it a fine lacquer finish on furniture or a robust coating on industrial parts. Thanks to its efficiency and versatility, the spray gun has become a permanent fixture in workshops, factories and hobby rooms around the world.
