How does air assist work? The paint, lacquer, varnish or other coating is pumped from the original container to an airless tip at low pressure (typically 500 to 800 psi). This low pressure creates a softer spray pattern with little overspray, resulting in lower paint consumption. By adding a small amount of low pressure compressed air to complete the atomization process, air-airless greatly improves control and allows some adjustment of the spray pattern shape and size to achieve optimal atomization. The result is a superior finish applied with high efficiency and minimal overspray.
