>>11382967>>11382969Let me break it down for you, however I'm not sure I can if your physics teacher failed to.
Many air come in. Many air = many pressure.
Valve let some air through.
Many air become some air. Some air = some pressure.

>Which in turn means that you don't actually always spray at the high pressures you are mentioning.Yes, however I am also not spraying at the lowest possible pressure, which would be dumb.
>And the trigger does NOT control the pressure.I really don't know how to break it to you, but the trigger controls the amount of air flow. Do you know what air pressure is? It's the amount of air in a given space. Can you take the last logical step here and figure this one out?
Both the trigger and the valve I have on my hose (yes I understand not everyone does and it's literally the same thing that you have on your compressor) regulate air flow and thus the pressure. For base/varnish coats I absolutely spray on that high pressure and it results in great atomization. The only drawback is that the higher the pressure the higher the amount of paint dust. But that's what a spray booth is for and you would get the dust even at lower pressures if your paint is being properly atomized instead of drizzled on the model.
