Gravity Feed Composite HVLP Spray Gun

First off I have no experience using a hvlp spray gun. Used this gun to tackle my mother in laws kitchen cabinets. Used with a 26 gallon performax air compressor from menards. Even with that size compressor it was still going off pretty consistently while spraying, so I wouldn’t recommend using anything smaller. I sprayed Benjamin Moore advance primer and paint. Thinned down 10-15% with water. It sprayed like a charm. On my first coat of primer I did end up clogging the tip and had to clean it but that was resolved with thinning a bit more for the rest of my coats. The finish of the cabinets is beautiful and came out great. I would recommend this to any DIYer that wants to tackle a project.

This gun is fantastic for the quality of the work it produces in this price range. I ended up returning other guns I got in this range. The biggest thing is how much air it uses. 4.3 cfm, while many others I tried and looked at used anywhere from 9-13 cfm, making my compressor cycle much more for a similar or even worse quality and amount of spray. I've used it so far to paint doors, shutters, soffits and gutters. Everything feels tight, 2 pull trigger feels nice and distinct, and it was quite easy to set up for proper spraying. Tip hardly clogs if paint is thinned properly (less wiping it off with the rag). I like the ease of changing fan vertical or horizontal direction, easy to take apart for cleaning, and the regulator that came with is working good so far. My only complaint would have been that the cup is cheaper, but they all are. I use the 3m cup system with this and they go great together.

Recently i got a client job to repaint 48 chairs and barstools. I’m new to spraying and I was THIS CLOSE to dishing out $700 for a Fuji HVLP system but then i remembered i actually wanted to make money from the project, not just spend all my profits on one tool. Since i already have a 26 gallon Husky compressor (about 10 years old) i thought I’d try this Husky hvlp spray gun. Worst case scenario it sucks and i return it and buy a better one. All i can say is that this spray gun performed like a champ! After testing out the different pattern settings to find what i liked I got the hang of it pretty quickly and got to work. I used the 1.4 needle/tip to spray water based General Finishes Enduro Black Poly. I sprayed 3 coats on all 48 pieces (144 coats total), and another 3 coats on my dining table over the course of 10 days. I’m so happy I secided to go with this gun first. I’m very happy with my purchase and I’m looking forward to spraying other paints with it, including automotive and some metal flake paints with the 2.2 needle/tip. Great gun as a starter gun and i expect it will still get a lot of use as my skills improve.

I got this gun for small woodworking projects to apply paints and finishes. I am kind of finicky about the finishes on my projects. I got the gun and read (studied) the manual and instructions. Assembled the gun. It came with a regulator and pressure gauge. I was a bit frustrated because the instruction were not clear about using the air control to set the pressure of the gun. I was trying to set the gun at 35 PSIG and could not get the regulator to this pressure. I called support and they were gone for the weekend. I then tried to set the pressure with the trigger pulled and I was able to set the pressure correctly. Using the regulator on the compressor and the air control on the gun made everything work correctly. I think that the instructions could be a little better and explain this part in more detail. After figuring that out I started using the gun and it took a little bit to get the flow right. I was even able to set the pattern for some smaller areas. Overall I like this gun and I recommend it.

The spray was acceptable, but the cover for the cup didnt fit well. Had a hard time getting it on and off, and I had to do it many times. I would not recommend this.

Good gun however it only comes with "consumer" quick connect, not the industrial NPT, you should get one of these too.

Been trying to find a gun that delivers what we need for painting furniture. Thought this one might work for our needs since we figured we'd need one with two different nozzle sizes. Got it home and out of the box. The box says that there is a 2.2 and a 1.4. The needle in the gun is 1.4 and there is a needle that is marked 2.2. The 1.4 is in the gun when you open the box, but when trying to put the 2.2 needle in it won't go in. The instructions talk about a 2.2 and a 1.8 but doesn't mention a 1.4 needle. SO..... we're taking the gun back and that's a 45 minute car ride and the time and gas that goes with that.

The air adjuster is very loose and crosstreaded it was very hard to reinstall needle because of it. Also the cup cover does not go on straight and so it will not leave a tight secure fit. The paint kept coming out ot the cup if it was almost full. Had to paint half cup at a time
