4.0 out of 5 stars Best $18 I ever spent on paint equipment, August 30, 2010

I was pleasantly surprised upon opening the box and finding a very nicely made paint gun. Don't know how the Chinese can manufacture such a nice piece of equipment for that price, expecially considering that someone has to make a profit on it.
One drawback: The instruction manual was nearly useless. A couple of springs and some gaskets were included in the box but there was no indication whatsoever where they were to be used. No instruction on use of air and paint knobs...in fact, save the box to find labels for the various parts of the gun. No breakdown of parts for assembly or disassembly or ordering replacements, either. That lost a rating star.
Aside from that, I had 12 each 4'x8' wooden latices to paint, and chose an oil based paint. Don't know yet how it will work with latex, but I assume you don't need an additive for lubrication as you do with the airless guns when using latex. Didn't have any info on what viscosity was acceptable to the gun, or how to measure it, so just poured the paint in out of the can. Hooked up to my compressor and started to spray. Worked like a charm. I fiddled a bit with the air and paint knobs but couldn't tell any difference and didn't want to get away from what was working. Used about 7/8 gallon of paint to finish all 12 pieces in about two or three hours of spraying. I'm sure I'd have run out of paint and patience using a brush or roller for the job.
Used mineral spirits and a rag to clean the sprayer. One thing to be sure to check is the two holes in the side of the front piece that eject only air to control the shape of the spray. Used a small brad to clean them and then worked with mineral spirits a bit more.
I'm now sold on this kind of painting. Beats heck out of buying spray cans for such projects. I've already got another project in mind: painting several rocking chairs on the front porch.
One caution: Be sure to use breathing protection and a face mask for eye protection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gun is worth the money, June 15, 2011

I bought this gun a couple of weeks ago to paint an old jon boat. It did a GREAT job, considering what I paid for it. I used very thick marine paint, and it shot it on with no problems. I have an old crappy compressor and it still did a good job. Paint was even and did not clog up or cause sags.

If you are thinking about it, and are scared by the price, don't be. It is worth every penny you pay for it. You can find pictures of the paint job on my boat @ [...] in the forum section under duck boats.

Oh my gosh, this is a fantastic add to anyone's tool box. I have toyed with the idea of getting one of these type sprayers for months, possibly years. Just never really knew quite how to use it or what I would use it on even though I have used many paints and painting equipment on many projects....Finally I decided I would get this sprayer..it was cheap and got decent if not great reviews...Well I would like to continue the great reviews. This product is light weight but solid feeling. Well built. Comes ready to uee. Easy to clean. Simple in application, just fill the container, set it, seal it (which will make sense to you after you actually see it) and hook it up to your compressor and go. As some of the other reviews say, it takes a bit to get used to the paint volume and air adjustment, but just fool with it and test it out on something and go to town. It never oversprayed and caused the project to run, had great coverage and very paint efficient. I had used a cordless Graco model that not only wnet thru paint fast, but was 20 times the cost and eventually broke after about 5 hours. Lesson learned. This unit does come with a few extra parts and as other reviews say the manual is not very cleear on usage or where these parts will go if needed eventually, but for the price I am not too worried about that....and I do not feel this unit will need any fixing as it feels very well put together. i only have one complaint...i wish I had purchased this a long time ago!!!!!
