Includes Everything You Need--Just Add Paint
The Fuji Q4 PRO Spray System has everything you need--just add paint to get started. The system includes a turbine, spray gun with cup, 25-foot hose with quick-connect, air control valve, user manual, viscosity cup, wrench, and cleaning brush.

Powerful but Quiet 4-Stage Turbine
This spray system is equipped with the Fuji Q4 PRO QUIET turbine, which features the powerful Ametek-Lamb Electric 4-stage turbine motor type #119292. This innovative technology provides extra pressure, which results in less thinning of paint, making it easier to execute heavy-duty paint jobs more efficiently and effectively. Fuji has been able to reduce the noise level of the Q4 PRO QUIET turbine by over 50 percent, eliminating the need for ear protection and reducing worry about hearing loss.

Non-Bleed Spray Gun with High-Efficiency Aircap for Better Performance
The included Fuji XT-2 Spray gun is non-bleed, which means that air passes through the spray gun only when the trigger is pulled, so there is less paint build-up on the fluid nozzle tip, less blowing of shop dust, and less turbulence in the spray area.

The Aircap features a design that provides a cleaner spray pattern. The result is less overspray and mist in the air. You can purchase additional Aircaps, and different Aircaps are color-coded, so it is easy to select the one you need.

Save Time with the Conveniently Located Air Control Valve
While other spray systems include controls on the turbine, Fuji has installed the air control valve right at your fingertips, so you can quickly and easily reduce overspray and bounceback.

Hose Stays Flexible for Many Years
The included Fuji Hi-Flex hose is designed to stay flexible regardless of temperature for many years. If you've used the typical solid plastic hoses that come with most HVLP turbine systems, you'll really appreciate the maneuverability and ease-of-use of the Hi-Flex hose design.

The Fuji Q4 PRO HVLP Turbine Spray System is backed by a two-year parts and labor warranty.

What's in the Box
Q4 PRO QUIET turbine, spray gun with cup, 25-foot hose with quick connection, air control valve, viscosity cup, wrench, cleaning brush, user manual.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great sprayer, I am very pleased, December 18, 2003

By 

hank "calcutter" (Danville, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fuji 3004 Q4 PRO Quiet 4-Stage HVLP Spray System (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have had this unit about 10 months now and I am very happy with it. My goal, in general, was to get a sprayer with the following features/functionality:

-spray fine finishes such as lacquer and water borne finishes
-also spray thin stains as well as occasional latex and oil-based paints
-variable air pressure for more control
-spend less than $1,000

This unit has satisfied those goals very well. The variable air control is really a must, in my opinion, otherwise I cannot adequately control the atomization. This air control works very well on this unit. It does not vary the motor speed, but varies the flow through the hose with a convenient control located at the gun handle - you can vary the flow as you work and fine tune it without having to run back to the compressor unit to make adjustments. I just turn the unit on and then make all the adjustments at the gun.

This unit sprays everything have tried very well: thinned lacquer, straight stains and dyes, latex paint (with Flotrol), and slightly thinned oil base paint. The finishes are extremely smooth.

Once I have the air and fluid controls set for a given project, the amount of overspray is really remarkably small. Although it is possible to create a lot of overspray, that usually means the air control is set to high.

The unit is very easy to clean - usually I just run solvent through the gun after every coat. Then thoroughly clean the needle and nozzle after the project.

A bonus for me is the sound level of the unit - it is really very low - it is like a mid range "whoosh" . Definitely not a loud unit at all. I find that once I have everything adjusted and start spraying, I do not even pay attention to the sound of the unit at all. I understand that some other brands have very irritating noise levels. Not so here.

I also appreciate the manufacturer's after sale support. Very helpful. I also purchased (from Fuji direct) the 6 foot whip hose and the set of small plastic cups for small jobs. The whip hose is very light and I find it very helpful in maneuvering in my small spray area.

I have been happy with the needle/nozzle combination which came with the unit, although my guess for the majority of my lacquer work, the #3 nozzle would work fine also.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great product and Excellent service, March 14, 2004

By 

Musicgioni "Genius Wood Worker" (Spring Hill, Florida United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fuji 3004 Q4 PRO Quiet 4-Stage HVLP Spray System (Tools & Home Improvement)

Whatever happened to my first review of this product? I can not find it anywhere and I wanted to spread the message about Fuji very much!

I bought a Fuji Q4 about 3 weeks ago and after having waited for long because of a delay in manufacturing due to the release of the new XT Non Bleeder type gun that comes standard with all new Fuji Q3 and Q4 systems.

I opted for the Q4 because for a relatively small difference in price you simply get the most powerful turbine in the market. It is a 4 stage turbine made right here in America. Fuji manages to put this monster in a very steardy black metal case and the system is claimed to be 50% quieter than the competition. Comparing it to a Turbinare unit I was thinking to buy I totally agree with Fuji's claims.

The unit came in a steardy box but to my dismay the plastic fitting that connects the hose to the turbine was broken. In addition to this, the 6 foot Flex hose I had ordered to come with my unit did not show up either.

A simple call to Fuji and a couple of days later I received a box with the Flex hose, a new plastic fitting and a quick coupling compliments of the company. I was also informed that
I would be receiving a new metal fitting as soon as they are available.

I highly recommend any new buyer to get this Flex hose as it really makes spraying a pleasure w/o the burden of the big rubber hose that comes standard with the unit. By the way, my unit also came with the small plastic cups I bought as an additional option and a pack of spares like cup seals and additional strainers.

I used my Fuji to spray 26 restaurant chairs for a friend who is openign up a new restaurant and the unit performed much better than I had anticipated. That time I used the plastic cups only because I had to spray between chair legs and I needed the smaller size of the spray sytem. The finish was as impecable as I ever had using a spray system and with an ease of conntrol I never felt using my compressor powered NON HVLP sprayer. It is such a different experience to have your paint go where you itnend it and STAY there instrad of the mess that a high pressure sustem creates. After spraying the 26 chairs I pretyt much walked away from the job with no paint stuck on me or my clothing.

The next day I had to spray some booths for the same friend and I tried to use the metal cup that comes with the system. Unfortunately, I could not make the gun achieve an good seal and since it is pressurized the paint was oozing out from it. I went back to the plastic cups and finished the job w/o a problem.

Having contacted Fuji again I was told they will be sending me a newer make of a cup and hopefully this problem will also be solved. Please note that since the XT gun and cup assembly is new for Fuji and I guess some problems had to be anticipated. The point here is that the manufacurer is simply AMAZING in responding to comments and lightning fast in taking care of any problems you may have. You get to talk to Paul, the owner himself (not some clerk that could not give a darn about anything) and this guy even responds messages on weekends!

I give the Fuji Q4 a round 5 star for performance even with the few mishaps I had with it. It is super quiet, super powerful, super performing and it is backed up by what I feel is the best customer service I have ever encountered in my 15 years of buying wood working equipment from various big name manufacturers like Delta, Powermatic, Bosch etc. These guys could learn something about customer service from Fuji.

I give Fuji a 4 star for quality control but again, the outstanding service they offer prety much decides it for me: Fuji is an absolute winner! DO NOT buy another HVLP spray system until you try a Fuji first. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Overall.....impressive, June 7, 2004

By 

Chester King (under the moon somewhere) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Fuji 3004 Q4 PRO Quiet 4-Stage HVLP Spray System (Tools & Home Improvement)

Pluses:

1. Quiet operation - it sounds like a small vacuum cleaner

2. High quality parts - nothing cheap/flimsy here

3. Great quality of finish - consistent quality with paint and
laquers.

Minuses

1. VERY stiff hose - it induces fatigue after a short while which
becomes a bit of a distraction. I plan on changing mine soon

2. Expensive - I got what I paid for so it's not truly a
complaint

Overall I would give this product a 4.5 rating if I could. I'm very satisfied with this product
