It took about 10 or 15 minutes to get the hang of it, but once I did,
it put on a pretty nice coat - definately nicer than I could do
brushing. The only adjustment on the gun adjusts how far the needle
is retracted when the trigger is squezed, which effectivley tunes how
much paint you are spraying out. At first I was putting way to much
on and got some runs - but after I got the hang of it I was putting on
a nice coat with no runs. I found it better to run it on the lean
side, and make multiple passes to ensure a nice coat. Overspray was
minimal, which really was nice. My clothes and garage were not
covered with little specs of paint everywhere like a high pressure
sprayer, or cheap Wagner diaphram gun.
Scott - good review. One suggestion for you... practice with that gun a bit
and try to develop the knack for spraying with a pretty healthy spray and
not get runs. Obviously, you'll be developing your sense of spraying speed
in order to prevent the runs. The principle here is that you'll get better
finishes with wetter coats than you will with dry coats. This becomes
especially true with top coats. You'll be happy to have less sanding to do
than if you put on dry coats and end up with orange peel. Practice makes
perfect and all that.
