SATA jet K HVLP 0.8 Basic: The New Premium Spray Gun for Large-Area Applications
Engineered by SATA for flawless clearcoats and functional coatings across wide surfaces, the jet K HVLP 0.8 Basic pairs a turbulence-free labyrinth airflow system with a dual trigger-size kit for all-day comfort on both water-based and solvent-based paint systems.
Large surfaces punish inconsistent spray guns: every pass has to lay down the same fan width, the same atomization, and the same finish from the first panel to the last. SATA built the jet K line to solve exactly that problem. The jet K HVLP 0.8 Basic is the newest addition to the range, a pressure-fed HVLP spray gun designed for large-area applications, from functional coatings to flawless clearcoat finishes, on both water-based and solvent-based paint systems.
At just 430g, it is light enough to hold steady through a full shift, and its labyrinth airflow system smooths out turbulence between air and material the moment the trigger opens, so the pattern stays clean and even across a spray fan height of up to 36cm.
Why the jet K HVLP 0.8 Basic Stands Out
Turbulence-Free Atomization
SATA’s labyrinth airflow design manages the air-material interaction inside the gun body, reducing turbulence for a smoother, more consistent spray pattern across large panels.
Built for Big Coverage
A spray fan height of up to 36cm means fewer passes to cover the same surface, saving time on large-area work like fleet panels, machinery, and architectural components.
Comfort Kit Included
Every gun ships with a standard S-M trigger pre-installed plus a second M-L trigger kit, so it fits a wider range of hand sizes without buying a separate accessory.
What Is the SATA jet K HVLP 0.8 Basic?
The jet K HVLP 0.8 Basic is a pressure-fed spray gun using SATA’s HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) technology. An RP (Reduced Pressure) version is also available in the jet K family for shops that need higher transfer rates at higher pressure. This BASIC configuration ships fitted with a 0.8mm nozzle, with sizes from 0.8mm up to 1.4mm available across the jet K range to match material viscosity.
Stainless steel is used for the fluid tip and needle, paired with a wear-resistant paint needle seal, so the wetted parts hold up to repeated cleaning and a wide range of coating chemistries. The gun connects via a 1/4″ male air fitting (without a swivel joint) and a 3/8″ male material connection, rated to a maximum material inlet pressure of 10 bar.

Pro Tips for Getting the Most from the jet K HVLP 0.8 Basic
1. Match nozzle size to material viscosity
Stick with the 0.8mm nozzle for lighter coatings such as clears and basecoats. Move up toward the 1.1–1.4mm nozzles in the range for heavier primers, fillers, and single-stage paints. A nozzle that’s too small for a heavy material forces higher pressure and hurts atomization.
2. Hold the recommended spray distance
Keep the gun 10–17cm (about 4–6.5 in) from the surface. Passes that are too close overload the film and cause runs; passes that are too far let material dry in the air and create a dry, gritty texture.
3. Set air pressure at the gun, not just the compressor
The jet K HVLP 0.8 Basic is rated for a recommended dynamic inlet pressure of 2 bar, within a working range of 0.5–2 bar. Check pressure at the air inlet with a test gauge, since hose length and fittings mean compressor output isn’t what actually arrives at the gun.
4. Pick the trigger that fits your hand
The kit includes the standard S-M trigger pre-installed plus an M-L trigger for larger hands. Swapping to the right size reduces hand fatigue on long large-area jobs and keeps trigger pull consistent from the first panel to the last.
5. Flush wetted parts between material changes
The stainless steel fluid tip, needle, and wear-resistant needle seal are built to handle repeated cleaning, but material left to dry in the passages is still the most common cause of a ruined spray pattern. Flush immediately when switching between water-based and solvent-based systems.
6. Overlap passes by about 50%
For the most even film build across large panels, overlap each pass by roughly half the width of the spray fan (up to 36cm on this gun), keeping the gun perpendicular to the surface and moving at a steady, consistent speed.
Built for Consistent Results on Every Large Surface
A large-area spray gun built around turbulence control and comfort translates directly into fewer rejected panels, less rework, and a more consistent finish across every job, whether it’s a single large panel or a full production run.
Ideal Applications
The SATA jet K HVLP 0.8 Basic is suitable for finishing work that demands even coverage across wide surfaces, including:
- Large-panel automotive and fleet refinish work

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the jet K HVLP 0.8 Basic and the RP version?
HVLP uses high-volume, low-pressure air for better transfer efficiency at lower pressure, which suits shops focused on reducing overspray and material use. RP (Reduced Pressure) is tuned for higher output at higher pressure, useful where application speed matters most. Both are available in the jet K BASIC line.
What nozzle sizes are available for the jet K?
0.8, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4mm nozzles are available across the jet K range, letting you match nozzle size to the viscosity of the coating you’re applying.
Is the jet K HVLP 0.8 Basic suitable for waterborne paint?
Yes. It’s built for both water-based and solvent-based paint systems, including primers, fillers, and single-stage materials.
What’s included with the gun?
The jet K HVLP 0.8 Basic ships with the S-M trigger installed, an M-L trigger kit for larger hands, and a 0.8mm nozzle set.
How much air does the jet K HVLP 0.8 Basic use?
475 l/min (16.77 CFM) at the recommended 2 bar dynamic inlet pressure, within a working range of 0.5–2 bar.
