I just bought one because of your review. I think it sprays quite nice. For the sticking trigger it is recommend to grease the brass part of the needle and the part where the spring sits. Not much, just a thin film after cleaning.
House painting: I have 2 purple guns think one is a little lower pressure and a 4oz. Still in the box. One of the larger drilled out to 2mm. So I dont have to thinn out the exterior paint so much.. happy it works. Using the un-drilled one for trim and doors. If you have doors to paint wow what a time saver and good job, no paterns to follow and tidying brush strokes! Kudos on all the notes great idea and practice.
might seem strange but the back part of the needle and spring needs some grease. This is a sata copy, sata even sells grease for parts on their guns, just make sure you don't get it into the fluid area. This is a copy of the old Sata jet from 1990
I'm new to painting with an HVLP gun and recently bought the same one from Amazon. I started with a 1.4 tip, attempting to spray some Rustoleum charcoal gray. Although the recommendation was to thin it at 5%, I found that it was still too thick. I increased the thinning to 10% and tried painting a small part, but the results were poor, with lots of spurting and severe orange peel. After watching numerous RUclips videos, I realized that most people spraying Rustoleum use a 3:1 ratio, so my paint was likely still too thick. I may have also been using too low a pressure. I'm considering returning the gun and buying a more expensive one, but I might just be setting it up incorrectly since others have had good results with it. Does anyone have any suggestions? Should I return it, or should I try adjusting the setup and do some more testing to get better results?
It sounds to me like you really need more experience using spray guns so I would keep practicing with what you have. I do not like the quality of this gun, the screws and squeeks, but it does spray as good as other cheaper guns. Plus you get to try the bigger tip, I'm experimenting with 1.7 cap and 1.4 needle / nozzle combo. try spraying on a cereal box or something with different ratios and vary how close you are spraying. practice!
3:24 that's a really smart idea to keep a record of your settings and examples. Thanks for the lesson & sharing
thank you!

I have not tried drilling out the nozzle yet, whatever works. They certainly are an effective tool.

thank you for sharing a great point which I did not know.
No one uses 1.7 and 2.0 tip for clear.. those are for primers
You cant change the nozzle on these. Bought 2 bit had to put them both in the bin as couldn't get nozzle loose
good gun that need some mods and will be a great gun, with regulator on aliexpress for 55 us. thanks for review.
i used this gun with 2.0 tip on primer ,worked awesome, but you do need a strong air compressor,
yes I recently realized it does use more air than some other cheap guns. I'm liking or respecting it more and more.
How did you loosen change the nozzle? Iv had to put 2 in the bin as I couldn't get loose
What kind of compressor you used?

If you were to choose between the harbor freight purple and this one for occasional use which would you go for
With a local HF I'd go purple gun. Price and seeing how good it sprays.
