Review on Graco Sharpe 289221 Mini HVLP FX1000 Paint by Ken Ventura

Revainrating 5 out of 5

fx1000 is great for motorcycles!

I bought this gun because I only paint motorcycle parts (fenders, tanks, fairings). I hesitated because a lot of people told me that the minigun is only good for repairs, but that's not true. I bought this gun with a 1.0 tip and it worked great! Painting motorcycle parts is what this gun is very good at. I'm not sure what it's capable of on large details, but if you're painting fine details like me, it's great for that. It lays perfectly on the substrate and cleans the surface with a glassy smoothness. Also, this gun saved me a lot of money due to the small cup size and the accuracy this gun offers. 1.0 is the correct nozzle size for car paint. Mini pistols have completely different inner workings than normal HVLP pistols. The regular hvlp 1.4 is the same as the 1.0 mini hvlp in terms of tip sizes. If you are looking for a great gun that saves money on paint, offers better maneuverability, control and a better finish then I would highly recommend this gun.
