Abstract: A replaceable baffle for dropping high pressure air to low pressure air for atomization and for pattern shaping in a high volume low pressure (HVLP) air paint spray gun. The baffle has a first plurality of orifices for distributing and dropping the air pressure to a low pressure for atomization and has orifices arranged in two stages for dropping the air pressure to a low pressure for pattern shaping. The baffle may be replaced with a baffle having different sized orifices to permit use of different air cap and/or fluid tip designs on the spray gun when applying paints having different flow properties.

Abstract: An improved pressure feed remote paint cup for use with a spray gun. The cup consists of a pressure tank with a large opening for filling and cleaning and a lid for closing the opening. The lid is secured to the tank with a separate threaded ring. The lid has an integral handle which facilitates holding from a point of balance during use. A pressure regulator and a pressure gauge are mounted on the handle.
