Review on Effortlessly Master DIY Painting With HomeRight Finish Max HVLP Electric Spray Gun - 3 Spray Patterns And Superior Brass Tip by David Berry

I was a little scared to use this. I have never used a paint sprayer before. Using it itself scared me and also cleaning it scared me too. I have a small bathroom cabinet painting project that I wanted to do. So I practiced on a piece of cardboard and it actually wasn’t too bad. Adjusted the flow and there it went. I used zinsser cover stain primer diluted ( I know, it says not to but I did anyway) to 40 sec on their viscosity cup which I purchased it separately. Viscosity cup had its own directions for different kind of paints, primers and etc. so I followed that instruction to the T. So I sprayed it on sanded surface and I sprayed it very thinly at first. But found out that zinsser cover stain sands very nice and fast. So after sanding the first coat to smooth finish, I sprayed it again very thick next time. It was hard around corners where it gets the spray multiful passes over. The trick I found was that you spray past the corner so that corners don’t get as much paint sprayed. Then it got easy. I did all this with red sprayer tip. Then I used SW emerald trim paint in semi gloss and sprayed it with green tip. I also cleaned the tip with wet paper towel every time I stop spraying to prevent from clogging. When I was spraying primer, it wasn’t as perfect finish. But SW emeralds paint sprayed very nicely. I think because that paint was settling flat after spraying and it gave a much better finish. I sanded in between coats on all primers and paints. I got the nearly perfect finish and it feels like velvet. I am satisfied with this purchase. It sprayed so fast. You may want to build a clean dust free plastic tent like area where you can spray it tho. Make sure it’s dust free as much as you can. This blows a lot of air around when it’s on and dust flies everywhere. Make sure to use sticky cloth to clean before spraying. I did a lot of prep work and I think essentially, that’s what made it work the most. Cleaning was awkward at first but after the second time, it got easy. I used dish soap to clean and it came with a little brush cleaner to clean the little spaces. Don’t forget to wear a mask. I forgot to wear it once and inside of my nose hair was all covered in primer! And have a bucket ready by where you paint to have a quick access to run the machine with water. I did it as quick as I could so that paint doesn’t get stuck in the machine. Also I lined the cups with plastic ziplock bags and it did fine with spraying. But if you use one bag multiful times, they rip and leak anyway. I ended up not using the ziplock bag after the second coat of primer. I just put a wrap on top then closed the lid and kept it like that and it worked for the next time. I just mix the paint gently before spraying again. I would use this sprayer for as long as it runs. Oh! And spraying thick with this sprayer is not to hold it in one place for a longer time. Instead I spray it light and have a multiful light passes not stoping at the edge but pass the edge to not have too much paint at the edge.So the question is, is there a nicer sprayer? Probably. I’ve noticed the fine mist sometimes have a thick drop here and there. It was easy to sand it btw. Is it possible to get a factory like finish on cabinet doors with this sprayer? It’s hard and tedious work but yes you can if you do all the prep work combined with this sprayer. I do want to give a very nice expensive one a try when and if this one dies.
