What is the difference between the Top Feed and Bottom Feed versions of the RS?
LEX-AIRE uses pressurized cups on all the HVLP spray guns. This is the best way to supply a consistent flow of material. That is why they are called Top Feed and Bottom Feed, because there if no gravity or siphon effect. With a pressurized cup, the performance of the gun is not affected by whether the cup is above the gun or below the gun. Your choice is whatever is most comfortable for you. With unpressurized cups, other HVLP spray guns need very large nozzle (1.3 + mm) openings to get a decent material flow. With that wide of a fluid stream it is difficult to finely atomize the material. This is why a common complaint of people using non-LEX-AIRE guns is that if they put in a smaller tip for good atomization, the speed is too slow and if they put in a larger tip, they cannot get a good finish. The RS uses a 1.0 mm nozzle size which gives outstanding atomization and performance. Customers marvel at how we can put on a better finish in less time than their previous HVLP gun with a bigg
