Which nozzles and pressures are typical?

Common nozzle sizes are between 0.8–1.5 mm for base/top coats, up to approx. 1.8 mm for fillers. Atomizing air typically 1.2–2.2 bar (HVLP/conventional), material pressure depending on supply 0.5–1.5 bar or cup operation.

How is the gun connected and cleaned?

Connection via quick couplings to compressed air and – depending on the system – to the material line or cup. For frequent color changes, flushing ports, suitable solvents and filters (e.g., 100–200 µm) are important. Observe ATEX compliance in the mixing room.

What is a color connection spray gun particularly suitable for?

For quick spray patterns and color matching on test cards, viscosity and hiding power checks, spot repair and small rework on parts – with a reproducible spray pattern.

Q: What is a color connection spray gun and how does it work?

A color connection spray gun is a compact airspray hand gun for the mixing room and the production line. It is operated with compressed air (HVLP/RP/conventional) and supplied with material via cup, hose or color connection. Ideal for test cards, color matching and small touch-ups.

Color Connection Spray Guns – Precise Spray Patterns & Efficient Rework

Discover color connection spray guns for the mixing room, color matching and touch-ups. HVLP/RP air caps provide fine atomization and clean edges – ideal for test cards, sample panels and small repairs. Optionally in cup operation or via material connection to the supply.

Use & Benefits

Quick spray patterns for color release, hiding power and viscosity checks as well as spot repair on the line: color connection spray guns deliver a reproducible spray pattern, save material and reduce setup times with frequent color changes.

Technology & Settings

Typical nozzle sizes are 0.8–1.5 mm (base/top coats), up to 1.8 mm for fillers. Atomizing air (HVLP/RP) usually 1.2–2.2 bar; material pressure in line operation 0.5–1.5 bar. Filters (e.g., 100–200 µm) and short material paths improve process stability; quick-change connectors make cleaning easier.

Accessories & Integration

Connection via quick couplings to compressed air and material line, optional cups for small quantities. Flushing stations, solvent and air filters, pressure regulators as well as ATEX-compliant versions increase safety and repeatability in the mixing room. Accessories such as nozzles, air caps, hoses & filters round off the system.

Benefits at a Glance

Finest atomization & precise edges for test cards & spot repair
Fast color changes thanks to short paths & flushing port
Reproducible spray patterns for reliable color releases
Flexible connection: cup or material line (ATEX in the mixing room)

Frequently Asked Questions about Color Connection Spray Guns

What is a color connection spray gun and how does it work?

A color connection spray gun is an airspray hand gun for spray patterns, color matching and touch-up. Operated with HVLP/RP via the air cap; material supply via cup or connection line.

Which nozzle/pressure settings are recommended?

Frequently 0.8–1.5 mm (base/top coats), up to 1.8 mm (filler). Atomizing air approx. 1.2–2.2 bar, material pressure 0.5–1.5 bar (line) — depending on viscosity & desired film build.

How do I connect the gun and clean it quickly?

Via quick couplings to air/material, short paths, flushing port and suitable filters (100–200 µm). In the mixing room, observe ATEX, define a solvent concept.

What is the color connection spray gun particularly suitable for?

For reproducible spray patterns on cards/panels, color release, hiding power check and spot repair on parts.
