This spray gun is not only great for more intricate DIY projects but also other larger projects such as painting furniture, cabinets, and so on. It has easily adjustable spray settings and alternative spray tips that allow you to customize the material output and paint flow according to the needs of the project.
Since the spray gun functions on 450 watts of power, it offers a rather powerful spraying experience, making it a versatile product for a variety of projects. It also comes equipped with a cleaning brush that makes the process of cleaning a lot quicker and more efficient.
That’s not all; the USP of this product is the 2-year warranty and highly-rated customer service provided by the company. The spray gun also has a rather large paint capacity (39 fluid ounces) that facilitates longer spraying without having to refill very often.
What Could’ve Been Better?
While this sprayer claims to require little to no thinning of the paint before use, a few customers seemed to have experienced the exact opposite. The tips that this spray gun comes equipped with are very tiny and therefore easy to lose. It is especially easy to lose them down the sink while you’re cleaning. Hence, we recommend having a dedicated plastic bowl to keep and clean your tips in.

- Superior quality finish
- Versatile and can be used for a variety of projects

Moving on, we love how this product is non-bleed, which means the moment you release the trigger, the paint automatically stops flowing, thereby avoiding any potential mess. The 25 feet hose that comes with it has an air control valve that significantly reduces overspray and bounceback as well.
Also, this model of the Fuji Spray gun is convertible, meaning it can be switched between the bottom feed cup and gravity feed cup for ease of use. That’s not all; it has an ergonomic stay-cool handle and is very easy to disassemble and clean, which has quickly made it a fan favorite.
What Could’ve Been Better?

That’s not all; we love how affordable this tool is compared to its counterparts with the same features. So, if you’re looking for a budget-friendly HVLP spray gun that has high performance and a year-long warranty, this is the one for you!

HVLP Paint Spray Guns Buyer’s Guide
That brings us to the end of the list of our top 9 picks of the best HVLP paint spray guns. But we understand that 9 options may still seem like a lot to pick one out of. For this reason, we’ve compiled an in-depth buyer’s guide discussing factors to look out for that should help you make this decision.
-
Spraying Speed
Most HVLP spraying guns have a lower rate of painting speed as compared to their higher pressure counterparts. Even within the options for this spraying, different tools have a different spray speed. So, you must decide how quickly your project needs to be completed and buy one of these accordingly.
-
Nozzle/Tip Size
The nozzle and tip at the end of the spray are what determines how smoothly the paint will be applied on any surface. A larger nozzle will help you cover a larger surface area at once while a smaller one will help you zero in on details.
Some guns come equipped with multiple nozzles and tip sizes and that gives the spray an added versatility. Hence, depending on the kind of projects, you’ll have to choose a spray gun accordingly.
-
Paint Adaptability
HVLP spray guns have different levels of adaptability when it comes to the kind of paint or lacquer you want to apply on a certain project. If you’re going to be working with a lot of different thicknesses of paint, you’re going to require a spraying gun that supports it. Some guns come equipped with a thinner funnel that helps you thin down paints to the required amount before use.
-
Adjustability
These spray guns also come with a variety of customizable and adjustable options such as rotating air caps and boost power dials. These variations help you adjust things like the spray rate and help you achieve different types of finishes and patterns.
-
Length Of Hose and Capacity
If the paint sprayer has a stationary base, then you will require a long hose in order to easily walk around and work in your station. You should also prefer a spray gun that has a larger cup capacity so that you don’t need to waste much time refilling it.
-
Cost
One last factor to consider while buying an HVLP spray gun would cost. Different brands of spray guns have marked them at different prices. Higher priced products will usually have more professional level equipment with additional features. However higher price does not always mean higher quality, and hence one should study the features in detail before deciding which one to invest in.
Verdict
With this, we come to the end of our comprehensive guide to the best HVLP spray guns. We hope it will now be easier for you to pick the ideal product for your needs. But if you need another nudge in the right direction, read on.
To summarize, the YATTICH 191 is the most affordable as well as DIY-friendly spray gun. So, if you’re a beginner looking for a low budget and easy to operate product, this is the one for you.
On the other hand, if you’re a professional looking for high performance, high quality and a flawless finish, then Earlex 0HV6003PUS and Fuji 2203G are more ideal for you.
Before signing off, we would also like to give honorable mentions to the Earlex HV5500 and TCP Global G6600-14 for their high customer reviews and versatility. Wagner 052902, alternatively, has the fastest spraying speed among all the paint guns on this list.
On that note, we will sign off. Till next time!
