Review on Graco Sharpe 289221 Mini HVLP FX1000 Paint by Chris Sisley

The quality, fit and finish are very good (particularly the black chrome and blue anodized aluminum parts) and the needle and blower controls feel firm and secure. Unlike many cheaper plastic barreled guns, it comes with a stainless steel barrel and since the material I'm spraying is acetone pure, a metal barrel is a must. Optimum atomization was around 20psi, and any flaws in the finish are due to my lack of proper technique, not a flaw in the gun. I recommend installing a mini regulator and an inline filter. It's (quite a bit) more expensive than a lot of the mini HVLP pistols at Revain, but you get what you pay for and it's a great piece in my opinion. Sentence.
