Gravity Feed Spray Gun with 600CC Capacity with 1.4mm -1.8mm Nozzle Professional Air Paint Sprayer

I bought this paint gun for our fence project. We needed to paint with an enamel paint and didn't want to first remove all the field fencing attached to the posts and rails. I took the gun out of the package, set it up according to instructions and it worked like a charm for the whole project. It cleaned up easily, too. I recommend a large air tank and compressor for outdoor work, but the adjustments and settings were easy to manipulate and in the end the project turned out great. I think it would work just as well with a latex paint, so maybe that will be our next project.

Having spent many years laboriously painting with a brush, I decided to try using a spray gun. This gun seemed like a good quality unit at a very reasonable price, and I was not disappointed. Before diving into spraying, take the time to learn about proper use and setup (there are several good tutorials and videos on the web). Understanding what all those knobs do and how they affect the spray pattern is really important (and unfortunately the instructions that come with the gun are of little help). Also, get some mixing cups (important for thinning paint) and some paint strainers. My first use of the gun was to repaint some vanity cabinet doors. Using a gun is so much easier than brushing when you have raised panels and edge details to paint! I sprayed BM Advance paint (thinned with about 15% water) and was able to get an amazingly smooth and even finish with the gun adjusted correctly (test spray some scrap pieces first to get everything dialed in first). Cleanup is definitely the downside of using a gun. You will need to remove the cap and nozzle with the provided tool, and use the little brush to clean out the paint chamber. Once everything is clean, used compressed air to blast out any lingering water and leave the gun disassembled to dry. It's a bit of work, but provided you have enough painting to do, the net gain over using a brush is well worth it (and thorough cleaning is the key to keeping the gun working well).

I am involved in a very large cabinet refinishing project and was hoping that the .8mm was going to work with the sealer since it isn't too thick. My goal was to use this HVLP sparingly for indoor work but it worked out so well that I a using it as my main tool for this entire job of 80 doors. Hopefully it will hold up. I have completed 40 doors so far and had two orifices get plugged but that is to be expected. There was a bit of oil in the gun so be sure to clean that first. Glad I bought this.

Used it to prime and topcoat some wrought iron gates, worked very well throughout the process easy to clean great little gun should’ve bought the larger one. For small jobs this worked like a charm for bigger project I suggest getting one with more paint capacity.

After few weeks the tread gone. We can't open for cleaning because the thread in aluminium body is week and become useless
