Harbor Freight Tools

I was hesitant to buy this spray gun but after weighing the options decided to give it a shot, and I'm glad I did. I had a truck that needed to be painted, I was low on money, had the automotive paint already, but did not have a compressor and setup to spray it. If you take the time to set the gun up properly, mix your medium correctly, and do some test spraying, this thing performs wonderfully. It is a constant stream of airflow, no waiting for an air compressor to constantly cycle on/off. My buddy was so impressed we are using it to paint his jeep this weekend. I will be using it to paint all of the woodwork in my house later this year. If mine ever fails I will definitely purchase another one. I do wish the electric cord were longer, but you do have 12 foot of air hose to make up for it.

OK - for painting large metal areas with high quality paints like a car or plane, this is the sprayer to use. If you want to spend money on an Earlex, feel free, but this will give the same results. I've tried MANY air compressors using DeVillbiss HVLP sprayers, pot sprayers, you name it, I've tried it. You'll spend 10-15min waiting for the compressor to catch up before you can go again and you'll get seam lines in the finish. What a waste. This sprayer never stops, the finish is great, and you'll be very, very, happy with the results. Wish the sprayer itself had a better set of needles and orifices. They work, but you have to be careful not to use too much pressure on the spring as you can damage the needle head. HarborFreight ought to allow you to get replacement needles and heads, but if you're careful, you'll do fine.

If you cannot afford Fuji or Apollo, this is the system to get. I only use it for pre-cat.lacquer and regular nitrocellulose lacquers. Just keep the gun,and air filter clean and there will be no worries.

I can paint faster with brush and roller

This thing really works. I've had one in the past - and this one is just as good.

You have to fiddle with the adjustments but once you get it, it lays down paint like the best.

I've shot polyurethane, primers, house paint, enamel paints - and it really lays down nicely.

Got mine on sale, what's with that price?
