Review on TCP Global 9-Piece HVLP Spray Gun Set - Includes 2 Full Size Spray Guns, 1 Detail Spray Gun, Inline Filter, and Air Regulator by Alex Gilbert

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Difficult to clean/poor packaging

I like the price but it's not cheap. The hardest part is taking it apart and cleaning it. I had to clamp the gun between two pieces of wood in a vise, place the included wrench on the nozzle and hit the wrench hard with a rubber mallet. I tried everything to use the tools they sent me to disassemble and clean the cup paint joint, needle seal guide screw and everything behind it. Maybe these parts are not designed to be disassembled, but then why send a special tool for it? When the package arrived everything was loose. The cardboard in the storage compartment was torn and bent. One of the pistol grips was marked, but not too bad. I used a gun with a 1.7 nozzle to spray polyethylene and it did the job well. The spray pattern was good and the material settled very well. My first coat of paint on a 36" x 80" interior door with no panels took about a third of a cup. I will most likely be returning it as it is not possible to fully disassemble and thoroughly clean it.
