Description
C.A. Technologies Jaguar 100C — J100C-18-2466-401 (1.8mm Nozzle, 2466 Air Cap)
The C.A. Technologies Jaguar 100C J100C-18-2466-401 is a 1.8mm gravity feed conventional spray gun paired with the 21-2466 air cap — the high-CFM, wider-fan configuration at 1.8mm for heavy body coatings, high solid enamels, gelcoat, and materials over 30 sec. Zahn #2 that need more air volume to atomize properly than the 2266 cap provides. At 15 CFM and a 13" fan, this setup delivers stronger atomization than the 2266 at the same orifice size — the right choice when material viscosity or production coverage speed demands more than 12 CFM can deliver through a 1.8mm orifice. Used in marine fabrication, industrial coating operations, and automotive refinishing shops where the 1.8mm orifice paired with high air volume handles the heaviest materials a gravity gun can reasonably manage before stepping to 2.2mm or 2.8mm. Forged aluminum body, all stainless steel fluid passages, 700mL aluminum cup included. US made by C.A. Technologies in Louisville, CO. Call or text 586-210-0555 to confirm this setup for your material before ordering.

Application
CET Application Match — Best for This Setup
The CET Preferred Setup for heavy body coatings at 1.8mm where 12 CFM from the standard 2266 cap isn’t delivering clean atomization. Based on over 20 years supplying industrial finishing equipment, CET’s technical team recommends the J100C-18-2466-401 for marine fabrication shops, industrial coating operations, and automotive refinishing facilities running high solid enamels, heavy body primers, and gelcoat through a gravity gun — materials over 30 sec. Zahn #2 that require the 15 CFM of the 2466 cap to break up properly at 1.8mm.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between J100C-18-2466-401 and J100C-18-2266-401?
- Same 1.8mm nozzle, different air cap. The 2466 at 15 CFM is required for heavy materials over 30 sec. Zahn #2 and provides better atomization at that viscosity range. The 2266 at 12 CFM handles medium-heavy materials in the 21–30 sec. range with lower compressor demand. If you’re unsure which cap is right for your specific material, call or text 586-210-0555.
- What compressor do I need for 15 CFM?
- A compressor delivering at least 15 CFM sustained output is required for continuous panel finishing — a 5 HP two-stage or 7.5 HP single-stage compressor typically covers this. For intermittent or touch-up work with recovery time between passes, a smaller unit may be sufficient. Call or text 586-210-0555 to confirm your specific setup before ordering.
- Is 1.8mm x 2466 the right setup for gelcoat?
- The J100C-18-2466-401 can handle lighter gelcoat formulations, but C.A. Technologies’ own recommended gelcoat configuration is the J100C-28-2268-401 (2.8mm x 2268). Most polyester gelcoats are viscous enough that the 2.8mm orifice provides significantly better flow and atomization. Call or text 586-210-0555 to confirm the right orifice for your specific gelcoat.
- What needle does the 1.8mm nozzle use?
- The 40-1115 (115) needle assembly — shared with 1.5mm configurations, so one spare part covers both orifice sizes.
- What repair kit does the Jaguar 100C use?
- All J100C configurations use repair kit 10-105. CET stocks for same-day shipment — call or text 586-210-0555.
- Where can I find the full Jaguar 100C parts manual?
- The full parts manual is available on the Jaguar J100C Spare Parts page or via the download button below.

Why Choose the Jaguar 100C
Conventional Dependability Across Every Viscosity
The Jaguar 100C is C.A. Technologies’ workhorse conventional gravity feed gun — a forged aluminum body with all stainless steel fluid passages, nine air cap options, and nozzles from 1.0mm to 2.8mm covering the full spectrum from thin lacquers to ultra-heavy gelcoat in a single gun platform.
- All stainless steel fluid passages: Full chemical resistance to heavy body coatings, gelcoat resins, and industrial topcoats — no corrosion or degradation over extended production use.
- Gravity feed simplicity: Cup threads directly onto the gun. No pressure pot, no hose management. Portable setup for operators moving around molds, panels, and parts.
- Carbide nozzle options: Available at 2.8mm for abrasive or particle-laden materials that cause accelerated stainless nozzle wear.
- Forged aluminum body at 20 oz.: Lightweight enough for extended finishing sessions without operator fatigue building across a shift.
- 13 active configurations: From 1.0mm thin lacquers to 2.8mm ultra-heavy gelcoat, with both stainless and carbide nozzle options at the largest orifice size.
