It's an outstanding machine.


HOWEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whether you have sprayed before or not, NO HVLP system, for that matter NO
method of applying finish, is a magic carpet to the perfect finish. It will
deliver a finish as perfect as you are capable of and commensurate with the
effort you put into it.

It will operate much quieter then any other HVLP system, more efficiently
(in terms of material used, 85% + transfer rate) then a conventional system
(35% transfer rate) but not as efficiently as a brush (100% transfer rate),
but, then again it is much faster then a brush.

Last but not least, unless you have a dedicated spraying room you will
probably find that once the novelty has worn off and unless it is a large or
complicated job you will, more often then not, defer back to brushes and
rags rather then drag the system out, set it up, spray, then clean, then
pack it away again.

Note; I own two HVLP systems plus a compressor and conventional gun. My
mainstay is my Fuji Q4. I like spraying over any other method of applying
finish, I love my Fuji, I do not send the above as a downer. I pass it on
only as a cautionary note against frustration caused by expecting more from
the equipment then can be expected. it's a tool and like any tool it has to
be used properly to give optimum results.


Have fun
