That is a surprisingly good gun. Controls are precise, atomizes just
wonderfully (at least with lacquer) all you need to do is keep it clean
and it will just fine for years.


The secret to every good spray gun! It doesn't matter what they look like
on the outside, but inside - in the cup, in the orifices, in all of the
inside parts and pieces, it matters a lot. I keep mine clean on the outside
as well, just because I do, but you can find paint shops all across America
with guns that are a visible testimony to every kind and color of paint that
has ever been shot through them. But... the insides of those guns will be
very clean. The number one problem with guns that won't throw a good fan,
or that drip, or that won't atomize, or won't regulate the rate - all come
down to the gun not being clean - always. The second most common problem is
with oilers in the line. Paint does not like oil in the air line. Oil your
air tools at the inlet - not in the air line.
