![]() These work in the same way as traditional HVLP guns, so anyone familiar with the basics should be able to get going quickly. Most plug into a regular 110-volt outlet, like this model from Fuji Spray, and they’re supposed to produce minimal overspray too. These are incredibly portable by design, as they don’t require an air compressor, and all the things that go with it. The Fuji Spray Semi-Pro 2 is what’s called a turbine paint gun system. If things are good out of the box, take extra time to make sure you clean these well, as leftover paints will likely gum things up, making this issue worse. On the other hand, a number of reviewers did mention some trouble with the tips not being easy to remove. That’s been my experience as well with any spray gun: the right compressor, and taking the time to get the settings right, makes all the difference in the world. If you have the right compressor, reviewers note that these spray as well as many nicer guns. DeVilbiss makes some great products, and this kit reflects that too. With the priming gun (bigger nozzle for thicker material) you can do the base coats, and you can use the other gun (smaller nozzle for thinner material) for color and clear coats, which go on much thinner. The DeVilbiss StartingLine Spray Gun Kit is the more entry-level of their kits, but it packs everything you need to get a DIY paint job done. Consider your project needs before buying, and don’t forget to get a gun cleaning kit and a pressure regulator to go on the gun too, as this is just the gun. If you’re spraying an engine bay, you may struggle to achieve full coverage. If you’re spraying parts hung up, especially flat parts like a fender or a hood, then you’re in luck. Simply put, you have to make sure to keep it upright so the paint feeds into the gun. Keep in mind that, as it comes out of the box, it has the limitation of being used in only a traditional spray angle. The gun is easy to disassemble for cleaning and it isn’t hard to adjust the spray fan for beginners. I sprayed plenty of smaller fabrication jobs with these, like storage racks and tables. These are usually available at Wal-Mart too, and if you take the time to dial it in just right, you can get decent results. Sometimes, that’s all you need, and for well under $100, it’s a great choice for a lot of people. The Cambell Hausfeld HVLP paint gun! This was the first HVLP gun I ever used, and it is dead simple to use and maintain. The heads can be used 5 to 10 times each before they need to be replaced, while the spray cup system uses disposable liners and an outer mixing ratio cup.Ĭonventional gravity feed or pressure pot ![]() This kit comes with five in each size (1.2, 1.3, and 1.4 mm), and replacements run roughly $6 to $10 per head for packages of five. I admit this has an industrial angle to it, but for the occasional user it might even be the ideal solution, instead of finding out that your $200 spray gun is leaking, you can pop on a fresh head and get to it. The “everything is replaceable” mantra is one that’s a little different when you first encounter it, but there’s an advantage to the 3M design that keeps the paint out of the gun itself and in the replaceable heads: namely, that if something goes wrong, replacement is quick, easy, and you’re painting instead of trying to clean tiny passages on your paint gun. ![]() The Performance Spray Gun comes with 3M’s PPS 2.0 system, which is designed to be easy to use, and allows you to spray at any angle, unlike most conventional gravity-feed HVLP spray guns. 3M has packaged all the best parts of different spray guns into one unit. The 3M Performance Spray Gun Starter Kit is exactly what it sounds like: an all-inclusive kit that will get you going with an incredibly versatile spray gun. 3M makes some of the best spray accessories in the business, and I practically lived in one of their respirators for a couple years. ![]()
