nope Looks good but not. Use at your own risk. Here's the truth

Stay away from this gun. I bought them after reading the reviews. I was looking for a reasonably priced paint gun that would do a decent job of applying primer, paint, middle coat and clear coat which will hopefully be an improvement over the cheap cheap Harbor Freights I've used in the past since I've been painting the whole car. They won't do this at all, and you'll spend extra time fixing the problems these weapons cause. Time is money when you have a business that does it. I have a complete workshop setup with a DeWalt two stage air compressor that can run multiple air tools at the same time. I have all the necessary built-in air and moisture filters just for painting. Painting or adjusting spray guns is not new. The primer did not fit well no matter how many adjustments were made to the gun. I used the blue gun first as the 1.8 tip is perfect for priming and then I tried the red gun with the 1.4 just as a test. These guns just won't do it. After countless hours of sanding the blocks to get them flat and strong, I tried again with the same results. I've used this primer before with great results so I was pretty sure that wasn't it. I used another brand gun I bought to test my theory that it was a gun and not a paint, Husky from Home Depot. No problems at all with the Husky, the primer went well. I didn't have to fix anything. Tried the red TCP cannon for base coverage. Same problem with the fact that it doesn't fit well. No adjustments changed the situation again. Husky came out. And again no problem. I would give this product no stars if possible. I feel robbed. TCP, your guns are junk! To be honest I've never tried a paint spray gun. Why bother when the other two fall apart the same way? If you're looking for an inexpensive, high-performance spray gun, get the Husky. I was positively surprised. I'll throw the PTS in the trash. One of the metal paint cups was bent and I screwed it to the gun. I got very tense. I understand my guilt. The Husky's plastic cups don't, however. Goodbye forever!
