Graco-Sharpe 288878 HVLP FX3000 Paint Spray Gun, 1.0 mm

Overall, this is a pretty good gun for the money. The controls are very usable. The gun is very easy to break down for cleaning. The gun lays primers, base coats, and clear coats on very well. Assuming youve got the gun set up properly, you wont have any problem laying out metalic or pearl finishes. The manufacturer, did however, did cut one corner which is preventing me from rating higher. They include a black plastic cup lid. After a couple of times of occasional use, substances like acetone, automotive paint reducers, and other cleaners cause the lid to shrink and fit poorly. It doesnt keep a seal well and risks falling off during jobs. The replacement cups are about $7-$8 bucks a piece and do take some research to find. It is really quite short-sighted and stupid that they did this. Cheaper, lower quality DeVilbiss Finish Line paint guns provide this. Graco-Sharp would have been better providing the customer with an aluminum screw cap for the cup, or just including a non-shrinking plastic paint cup with a screw cap. I would have gladly paid an extra $10 for a better cap system.

This is a must have!
