I bought a gravity spray gun from Harbor Freight over 10 yrs ago to stain 3 shuttered doors. I buy my wife a potting table for Mothers Day recently and she doesn't like the color. So I go fish that gravity spray gun from the shed and watch RUclips videos spraying latex paint with my paint gun. My wife's potting table looks fantastic and good enough to eat hitting it with the color "Seaweed Salad". Now I'm all fired up and am lining up around 3 more painting projects. The gravity fed spray guns in my opinion are real easy to clean. Just sharing.
They're amazing if you have no idea how a true spray system is supposed to operate and finish. You can't afford to compare the two so the cheaper available option will suffice. But there's a MASSIVE gap between the two.
Hi Mike, great video. I have a couple of questions if I may. What size nozzle were you using and did you have to thin the paint(s) in any way? The finish looked great, but I get runs and suspect I am trying to setup as if I were doing auto paint. My gun is very similar with either a 1.4 or 1.7 tips. Thanks in advance.
The nozzle on the detail gun is a 1.4 and to answer your thinning question, the blue paint I didn’t think but I have had to thin white paint, not sure why but I just added a little bit of water to the cup of paint. Start small when thinning and add more as needed
I went on to the harbor freight website and I wasn't able to find that spray gun at all. Thay have about 20 different options, but not one that looks like yours...... weirdly enough.

That doesn't look like an HVLP gun?

It is a HVLP gun
You mean it doesn’t look like the 1 hvlp gun you used that one time
You must be responding to the wrong question my brother.@@Dylan-vv3gn
