Arc or Mig?

You need 250 amps minimum for spray transfer.


160A+ for spray transfer with 0.8mm wire.  My 210A MIG will happily spray transfer with 0.9mm wire.

OK all you welding geeks out there. What the hell is spray transfer? I thought that was something my cat did when marking it's territory!

Hopefully wither of the below links will explain it for you.  Effectively it means the wire does not touch the workpiece and becomes molten as it leaves the torch.
