Harbor Freight HVLP Spray Gun Review - Also Tips To Improve Usage

[@brianfreeman3676]

I have one of the HF purple spray guns that I got for $9.99. I couldn't get the paint to wet out nicely unless I cranked up the pressure to 40 psi. I was painting a motorcycle gas tank with urethane paint. A few days later, I saw one of my friends that works in a body shop. I asked him why I needed so much air pressure if it was a HVLP gun. He said that it was not really a HVLP gun. Harbor freight just calls it that. The gas tank came out beautiful, but it took some fiddling and some practice.

Good video. I have that help spray gun used it on a few wood projects no complaints. Invest in quality regulators and filters Merlin or commercial grade not central pneumatic. I put a few drops of air tool oil in the spray guns after use I live in a few humid area. Keep the videos coming

I agree you need good filters, hose, pressure regulator and then you have eliminated most all the potential problems that people run into using a spray gun......Thanks
