The Sharpe 1.0 mm Nozzle HVLP FX3000 Spray Gun (288878) is a full-size, gravity-fed spray gun designed for professionals and serious hobbyists who demand precision and high-quality results. Built by Sharpe, a Graco company, this tool is part of the Finex line and is engineered for large jobs and detailed work alike. Its HVLP (High Volume, Low Pressure) technology ensures exceptional material transfer efficiency, significantly reducing overspray and minimizing waste of expensive materials.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
High Material Transfer Efficiency: The HVLP design delivers a higher percentage of material to the surface, reducing overspray and saving on paint costs.
Large Pattern Size: Produces a wide fan pattern up to 12.5 inches, allowing faster coverage on large surfaces and improving overall efficiency.
Lightweight and Ergonomic Design: Weighs only 1.11 lbs with the cup, reducing painter fatigue. Comfortable handle and low-force trigger pull make it easy to control.
Reduced Maintenance: With 29% fewer parts than previous models, the gun is easier to disassemble, clean, and maintain, ensuring a longer operational life.
Versatile Application: The 1.0 mm nozzle is ideal for applying a wide range of materials, including thin clear coats and base coats.
SPECIFICATIONS:
Fluid Tip: 1.0 mm
Air Consumption: 9.5 SCFM at 29 psi
Maximum Inlet HVLP Pressure: 29 psi
Air Inlet Size: 1/4 inch npsm
Cup Size: 600 cc (20 oz)
Cup Material: Aluminum
Weight with Cup: 1.11 lbs
Included in the Box: FX3000 spray gun, 600cc aluminum cup, a wrench, and a cleaning brush.
HOW TO USE:
Prepare the Material: Thoroughly mix your paint, clear coat, or other material according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Strain the material to remove any particles that could clog the gun.
Fill the Cup: Pour the strained material into the included 600cc aluminum cup and securely attach it to the gun.
Connect to Air Supply: Attach a 1/4-inch npsm air hose to the gun’s air inlet. Ensure your compressor is set to the correct HVLP pressure, typically around 29 psi at the gun.
Adjust the Gun: Use the air and fluid control knobs to fine-tune the spray pattern and material flow. Test on cardboard to achieve the desired pattern before applying to your project.
Apply Material: Hold the gun at a consistent distance and move with smooth, even motions. Overlap each pass by 50% for uniform coverage.
Clean After Use: Disconnect the air supply, empty remaining material, and clean the gun, cup, and nozzle with a suitable solvent immediately after finishing.
