A recirculating paint supply system supplies single or multiple paint coatings to paint spray stations arranged in parallel or series relation, each station including manually operated flexible monoline and coaxial conduits to supply paint to an improved spray gun. In one aspect of the invention, the improved spray gun is comprised of a polymeric material to reduce the overall weight of the spray gun thereby reducing operating fatigue and ailments caused by the use of conventional spray guns. In another aspect, the improved spray gun includes larger air passages which provides for a greater volume of air to pass through the spray gun, thereby providing increased atomization of the liquid coating composition. Thus, the reduced weight, as well as the increased atomization, increases the overall finish quality of the object being painted.
