Pros & Cons
Pros
The ratings on the harbor freight site are excellent for the most part but there are some issues you might run in to. The gun is very responsive to all of the controls and sprays a very nice adjustable pattern. It comes with a fairly general 1.
Cons
The plastic on the plastic cup has started to peel out. Maybe all hvlp sprayers are super fussy like this.
This product is finicky. The air cap is of very cheap and thin stamped quality. I basically ruined it buy leaving the cup in a solvent over 2 nights.
The brass air diverter has a 10mm hex but even using a two foot long breaker bar i was not able to remove the part. Requires a special wrench for proper cleaning-not included.

This step usually is the longest and most tedious not with a spray gun

First off there is a leak that seems to be pretty common on the adapter part 35 for the paint hopper that screws into the gun body

I took a trip to the hardware store and picked up a 12 diameter by 18 thick nylon washer and reamed it out a bit to enlarge the center hole and installed it between the gun body and the adapter for the paint hopper

This fixed the leak and i dont know why the manufacturer continues to ignore this
