A high-volume, low-pressure(HVLP) spray gun coupled with quick connect ring nut and a spring-loaded air diverter and a method for assembling the same applies, for example, non-latex paints, such as, for example, automobile paints, thinner-based paints and/or the like to surfaces. A barrel attaches to a body of the spray gun which has an air cap attached to a ring nut with a retaining ring and the spring-loaded air diverter. The air diverter then abuts the air cap. The diverter has intermediate channels therein. A trigger engages a two-stage air bypass valve which allows air from an air source to move through a bypass channel, a top channel and/or diverter channels to exit through a pair of diverter orifices and an opening in the air cap. The air atomizes the paint in a nozzle channel of the gun and exits the opening in a conically diverging spray pattern. The air from the diverter orifices forces the diverging spray pattern into a different spray pattern.
