Q1. What is a suction spray gun and how does it work?
A suction spray gun (siphon feed gun) pulls paint up from a container below the gun using air pressure. It’s versatile for many materials and allows painting in various orientations.
Q2. How do suction spray guns compare to gravity spray guns?
Suction guns feed paint from a cup (1 Litre) below the gun, while gravity guns use a cup above. Gravity guns typically offer finer atomisation and less overspray, but suction guns handle larger workloads and heavier coatings better.
Q3. Do suction spray guns work with water-based paints?
Yes. Many modern suction spray guns are compatible if they have stainless steel component with water-borne coatings, primers and solvent-based paints. Always check your nozzle size and regulator for best results.
Q4. What size compressor do I need?
Suction spray guns generally operate well with mid-range compressors (around 6–8 CFM), though heavier coatings may require more air volume to maintain spray quality. Refer to the gun specifications for exact requirements.
Q5. Are replacement suction cups and filters available?
Yes — suction cups in multiple sizes (e.g., 750 ml, 1 L) plus inline filters and accessories are stocked separately to customise your kit.
