They say you only need 4 cfm to use it. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 502 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 502 | I don't know anything about it, but when it comes to a paint gun I like to hold it in my hand to see if it feels good.
What I mean is does it fit my hand, same as I do when I buy gloves.
Is this thing made in China.
If I WAS to order it I would want to be able to return it if I did not like it.
Just a couple thoughts, sorry I can't comment on how well it works.
Have they developed something that defies the laws of physics.
HVLP- High volume,Low pressure. 4 cfm is not much for volume.

He talked more about the color than the gun.
I thought the cup size was a little small for a whole vehicle, the rest of it was just his opinion. I would like to have seen the gun in operation.

A lot less overspray but I cannot attest to the 4cfm claim.
but you can't beat the price.
It's a little different than using a cup gun (which is all I have used for 25 years) but at least using AE the finish is superior.

Will it be good enough for large areas? Dont wanna hijack your thread but didnt want to start one on the same gun. Also, is $289 normal for a good gun? I`m new to painting...
