Introduction to the Sagola 3300 HVLP
The Sagola 3300 HVLP spray gun with a 1.3 mm nozzle is a spray gun designed for professionals in the bodywork and automotive refinishing sectors. It forms part of the 3300 GTO range, developed to combine performance, comfort, durability and application quality. The HVLP version is particularly well-suited to applications requiring optimised material transfer, reduced paint mist and a consistent finish on bodywork components.
This spray gun is fitted with an air flow regulator featuring an RC2 pressure gauge. This pressure gauge allows the working pressure to be monitored directly at the spray gun, which improves application consistency and minimises spray variations. For a bodywork specialist, this precision is essential for maintaining a good fan width, a uniform build-up and a clean finish on base colours, metallic finishes or pearlescent effects.
The Sagola 3300 HVLP also stands out for its robust design. Its high-strength anodised aluminium body, stainless steel nozzle and needle, and single-shaft system all contribute to excellent durability and simplified maintenance. The manufacturer also states that the 3300 GTO range is designed for minimal maintenance, maximum durability and a reduction in wear parts.
Features of the 3300 spray gun
1.3 mm nozzle for base coats and topcoats
The 1.3 mm nozzle is suitable for bodywork painting jobs requiring precision and consistency. It allows for the controlled application of water-based base coats, metallic colours, pearlescent colours and topcoats. This configuration offers a good balance between flow rate, spray fineness and coverage quality.
HVLP technology for paint savings
HVLP technology minimises overspray whilst optimising paint transfer. This approach helps to reduce paint consumption, improve the cleanliness of the application and increase efficiency in the spray booth. The manufacturer states that the HVLP cap is designed for maximum economy and low overspray.
RC2 pressure gauge included
The RC2 pressure gauge allows the working pressure to be adjusted and checked directly on the spray gun. This precision enables the painter to maintain consistent settings throughout the application. In the workshop, this improves the reproducibility of the result, minimises application defects and makes it easier to use the spray gun under different working conditions.
Robust design and easy maintenance
The Sagola 3300 HVLP features a high-strength anodised aluminium body and components designed to last. The nozzle and needle are made of stainless steel, which enhances resistance to wear and cleaning agents. The seal-free design between the air and paint, the automatic seal and the single-shaft system simplify maintenance and reduce the risk of contamination in the paint.

Using the Sagola 3300 spray gun
The Sagola 3300 HVLP with a 1.3 mm nozzle is primarily used for applying automotive paint, water-based primers, metallic finishes, pearlescent colours and bodywork finishes. Before use, the surface must be properly prepared, sanded, cleaned and degreased in accordance with the Paint system used. The paint, base coat or product being applied must be mixed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
For optimum application with the GTO HVLP cap, the maximum working pressure is 2 bar. The recommended application distance is between 12 and 15 cm. These settings ensure a good balance between spray pattern width, product flow rate and mist control. The RC2 pressure gauge allows you to check the pressure as close as possible to the spray gun in order to maintain a stable spray pattern.
During application, it is recommended to maintain a steady motion, consistent overlap and a uniform distance from the surface. The 1.3 mm nozzle allows for precise work on base colours and finishes requiring a uniform finish. For metallic or pearlescent colours, this consistency is essential to minimise marbling, variations in effect or colour irregularities.
After application, it is essential to perform cleaning on the spray gun. The design of the 3300 GTO facilitates maintenance thanks to its single-shaft system, automatic seal and the absence of seals between the air and the paint. Thorough cleaning of the nozzle, needle, cap and paint circuit helps to maintain consistent spray quality.
Advantages of the 3300 HVLP
The primary advantage of the Sagola 3300 HVLP is its transfer efficiency. HVLP technology minimises overspray and optimises paint consumption. For a body shop, this translates into direct benefits in terms of application cleanliness, product control and productivity.
The 1.3 mm nozzle offers good versatility for base coats, topcoats and colours requiring precision. It enables a consistent application, with an even build-up and good control over the coat. With water-based basecoats, metallics and pearlescent finishes, this consistency helps to achieve a clean, professional finish.
The RC2 pressure gauge makes adjustment a breeze. By controlling the pressure directly at the spray gun, the painter can quickly adjust settings according to the product, surface or application conditions. This helps minimise defects and achieve a more consistent finish.
The spray gun also offers good ergonomics. The Sagola brochure highlights a comfort-focused design, a super-light yet robust body, and easy, smooth handling. This design helps to reduce fatigue during repeated applications in the spray booth.
