Graco Sharpe 288880 FX3000 Paint Spray Review

I had high hopes for this gun and after reading YouTube reviews I bought it to paint a tour bus. After setting the gun, the fan control never worked, it was locked in its widest position. There were no adjustments that made the pistol impossible to use. Unfortunately I used my port cargo cannon and it was fine. I wouldn't say buying this gun is good or bad. All I know is that I had high hopes and it disappointed me. I haven't solved the problem yet, but I'll call the factory tomorrow. It's also

Bought in 2015, painted a Corvette and it has worked very well. I cleaned it thoroughly and kept it until I used it a few weeks ago.

Apply a nice pattern and evenly distribute metallics and pearls. Here is my problem. My buddy asked me to paint his truck, colors to choose from, silver and black tuxedo (lots of pearls and metallics). Because of…

I am very happy with the performance of this sprayer. I've sprayed professionally in a custom spray booth with pro gear and this gun certainly doesn't match the quality of that gear, but it doesn't cost thousands of dollars either.
