Hi Guys:

Just thought I'd post an informative thing here. Recently the local HF had
a parking lot sale and I picked up an HVLP gun - just because it was cheap
and I thought I'd see how it worked as a primer gun. Can't ever have too
many guns, ya know. This is the gun I picked up...

I got it for $9 at the parking lot sale prices and figured I wouldn't go
broke if it did not perform well. Loaded it up with urethane primer today
and put it to use. It worked perfectly. I wouldn't expect more from a very
expensive gun. Now - it may not last all that long but time will tell that
story. For guys that paint on a far more occasional basis than I do, it
would be a great primer gun.

The cautionary reminder is these are CAS guns and no CAS gun is designed to
shoot latex like a turbine HVLP, so don't look for it to fulfill that
purpose. But - if you're shooting lacquer, urethane, etc., especially on an
occasional basis, it's a good buy - even if it's a throw away after 5 or 6
uses.


I have used them quite a bit. for 9 throw them away after a while.

I will recommend this gun over the $9. It's got a much finer spray. The
nozzle is so much more refined as far as air holes go.

For $29.99 on sale or $24.99 on a coupon, it's a great buy.
I still use the $9 gun, but for stuff I really care about, I pull out
the more expensive conversion gun.
