HF purple spray gun comparison, these two are different!

[@rob12449]

3-5-21: I was visiting a local HF store and took another look and to my surprise they have changed the air cap on the cheap $16 gun! It now has the hole patterns of the $30 gun! So, at least keep in mind that things do change and check your gun to see which version you have.

The 30 dollar one also comes with a wrench which isn't available at HF (at least from what I could tell) so if you want to disassemble your spray gun without modifying a 19mm wrench or chewing up the parts with channel locks / pliers it's worth the extra $$$.

an experienced prof. sprayer can paint with almost anything, and still get good results🤠

I have the cheaper one and it sprays ok, especially lighter paints, I'm sure the more expensive one sprays better. They also make one nickel or polished aluminum for about $70 and this one is probably an excellent gun for a beginner or hobby painter. I have sprayed acrylic enamel automotive paint and have other guns.

the green one is even better than both of those and it's about $30

I'm not a big fan of the SP33000 but I think I prefer the purple to the green.

[@theAudioCowboy]

@@rob12449 I think I just prefer the ergonomics of the green one, the trigger has a much closer position to the handle. As far as spray goes, I can't tell a significant difference between the two.

So many people try hard to compare these cheap guns to expensive ones. I just can’t understand why! It’s a cheap spray gun.

[@rob12449]

@@edwardzx7 because a lot of cheap guns are sold and used, the question is how good are they?
