Unhappy Up....

... to $39.99 on-line to-day.

But our local store will honor the on-line price - better than around $60 in the store.

That's a lesson I learned very early on..... Always take a print out from the web with you to the store. It's usually less expensive and they'll honor the pricing.

Default How about this one?

I have the 94572 set with a big gun and small gun. http://www.harborfreightusa.com/usa/...bCategoryName=
The big gun seems to work way better than the small one. I'm pretty sure it is all about the nozzle size. Has anyone used these? Any hints or tips out there? Thanks.

Default Little gun works great too

Go to www.hotrodders.com and do a search on HVLP spray gun set up or something.

There you will find detailed instructions on setting the gun with the cigar shaped spry pattern..You do this before you spray each batch,...takes only a few seconds and it makes a big difference.

Set 45 psi at the gun with the trigger pulled...i.e set the pressure while the gun is flowing air.

Thin the paint down a little more than it says in the instructions...and make a few practice passes.

These guns work great!
