Neiko 31214A Air Spray Paint Gun, Hvlp With Gravity Feed, 1.5 mm Nozzle, 600 Cc Capacity, Spray Gun Paint Sprayer For Walls, Automotive, Home Improvement

I just opened the box and tried to remove the air cap and it was impossible. will send back.

Pistola de muy buena calidad, se ahorra mucha pintura ya que no dispersa casi nada

This gun has painted all of my baby furniture and is absolutely amazing. I would buy it again, recommend it to a friend, whatever, you name it! It works well, very easy to use and set up. Its quite durable but after a lot of use the container is starting to get soft and bends easy. Other than that its a great value for the cost. The one recommendation I have, regardless whether you buy this one or another one buy the air dryer. There are a few on here that are not expensive and work great.

im very pleased with this product for the price. this is the first HVLP sprayer ive used so cant compare it to anything but it seemed to work well and is of high quality in my opinion.

the regulator lasted about 3 min into my first job costing me lots of time and a spoiled batch of paint by the time i got a new regulator on it , other then that the gun works great does its job

Many reviews talk about how hard it is to get the spray tip off. Some call this a spray nozzle a spray cap and other things. The manufacture DID NOT put any threadlocker on the one I recieved. I was able to get it off without any trouble. It was on tight, but not overly tight. I took everything apart and washed it in hot soapy water. Reassembled it and shot some hot water through it. Adjusted the pattern and it did a great job on cardboard. I have a project coming up and I will be shooting all water based products. Primer, lacquer and poly. I was surprised by the weight of the gun. I was expecting it to be made out of plastic or pot metal. Feels good. The instruction sheet is next to useless. I love that it states to contact them with any problems but there is not an address, phone number or web site anywhere on the sheet. All that aside, If this gun can handle my small project then I will be happy. I'm not planning on using it much after this. I have a conventional siphon gun (Binks model 7) but it puts out too much overspray. Paint is expensive so that is why it went with a HVLP gun. I will update my review after I have finished finishing the project. (Get it? Finish finishing! LOL)5/28/2018 - So far so good. I built new counter tops for my kitchen. I plan on painting them black and then covering with polyurethane. Yesterday I sprayed on Zinsser Shellac Based Primer to seal the end grains. This is pretty thin stuff and the gun with it's 1.5 tip did a great job. This morning I sanded the tops and shot a coat of water based high-fill primer. Thicker stuff but not as thick as latex. The gun did OK. Not great but OK. It left the texture pretty rough. It should sand out easily though. I did encounter a problem with the gun. It would leak around the threads where the air cap screws on. You know, the colored outer ring. It was a small leak and after a bit the primer would build up and drip out. At first I didn't know where it was coming from and thought I had dripped sweat onto the surface. Next coat I'm gonna use thread tape to see if that helps. Also, when you put the plastic cap on the cup DO NOT hold the gun by the handle. The cup will bend at the connection point and could snap off. Instead hold the cup like holding a brandy sniffer. If you don't drink brandy, hold your palm up and slip the cup between the third and fourth fingers. This will cradle the cup and allow you to push the cap on without putting pressure on the joint. The photo shows the countertop after the first coat of primer.5/28/2018 - Shot the second coat of primer and used the thread tape on the air cap. No leaks. The gun did a good job. The tip size (1.5) is a little to small for primer I am using (60 seconds on a #4 Zahn cup) so I thinned it with a little water. Flow, pattern and air pressure are all easy to adjust. I'm running 40 psi at the gun, 30 psi with the trigger pulled.5/28/2018 - Sanded the third and last coat of primer. Then pulled the trigger, so to speak, and shot the first coat of black. As the photo shows, it's not such a great job. No problem with the gun just a lack of experience on my part with this type of lacquer. I have shot gallons of the nitro lacquer back in the 70's and 80's. This is a water based, acrylic lacquer and it's a cat of a different color. The manufacturer says this product does not need to be thinned but I have to disagree. I tried different gun settings but nothing looked very good. Next coat I'm gonna thin it with water until I get a nice flow. Tomorrow I will sand with 400 grit and shoot a second coat.5/30/2018 - Yesterday I sanded off most of the first coat of lacquer and shot another coat of thinned lacquer. Made a huge difference. The paint came out much better and flowed much smoother. This morning I did a light sanding to get out bugs and dirt and shot a second coat. The gun did a great job with the thinned paint. I'm gonna do a third and final coat tomorrow, let dry, sand and start on the clear coats.This gun rusts very easily. After each use I take the gun apart and clean everything with soap and water. Reassemble and shoot clean water through it then leave it upside down to dry. I've noticed rust developing in the cup and inside the gun. Now I spray an ounce or so of denatured alcohol through. The alcohol blows out most of the water in the gun and then evaporates quickly leaving the gun nice and dry. This seems to have cured the rust problem.6/2/2018 - Ran into a problem. Not with the gun but with the counter top. The seam is visible where I joined the two pieces. I'm going to sand that portion down and fill in the seam. It didn't show up with the primer, but after sanding the color coat I could see a faint line. This would really show up after the clear is put on.The gun - Still rusts despite the steps I have taken to prevent it. I live in the South and it stays humid here. Today the humidity is 85%. I think this is causing the rust and I don't know how to prevent it. Good thing I'm not planning on using this gun after this project.6/17/2018 - Finished!! I am very pleased with the countertops and the performance of the gun. It is not the best gun on the market but it's not the worst either. For the occasional use it it is a good gun and I would buy it again.
