Huh? I thought it was a high volume of air at low pressure to deliver the
same amount of paint, and it still needs a pretty good compressor to power
it. An example might be 9-SCFM at 50 PSI from the compressor, with the air
regulated to 10 PSI at the gun escaping through a larger nozzle, yielding a
slower nozzle air velocity, which is why it does less overspray (and why
you might need to stand a little closer to the work).
