Graco-Sharpe 288885 Finex FX2000 Conventional Spray Gun, 1.4 mm

I use this gun 5 days a week and it holds up great I know the price can be misleading but don't let the low price fool you to think that this gun is low-quality this is a very great gun I would recommend it for all first time hvlp painters

This is our second gun. We replaced the first one because the trigger wore through and we couldn't find an alternative trigger. So, we bought this and within 9 months it did the same thing.If you're a hobbyist this may be an ok gun. If you use it every day, I would avoid it.

Unlike HVLP guns, this moves material much slower, requires much higher pressures, and requires more thinning of paints, but works well with my old low SCFM output 1 HP compressor. I'm glad to find this gun among all the HVLP guns out there and note that it doesn't even vaporize the paint like an HVLP gun I have been using at lower pressures. That is to say, there is less material left floating in the air. Using this gun was a pleasant change back to the way it used to be with my old DeVilbiss paint gun. Note however, that I found I needed a rather high pressure (80psi) for the auto paint used (urethane) even after thinning, so pretest your painting pattern so that you don't paint too thick of a material as new paint formulas are intended for high flow HVLP guns. Results were good, but I should have practiced first to get the right mixture.

Need I say more? It is better that the $35 China guns, but I feel I was mislead. I would have NEVER purchased it if it was advertised as IMPORTED from China.It's not a bad gun, but not a $100 gun either.
