My bf dad has used them to shoot matte finished jobs with rustoleum grays and blacks and honestly they came out pretty solid especially for that quick budget diyer

I have a $10 Green Spray Gun from Harbor Freight, that I bought 20 years ago. It's been great. I have shot primer and paint. Can't complain. It still works.

Thank you for talking about things we want to actually know about the tool and not a bunch of bs I appreciate it

It is amazing that they can produce a $25 gun that puts out those kind of results even on a limited basis.

I bought this gun a year ago , your correct it must be cleaned first ! And I found when painting anything large like a pickup you can’t use the disposable cup system , it wants a vented top on the cup . I found it would chug when walking it down the bed of a truck . When I put the factory cup back on , no vent cap , it worked stellar ! U-pol clear worked great in the gun , I haven’t used speedcoat brand as of yet . But I’m sure it would work great . Hope you try it with the vented top cup .

I don't know anything about spray guns, but this review makes sense

This gun loves lacquer paint , aka dupli-color paint I’ve painted a f250 complete job , a vw , a mini truck, yes the green finish came off but it still is rocking the paint ,and yes you are correct you must over reduce the clear , and it doesn’t like the disposable cup system , it flows better with a vented cup . Ten times better than the purple gun . For the price money well spent .

Thank you.

I bought this gun to spray clear coat on a replacement bumper cover. I cleaned the gun before spraying 2 coats of clear then disassembled the gun and cleaned it again. The next morning I sprayed 2 more coats of clear after a little wet sanding. After finishing I again go to clean the gun and after 1 night the inner nozzle piece that screws into the gun body already has rust in it. Sad cause I've had thier smaller detailing gun for months and never had an issue. So the moral of my story is You get what you pay for. Sprayed nice but made cheaply and won't last more than a job or two.

Thanks for the review. Looked like it came out pretty decent. I think all the HF stuff is def worth trying out...over trying to rattle can a car for the beginner.

The good: that gun sprays well. But you have to crank the fluid nozzle off to clean it's not even worth it. The bad: the threads for the fluid adjustment knob is a piece of threaded plastic. If you're spraying very little maybe a few times a year go for it.

Peopke talk mad sh*t about the purple gun and say stupid things like you cant use it to prime with. Let me assure you it's all lies and propaganda. I've owned tge purple gun for over a year and have primed with it 3-5 times a week on a normal week and sometimes up to 10 times. I've put 200 cups of primer through that gun easily. You absolutely have to clean it THOROUGHLY after each cup, but it will spray 2k primer Straight Out of the Box and it does a good job at it. I'm only just now having issues with it which is why I just bought its green cousin. I actually used the purple gun and cleaned it so many times that I wore every bit of purple off of it. If the green one only lasts me 20 times as you said I'm gonna be pissed
