First use. My compact 6G pancake worked fine @ 3cfm with the included 1.3mm config. Dialed in an really smooth application with little effort. No leaks and it cleaned up quick and easy. Build quality and finish rival my more expensive equipment. Impressive results @ fantastic price. Includes everything you need to start spraying.

I've been spraying paint for 60 years, these spray guns are a lot of bang for the buck, as good as many of the high priced spray guns I've owned. They lay down paint as good as any other professional gun for a fraction of the price, it's a winner. As advertised this LVLP spray gun when paired to a small compressors all the way down to 20 gallon capacity, it will do a fantastic job. I personally found it to do an excellent job shooting Acrylic Urethane, lacquer, single stage, base coat, clear coat, and primers. For the price of this AeroPro R500 A610, purchase three of them, so you don't have to change spray nozzles, set one up for primer, one for base coat/Acrylic Urethane/ Clear Coat, you'll still pay less than one expensive Devilbiss gun. Don't believe all the negative hype that these AeroPro R500 A610 LVLP spray guns are junk, mechanically they're excellent quality and mechanically sound. I read one review that contained a complaint that the pressure regulator lens is plastic, fact is that it works, second as any old timer knows who's a bit creative, either purchase one with a glass lens, or simply make a paper flap to protect it from over spray, easier yet, wipe the thing off. You purchased a great spray gun for a great price with accessories. As always, it's the guy squeezing the trigger that's important, that comes with experience and time.I've read a few negative complaints about the AEROPRO R500-610, it was obvious from the complaints they more than likely originated from inexperienced users. Complaints that the spray gun tip could not be removed, possibly cross threaded. The fact is this complaint is not all that uncommon, over the years I've found a few spray gun tips that were excessively tight, generally the tip is not cross threaded, just over tightened during assembly, with the proper tools, experience, and patience you can get the tip loose without damaging the spray gun. Leaking spray guns, generally, during my 60 plus years of spray painting, I've found that a leaking spray gun is due to over pressure, water getting into the air line, improper cleaning. A leaking spray gun is a common problem amongst professionals and amateur sprayers alike. It’s often caused by the fluid nozzle becoming loose or dried paint blocking the needle, another words, cleanliness is an absolute must with spray guns. A leaking spray gun can also be caused by a damaged needle packing, this falls back to improper cleaning/maintenance, over pressure, etc.. Paint sputtering: this usually means that your nozzle simply isn’t on tight enough, or that the spray gun wasn't cleaned properly.Spray gun painting, especially automotive spray painting is an art that must be learned over time, most of these problems are caused by "cockpit error, not the equipment, far too many are too quick to blame the equipment. Number one, use only the proper solvents when cleaning, the wrong cleaning solutions can damage, or turn your spray gun into a useless piece of junk.Update: I purchased a second AeroPro A610 so I could have one gun setup for primers, and one for base, and clear coat and I purchased a 5 piece nozzle set to handle all types of paint and primer types. My only con is that in general, all these spray guns seem to focus on how pretty they are and have a slippery finish, the handles should have a textured surface, it's like that Glock pistol you own, you don't want it slipping around in your hand so you have complete control.Anyway, the AEROPRO 500-A610 IS A Winner.

Really easy to setup, use, and clean. This is more than adequate for indoor hobbyist or outdoor household painting applications like fences, decks, etc. I finish and refinish guitars as a hobby, I've already done a bass and a telecaster clone and will add pics once they're dry enough to buff out and polish.But make sure you pick up the disposable paint cup system--completely worth the extra cost. The default cup is relatively easy to clean, but also involves handling even more caustic chemicals, wearing bulky gloves and a rebreather, to clean it out. The disposable cup liner just gets tossed after you've used all the paint, or are finished with that material and ready to move on to another--big time savings and fewer gloves used (shop supply cost) and less time in the hot mask (operator comfort.)If you don't like disposable, you can also buy an extra of the plastic paint cups that come with it, and I've seen on the market a mini-cup for very small models. That way if you have more than one product to apply you don't have to stop to clean the cup halfway through.

This A-610 paint gun is a LVLP paint gun for automotive paint and the gun itself deserves 5+ stars. However, it is a packaged deal with an Oil/Water Separator and a pressure gauge. Unfortunately, the pressure gauge that I received was missing the screw cap for adjusting the gun pressure. I don't want to return the gun just because of a broken gauge but 1 don't want to spend $10.00 for a gauge that was received broken. These are the only options available thru Amazon. Thus, the reduction of Stars.Back to the gun itself- The fit and finish are excellent with the matt black coating makes it easy to clean. It has a very lightweight feel and is easy to hold and maneuver. Disassembly is easy to complete after the first time you remove the air nozzle (for some reason the factory is using a torque wrench to install them). Actually, this may be the easiest gun I have had to clean. It comes with all the tools and accessories necessary to clean the gun, the nozzles, the pin, and air caps.The 1.7 needle set was great for laying a smooth lay of primer/sealer straight out of the can. So far I have used the 1.3 nozzle/needle for a single-stage urethane, a base coat, and an epoxy. All laid down nicely.Now, keep in mind that this gun is an LVLP (low volume low pressure) gun and is completely different from the HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) system. If you are transitioning from the HVLP it will take a few tries to get the settings down. Low volume means that you need fewer CFMs of air to effectively operate the gun. The low pressure is a little confusing since I run this gun at a higher PSI than an HVLP gun. The reduced CFMs allow for the use of a smaller compressor, and reduced overspray. No matter how you slice it that is a $$$ savings.No matter what I will be keeping this gun ( or an Amazon Replacement). I just wish for the benefit of the seller that there was some way to get an adjustment cap and screw instead of returning the entire gun). This is the best entry-level level gun that I have purchased and comes close to some of the $250+ guns I have used.
