What's included
- 1 × Ingco 220–240V HVLP electric spray gun (SPG5008E)
- 1 × 800ml paint container
- 1 × Viscosity measuring cup
- 1 × Nozzle cleaning needle
- 1 × Shoulder strap
How to use
-
Prepare your paint: Check the paint manufacturer's recommendations for spraying. Most paints need thinning for spray application. Use the included viscosity measuring cup to test consistency. For optimal results, paint should flow smoothly through the cup within 20-30 seconds. Thin with water (for water-based paints) or appropriate thinner following paint manufacturer guidelines.
-
Strain the paint: Pour thinned paint through a fine mesh strainer or paint filter into the 800ml container to remove any lumps or debris that could clog the nozzle.
-
Attach the paint container: Screw the filled container securely onto the spray gun body.
-
Connect to power: Plug the spray gun into a suitable 220–240V mains power outlet. Ensure the power cord is not creating a trip hazard and that you have adequate mobility with the 2.0m cord length.
-
Attach the shoulder strap: Use the included shoulder strap to reduce arm fatigue and improve control during extended spraying sessions.
-
Select spray pattern: Adjust the pattern control to select the appropriate spray pattern - horizontal for vertical surfaces (walls, fences), vertical for horizontal surfaces (ceilings, decks), or circular for detail work and spot applications.
-
Test and adjust settings: Before spraying your project, test on cardboard or scrap material. Adjust the flow control valve to set the paint flow rate appropriate for your material.
-
Prepare the work area: Mask off areas you don't want painted using masking tape. Cover floors and furniture with drop cloths. Ensure adequate ventilation when working indoors.
-
Spraying technique: Hold the spray gun 15-25cm (6-10 inches) from the surface. Keep the gun perpendicular to the surface and maintain a consistent distance. Start the trigger motion before reaching the surface and release after passing the edge to avoid buildup. Use smooth, overlapping passes (overlap by 50%) moving at a steady speed. Apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat for best results.
-
Monitor paint level: Refill the 800ml container as needed to maintain consistent spray performance.
-
Clean immediately after use: Proper cleaning is critical. Disconnect from power first. Empty remaining paint back into its container. Fill the container with appropriate cleaning solution (water for water-based paints, solvent for oil-based). Spray cleaning solution through the gun until it runs clear. Disassemble the nozzle and clean with the included cleaning needle. Wipe down all parts and allow to dry.
- Wear appropriate PPE (respirator or dust mask, safety glasses, gloves) and follow Ingco safety guidance. Work in well-ventilated areas to avoid inhaling paint mist.
Care & maintenance
- Disconnect from power before cleaning or any maintenance.
- Clean the spray gun thoroughly immediately after each use - dried paint can permanently clog the system.
- Flush internal components with suitable cleaning solution (water for water-based paints, appropriate solvent for oil-based materials) until spray runs completely clear.
- Disassemble and clean the nozzle using the included cleaning needle to remove any paint residue.
- Clean the 800ml paint container thoroughly and check for paint buildup around seals and threads.
- Inspect the power cord for damage before each use and replace if frayed or damaged.
- Inspect the nozzle for wear or damage and replace if necessary.
- Store dry and protected from damage with all parts clean and free from paint residue.
- Never immerse the spray gun motor housing in liquid - clean externally only with a damp cloth.
- Coil the power cord neatly for storage to prevent tangles and damage.

FAQs
Is this Ingco spray gun mains powered?
Yes. This model runs on a 220–240V~50/60Hz mains power supply for continuous operation without battery changes or runtime limitations.
What does HVLP mean?
HVLP stands for High Volume Low Pressure. It's a spray technology that uses high air volume at low pressure (0.1-0.2 Bar) to atomize paint efficiently with reduced overspray compared to conventional spray guns. This results in better paint transfer efficiency, less waste, smoother finishes, and easier cleanup.
What can this HVLP spray gun be used for?
This HVLP spray gun is used for painting interior walls and ceilings, furniture refinishing, door and cabinet painting, fence and deck coating, outdoor metal furniture projects, applying varnish and enamel, primer application, and general decorating tasks. It handles water-based paints, latex, emulsions, stains, varnishes, primers and enamel paints with appropriate thinning.
Is it suitable for decorating work?
Yes, it is designed specifically for decorating and finishing applications. The 550W motor, 850ml/min flow rate, and HVLP technology make it ideal for professional decorating work including interior painting, furniture restoration, and outdoor coating projects.
Do I need to thin paint before spraying?
Yes, most paints require thinning for spray application. Use the included viscosity measuring cup to test consistency. The spray gun handles materials up to 120DIN-s viscosity. Thin with water (for water-based paints) or appropriate solvent following the paint manufacturer's guidelines. Properly thinned paint flows smoothly, atomizes evenly, and prevents nozzle clogs.
Are nozzles included?
The spray gun comes with a nozzle assembly, nozzle cleaning needle, viscosity measuring cup, and shoulder strap. Additional or replacement nozzles are available separately for specialized applications.
Is it suitable for trade use?
Yes, it is suitable for both professional trade decorators and DIY users. The 550W power, mains operation for unlimited runtime, 800ml container capacity, and HVLP technology make it practical for professional painting and finishing work.
Do you sell accessories and consumables?
Yes. Spray gun accessories including replacement nozzles, paint containers, masking materials, and decorating supplies are available separately.
What are the advantages of mains-powered vs cordless spray guns?
Mains-powered spray guns like the SPG5008E provide unlimited runtime without battery changes, consistent power output throughout the job, higher power (550W vs typical 20V cordless), and no battery charging delays. Cordless models offer greater mobility and are ideal for outdoor locations without power access. Choose based on your typical working environment.
How long is the power cord?
The spray gun includes a 2.0m (approximately 6.5 feet) power cord, providing working mobility around the immediate area. Use an extension cable if you need to work further from power outlets.
Can I spray thick paints or just thin coatings?
The spray gun handles materials up to 120DIN-s viscosity, allowing you to spray a range of materials from thin stains and lacquers to thicker latex paints and primers. Thicker materials may require more thinning for optimal spray performance. Always test viscosity with the included measuring cup.
What spray patterns are available?
The spray gun offers 3 adjustable spray patterns: horizontal (for spraying vertical surfaces like walls and fences), vertical (for horizontal surfaces like ceilings and decks), and circular (for detail work, spot applications, and rounded surfaces). Adjust the pattern control to suit your surface orientation.
How do I clean the spray gun?
Clean immediately after use: Disconnect from power, empty remaining paint, fill the container with appropriate cleaning solution (water for water-based paints, solvent for oil-based), spray solution through the gun until clear, disassemble and clean the nozzle with the included cleaning needle, wipe all parts, and allow to dry. Never allow paint to dry inside the spray gun.
Can I use this outdoors?
Yes, provided you have access to a 220–240V power outlet (via extension cable if necessary) and the weather is dry. Never use electrical equipment in rain or wet conditions. The spray gun is ideal for outdoor projects like fence painting, deck staining, and outdoor furniture refinishing when safe electrical connection is available.
