Great instructional video! I had an earlier model of this kit several years ago that I used extensively building my house. I moved to gravity feed guns for the ease of clean-up and they were fine for most smaller projects but I missed the functionality for the pressure pot model. I purchased this new model several months ago and was disappointed in the manual. Thanks again for the explanation and the tips.
@ghostses5 жыл бұрын
Thanks David! Glad you found it useful. I, personally, have mostly moved away from my gravity fed guns. I agree the gravity fed guns are easier to clean though. Also agreed- the manual is garbage and would turn most folks off using this setup. Hopefully my tips will steer you in the right direction should you give yours another go. Take care and good luck, G.

many thanks for the detailed review of this (and other HF sprayers). you convinced me to try this (and avoid the lesser expensive one). I am painting cabinets indoors and was unable to get the undersides with my gravity feed sprayer, but also the cup gets in the way. I could list so many reasons why this unit is very well worth the money. Main thing for me is the ability to get into tight corners and undersides, but being able to force the paint out under pressure allows for less thinning but also allows for lower air pressure which results in minimal overspray. I was reluctant to buy this unit because at $60 it's not really disposable like the other HF sprayers I have bought. But the value I get out of this unit is easily $60/per day so I could justify getting a new one frequently. Hopefully I can keep it clean and it will last a couple years like yours.

Yes, I set the pressure at the gun (trigger pulled) to 25psi. But no, I set the pot regulator pressure to 3-5psi on the gauge. The post pressure should be set just high enough to push the material into the air-stream. I hope this helps. Good luck, G.

Cheap tools & materials represent the single biggest mistake DIYers make when approaching these types of projects. Remember tools are not an expense, they are an investment that you make in order to achieve superior results. And once the job is done they can then be sold for 80-90% of their value, so in the end it will cost less than renting. These 2 budget HVLP Systems are the best hold their value: 1st choice: Fuji 2202 Semi-PRO 2 (2203 gravity version) & 2nd choice: Earlex HV5500.

I won't disagree in the whole John. I have tools from the top shelf down. Personally, I make my decisions based on expectations, and of coarse dollars.

Glad you liked it. And yes to your question. The more viscous the material the more pot pressure you would need for a consistent flow. Less viscous would require less pressure for a consistent flow.

Hi, I've just bought one of these spray guns and as a first time user, found your video most informative. I've set it up in a similar configuration to yours and have been using it to spray aluminum soffits. I have a question regarding the air regulator on top of the pressure pot. Is it normal to have air escaping from the bleed hole at all times, no matter whether the regulator is open or shut? This is what has been happening with mine and of course, my compressor has been cycling on and off more than I feel it should. I noticed that when you tried to get the pop off valve to open then closed the regulator back down at about 36:48, there was only a faint hiss of air. Mine constantly blasts out and I can feel the air jet at about 20 inches away, which doesn't seem right. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks, Al
@ghostses4 жыл бұрын
No, that's not normal Al. The only time air should come out of the bleed hole is when you reduce the pressure in the tank. Once it gets down to whatever the setting is- it should stop. I could see that problem if your inlet pressure from the compressor is too high. Try turning it down to see if it stops acting like that. If not, I would exchange it for another one and try again. Hope this helps, G.
