For the money, I don't think you will find any system that is any better. Mine dose a great job. I've now had this spray system for nine months. It has proven it's self time and time again. I get great results in finish and time spent on the job. If you buy good paint ($45-$65 a gallon) it will go twice as far in this system verses brush and roller. I bought a second spray gun so that I can set up a primer and a paint or two colors of paint at the same time and to switch all I have to do is switch guns. I am a professional handy man and painting is some thing I do regularly. I have used this system on several jobs and it cleans up easy as well as works great.
If your gun is giving a spatter pattern, you need to thin your paint more or get the larger needle and seat. Different paints have different thicknesses, but need to be thinned to the same thickness to spray correctly. Good paint ($45-$65 per gallon) will need to be 48 ounces paint and 16 ounces water for a total of 64 ounces. Just add a little water at a time till you get the hang of it with the paint you're using.
If you're getting excessive over spray, your paint is to thin, in either case to thin correctly use the drip stick that comes with the system. Let the paint run off until it starts to drip. From the first drip it should drip four times in four seconds. It will take a little practice but when you get it correct it will work correctly.
Wear ear muffs and some type of filter mask.
When I'm painting a ceiling I put down a drop cloth on the whole floor. It's just easier and less worry.
Happy painting. :)
