A-60 Air Caps HVLP — tune your A-60 for the finish each job demands
One minute you’re spraying basecoat on a door, the next you’re fighting the fan. The pattern feels soft, then suddenly harsh; metallics start to stripe and overspray clouds the booth. You tweak pressure and distance, but the finish still shifts from pass to pass. Instead of focusing on technique, you’re busy compensating for airflow that never matches the job.
You swap settings again, hoping one setup will cover primer, color, and clear, but every compromise costs time and material. A wider panel wants efficiency; a tight repair needs finesse; clear demands stability. When your A-60 could do more with the right tuning, that’s the signal to upgrade—choose the A-60 HVLP, MP, or HTE air cap and spray the way the job requires.
A-60 Air Caps HVLP - Key features
These A-60 Air Caps are replacement tuning components made for the Avalon A-60 platform, giving painters a way to shift the gun toward HVLP, MP, or HTE spray behavior. Across the A-60 family, Avalon centers performance around its patented U-shaped nozzle concept, fine atomization, and professional refinishing control for demanding shop work.
That makes them ideal for painters who want to adapt one A-60 setup to different materials and finish goals. In practice, that could mean choosing HVLP when you want higher transfer efficiency on larger panels, HTE when you want a longer and more uniform pattern, or the medium-pressure option when you want balanced speed, control, and a finer, even mist.
Technical features of A-60 Air Caps HVLP
Each cap changes how the A-60 handles airflow and atomization. Avalon says the HVLP version uses a new airflow system and U-groove nozzle to pre-atomize paint before it exits the air cap, creating dual-stage atomization, a wider spray pattern, and very high transfer efficiency with less overspray and paint waste.
For painters who want a different response, the HTE cap is designed to let airflow pass more efficiently through the U-shaped nozzle for finer droplets, a more controlled spray pattern, and a longer, more uniform fan. Avalon’s medium-pressure A-60 variant adds a finer, more consistent pattern with even distribution from center to edges and relatively low air consumption of about 300 L/min, making it a strong balance of speed and control.

| Air cap | Spray style | Main technical emphasis | Pattern behavior | Best fit in practice |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HVLP | High volume, low pressure | Pre-atomization before paint exits the cap, dual-stage atomization, high transfer efficiency | Wider spray pattern | Large panels, color application, lower overspray and paint waste |
| MP | Medium pressure | Finer, more consistent atomization with balanced speed and control | Even distribution from center to edges | Professional finishing when you want a balanced feel between efficiency and control |
| HTE | High transfer efficiency | More efficient airflow through the U-shaped nozzle for finer droplets and stronger atomization | Longer, more uniform spray pattern | Basecoat and clearcoat work where smooth, even coverage matters |

Are the A-60 Air Caps HVLP | MP | HTE original?
Yes. AV Spray Guns identifies itself as the authorized distributor of AVALON AIR TOOLS Co., Ltd. in the United States, and its About page says Avalon spray guns are manufactured in Taiwan. The company also states that it keeps spare and replacement parts in stock, which adds confidence for long-term A-60 platform support.
Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q)
You are making a smart choice if you want to get more flexibility out of your A-60 without changing the whole spray gun. If you still have questions before buying, the answers below will help you understand which air-cap style best matches your paint system and workflow.
What do these air caps actually change on the A-60?
They change the spray character of the A-60 by shifting it toward HVLP, MP, or HTE behavior. That affects how the gun handles airflow, atomization style, transfer efficiency, and fan shape during refinishing work.
Which air cap is best if I want less overspray and better material savings?
HVLP is the strongest match for that goal. Avalon says the HVLP version delivers exceptionally high transfer efficiency and significantly reduces overspray and paint waste while keeping the pattern wide and easy to control on larger panels.
Which air cap is best for a longer, more uniform fan?
HTE is the best fit when that is the priority. Avalon says its HTE air cap creates a longer, more uniform spray pattern and helps produce finer droplets with a more controlled spray pattern.
Which option gives the most balanced feel between speed and control?
The medium-pressure option is the balanced choice. Avalon describes its A-60 medium-pressure variant as producing a finer, more consistent pattern with even distribution and relatively low air consumption, which supports smooth, efficient professional finishing.
Are these air caps specifically for the A-60 platform?
Yes. The product is listed by AV Spray Guns specifically as A-60 Air Caps HVLP | MP | HTE, so it is presented as an A-60 platform accessory rather than a universal cap set.
Can the A-60 platform handle both full panels and more detailed work?
Yes. AV Spray Guns describes the A-60 series as professional-grade spray guns for automotive refinishing, covering work from full panels to detailed applications. That is why changing cap behavior can be useful for painters who handle different types of jobs with the same platform.
If I buy from AV Spray Guns, do I get real support and return coverage?
Yes. AV Spray Guns says it is Avalon’s authorized U.S. distributor, offers spare and replacement parts, and provides a 45-day risk-free pilot test with return instructions and support for defective or incorrect items.
