HVLP paint sprayers (High Volume Low Pressure) deliver a smooth, pro-grade finish with far less overspray than traditional high-pressure systems. By pushing a high volume of air at low pressure, they increase transfer efficiency, cut material waste, and keep clouds down—ideal for indoor projects and detailed work. Expect clean edges, fine atomization, and consistent results on cabinets, furniture, trim, doors, built-ins, and automotive panels.

You’ll find two main styles: turbine-powered HVLP sprayers and compressor-driven HVLP guns. Turbine units are portable and purpose-built, with multiple stages (2–5) for thicker coatings. Compressor HVLP guns pair with a shop compressor and excel at precision finishing. Gravity-feed cups make color changes and cleanup straightforward, while siphon-feed cups suit larger volumes. Look for adjustable fan pattern, fluid and air controls, and multiple needle/nozzle sets to match coating viscosity.

Key buying and usage tips:
- Match nozzle size to your coating: 1.3–1.5 mm for enamels and clears; 1.8–2.5 mm for primers and thicker paints.
- Check turbine stages or compressor CFM to ensure adequate atomization for latex and acrylics.
- Always strain coatings; thin per manufacturer guidance and verify with a viscosity cup.
- Test on scrap, then dial in fluid flow and fan width; aim for a 50% overlap and steady gun speed.
- Maintain 6–8 inches of gun distance and keep the spray perpendicular to the surface.
- Wear a respirator and ensure good ventilation, even with low overspray.
- Clean immediately after use: flush, disassemble the needle and air cap, and lightly lubricate moving parts.

Whether you’re tackling a kitchen cabinet repaint, furniture refinishing, trim upgrades, or automotive clear coat, an HVLP paint sprayer offers control, efficiency, and a finish that stands out. Explore options, compare specs, and find the best HVLP paint sprayer for your budget, materials, and project goals.
