3M Accuspray Spray Gun Kit HGP, 16587, Durable, Lightweight for Applying Medium-Heavy Coatings for Automotive Paint Application

This gun works well with gelcoat and with paints. Highly recommend. Saves countless hours of clean up too, even if saving the tips. So fast to clean!

I purchased this gun back in 9/18 and have painted over a thousand cabinet doors and pieces of furniture. It is still in excellent working condition. Most of that painting was accomplished using and old 20 gallon five horse compressor, undersized for this type of volume. I now have a sixty gallon commercial compressor and it works even better.I read some of the negative reviews and I dont get it. Other than if it came partially broken or similar. I spray latex Alkyds, and varnishes, and regular latex paint. And many types of primers as well. I also recently sprayed true oil paint through this. All the finishes come out looking like glass. And this is using a home made paint booth. It is honestly one of the best tools for the money I have ever purchased, and over the years I have bought around a 100 grand for my business in tools. So that is saying something. I just hope they dont quit making them. I am going to buy another one as a backup. I also use their other gun that does not have the pressure system, but I like this one better. Less overspray is the main reason I like this one better.Good luck, hope this one helps.

**THIS IS ONLY THE GUN, THERE IS NO CUP. Not sure what exactly makes it a kitOtherwise it's a great product.I had to purchase 2 different versions of it, find the right cup I wanted, plus disposable cups, tips and all that. The cup system can get a bit pricey, but so can cleaning out a regular paint gun. I would highly recommend watching the videos 3M puts out along with making sure you purchase the right extra tips and cups.

I have a Dewalt 4.5 gallon compressor, D55146, rated at 6.5 SCFM at 40 psi. So spec wise it doesn't meet the requirements of the gun, however, I've had no problems personally. I keep the spray pattern around 3 to 4 inches in size. After I make a pass covering about 70 inches in length, the compressor kicks on and stays running. I've only sprayed one cabinet door so far, doing one side at a time, Fine Paints of Europe Universal Primer, 1.8mm tip, thinned about 10% with water. So, if you're looking to move a quick pace and/or spray a lot of pieces at once, this might be a problem for you. But for someone like me it's good enough, especially because of the quick cleanup.

Perfect for my high viscosity water based products.Water clean up would not damage the seals.Limited usage of solvents it is also safe,I would not soak this in over night to clean.

Husband loves it. It works great

This gun for the price is a wonderful deal. Many professional painters are switching to this system for their equipment to do their job. Keep it clean and it will last for many years to come.

I had a drip coming from the stem, excess material would drip on the cabinet doors I was spraying. Not sure if it's something I'm doing wrong or something with the gun itself. Otherwise, super easy to clean and maintain!
