Rockler HVLP Paint Sprayer Review

Tricks, Ratschläge, Online, Reparieren, Landwirtschaft, Landwirtschaft Maschine

1. I have one of these and used it to paint some panels on my car. Worked great! Just wanted to add that It can also be cleaned by simply spraying whatever thinner is appropriate to the paint until it sprays clear.
2. can you compare this to GRACO Spraystation 2900 HV2900
3. Praise the gods! Thank you so much for this video.
4. Not to be a wise guy but..why put a velocity cup in the package and not explain how to use it to help the buyer? Do you know how to use it and could you demonstrate? Apparently I'm not the only one who cant seem to get the paint right.. And yes I used your link to buy this..
5. Is this appropriate for larger jobs such as ceilings and walls?
6. Someone mentioned on another site that it would be a good idea to get multiple guns to use for different materials.  Can other guns be hooked up to this machine?  I can't seem to find where to purchase guns for this machine alone.  thanks
7. Exactly how thin do you want the paint? I've used this little sprayer about 3 times to paint a few cars and I can't seem to get it to stop splattering and making my finished product look not so good. I mean after I wet sand and polish it looks better, but I shouldn't have to be putting this much work in after shooting the paint. Whats the secret?
8. Your work looks great! Mine, not so much. I get splatter(orange peel) even when practicing with water. What am I doing wrong?
9. Thanks!
10. Great video. A few questions: 1) Which sprays a wider pattern, the Flexio 890 or the Rockler/HF, like for painting many walls quickly? 2) Will any one of the above spray Plastidip or similar? 3) Have you tested the Earlex 5500 and GRACO Spraystation 2900 HV2900?
    
    I really like your honest reviews. Keep up the great work.
11. If you had to choose between this Rockler sprayer or the Wagner Flexio 890, which would you say would be just the all around better HVLP sprayer to use for repainting furniture pieces? 
12. I bought this unit from Harbor Freight last year to redo some furniture I had laying around. I couldn't be happier with the unit itself. It's the first HVLP system I've owned, and I've found the key to a great factory finish with this product is the correct viscosity, as I think the turbine is a little underpowered to atomize unthinned paint. Getting the viscosity correct takes more time than the actual painting/cleaning of the unit. When using oil I go about 60/40 paint/acetone and a dash of penetrol....Goes on smooth as glass and dries durable, but a pain in the butt to clean...As with any project, if your prep work isn't good, it'll show in the final product. 
13. Thank you very much for this review. I'm an artist who works in acrylic and  I want  to use it for the primer coat. I've looked at many other models, including some that are too expensive. I went to your website and again, thank you for your honest comments on how the Rockler was easier to clean than the Wagner model you tested.
14. What do you thin your paint with, so that it goes through the little cup there ?
15. Hey cool, go a head with this channel thax :) 
16. Looks nice. Added to my list for potential sprayers. If I did a video review of it I would probably do it spraying designs on my vehicle. :p I have had a project idea list for my van for a while now to add designs using stencils. :D I would use it for painting rooms though too since I want to change my office wall color.

17. Glad you took my challenge, this unit runs circles around Wagner sprayers in my opinion and can be had for less money at Harbor freight.
18. Looks like a really nice sprayer! Tim, is it a particular model sprayer? Did you purchase it at a local big box store or is it only available at the website or Amazon?  I did see a system on Amazon that is roughly $150, which had rave reviews. Is that the one you have?
