What this kit does
The Conventional air cap is a front-end spray gun component that shapes airflow to atomise coatings and form a consistent spray pattern. Replacing a worn air cap can help restore pattern symmetry, reduce spitting, and improve finish consistency.
Common reasons to replace
- Uneven or “heavy-edge” spray pattern
- Excessive build-up on the air cap horns
- Physical damage from drops or aggressive cleaning

Frequently Asked Questions
It shapes the atomising air stream, which affects pattern width, edge definition, and overall atomisation quality. A worn air cap can cause uneven fan shape and poor finish consistency.
This part is for conventional setups. HVLP and Compliant air caps are typically different designs and part numbers. Match the part number to your gun’s parts breakdown to confirm.
Common signs include a fan pattern that is lopsided, heavy on one edge, or “spitting,” as well as visible damage or persistent build-up that cannot be cleaned without affecting performance.
If performance does not improve, inspect the fluid nozzle/needle and any seals associated with the air cap area. Worn seals or a damaged nozzle can mimic air cap issues.
