HVLP Spray Gun

I used a high pressure "pro" gun in the past with a huge compressor and many $$$. Nothing has sprayed any better than this HVLP gun at a fraction of the cost. Now I have a 28gal compressor and spray 25-30lbs. I've used both the 1.4 and 1.7 nozzles on water and oil based paints and top coats for about three years now. Beautiful finishes. I've switched pretty much to water based material. Just finished spraying MinWax polycyclic (see photo) with 1.4 nozzle with almost no thinning. Maybe could spray without thinning at all but I'm hesitant to mess with something that's working. Looks like hell when you spray it, dries to mirror smooth finish. Strain the paint every time. Use distilled water to thin (if at all). Pour in an ounce or two of isopropyl alcohol and spray it out to clean. No need to take it apart all the time. Maybe every half dozen times I take it apart to add a couple drops of oil to the needle bushing and that's about it. Water base really speeds things up. This is an excellent deal, a “no brainer” I would say.

Cheap gun but it works fine. No DV-1 here but a good primer gun. Sprayed out some thick stuff with only the 1.7 tip. The 2.5 tip will spray out the body man in a can thick stuff. (Slick sand). Came with lots of extras but the downside is you have to use the wrench provided to change the tips.

Good gun for the money.

Shot these cabinets with the 1.7 tip and Sherwin Williams Gallery and they turned out great . Some pointers. No need to thin the gallery paint, but it will have an orange peel appearance when shot, but then will lay flat. Before you fill the cup with paint, set your pressure on the gun at 25 to 30 psi with the trigger pulled and the air flowing. Do not use the included strainer at the bottom of the cup, as latex paint will not flow through it properly. Just use Harbor Freight 60-70 mesh conical strainers when filling the cup. I wish that I would've known these details before I started.

9/25/25 Update. Seller read this review and contacted me to fix the situation. They bent over backwards to fix things for me, and totally deserve credit for that. It’s rare to have a seller stand behind their product like that and be willing to go so far to fix a situation. So I am changing my review to five stars as if you do get something wrong with your kit, they will fix the situation. 9/20/25 I bought this specifically for the 2.5mm nozzle. The 1.4 and 1.7 nozzles that come with it probably work fine, they close and thread and seal and assemble as they are supposed to. But the 2.5mm nozzle and pushrod are wrong size for the device. You can see in my picture the 1.4 and 1.7 pushrods are on the right and correct sizes. The 2.5 is on the left and is far larger. The excessive length will not allow the knob on the back of the device which holds the reset spring assembly, to close and thread, rendering the unit inoperable with the 2.5 installed. You can see in picture 2 with the 2.5mm pushrod installed, it sticks too far out the back and the rear thread-on part that is supposed to cover the rod and capture the reset spring can’t actually seat on the unit or catch threads. In picture three you can see the rear part placed over the pushrod, and you can see where the threads are suppose and catch and thread together, screwing in. But the pushrod is too long. It can’t close and thread together. The rear part is what holds the reset spring in so when you squeeze the handle and release, it resets the handle turning off the sprayer. Meaning, the failure to thread together prevents the unit from operating m. It’s useless for me because I only needed the 2.5mm size. And it’s the one size that doesn’t work. The seller included a “contact me” card, but following the instructions, it is apparently outdated, and doesn’t work. I tried to find another way to talk to the seller and can’t. So I’m leaving this review.

I like how much is included with this for the price, it's the complete package for a fraction of the cost, I'm considering buying the blue one just to set up for primer, I also like the metal cup, I've had several of the plastic ones and they don't hold up well, they break and it gets hard to put the lid on, however it could be I'm lazy at cleaning.

It is literally impossible to remove the factory installed spray tip. I need to install a wider tip, otherwise this gun is an expensive paperweight. This totally unacceptable and I am now chasing another gun locally to do the job I need to finish asap. Pissed off and frustrated

This is the first HVLP spray gun I've ever bought and ever used. Worked great to shoot flake, clearcoat and basecoat. My sons goalie mask came out great. Gun sprayed flake out of the 2.5 tip pretty well. If you let it sit in the can for more than 10 seconds, it'll clog. I wish it came with a plastic cup so you could see how much paint is left. Cons: o-rings crumbled after a few cleanings. not sure the size or where to get replacements

Worked perfectly. I used this gun to shoot undercoating, easy setup. Did exactly what I needed it to do, didn’t even bother to clean it I just tossed it out

El producto llegó en buen estado, pero la llave no es como la que se muestra en la imagen.

Yes you do get good bang for your buck. The lid for the pot seemed a bit crappy. I swapped it for an old Devilbiss pot/lid, and it paints perfectly.

malo. solo es un vaso de aluminio. nada que ver con lo que indica la publicacion

Just be aware that you should take this spray gun (I imagine they are all like that) completely apart to clean up the paint residue after use lest you should find it inoperable subsequently. I repaired and repainted the bumper rash that my wife did to her car and it worked fine.
