Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have seen a few reviews stating these guns are made offshore. That is true and for this price that is what you should expect. It doesn't detract from the spray pattern you can get from each of these guns though. I have been painting cars for 35 years and have used cheap throw away guns up to my Sata remote gun system that cost nearly 2k so I know what a gun should and shouldn't do. With these guns being mass produced like they are there is a chance you can get a lemon so right when you get your guns test them with solvent. Put the cup on (hand tight only, if it leaks tighten slightly) and adjust the air at the gun very low 10-15 psi and see what kind of pattern you can get spraying against a brown piece of cardboard. Adjust the air pressure, fan width and volume (needle) until you get what looks like a cigar shape on the cardboard when you goose the gun real quick. If it is fat on top or bottom check that the gun is clean and try again. If it is still fat on top or bottom return them and get new ones. These guns have a pretty nice chrome finish which helps during clean up. Try and stay away from anodized guns and ones that are not smooth as paint is harder to clean from them. I recommend the "DeVilbiss DPC8 Spray Gun Cleaning Bottle - 16 oz. Capacity" found here on Amazon for $6.50. It will save you more than that on lacquer thinner in two cleanings. These guns need to be taken apart right after each use for cleaning. Treat the fluid nozzle and needle with care. If you drop them you will probably have to replace them to get a good pattern again. Most people using HVLP guns use way to much air pressure at the gun. Heavy bodied primers you might need 20 psi or so but base coats and thin clears stay around 10-15 psi. They use high volumes of air, not high pressure to atomize the fluid. See how low you can go and get good atomization on a test piece. Also make sure to use the correct fluid nozzle/needle for the material you are trying to spray. Thin material 1.0, med 1.3 and heavy stuff 1.8. At 1.8 I am not sure these can spray latex paint though.
