Novice Experience

I purchased this spray gun to attempt my first-ever automotive paint job. I purchased it as an open item with missing parts for half price. Kudos to Sears's super-easy-to-use online parts ordering site (use P/N 919.155310) with complete parts list and diagram. I don't have any experience with other products... read full review »

You get what you pay for...

Not a bad gun for the price. Bought to use on first ever paint project. It was a learning experience. Gun cleaned up easily but impossible to completely break down. Just run thinner though it, soak the cap and cup and wipe down the gun. Not a lifetime tool. Regulator broke after about 10 spray/cleanings... read full review »

Craftsman HVLP Gravity Feed Spray Gun Reviews

I recently purchased the Craftsman HVLP Gravity Feed Spray Gun.  I am using the spray gun to spray clear catalyzed varnish on cherry wood.  The gun works great and has an in-line pressure adjustment to control the air pressure.  It seems like a good spray gun for the price.

Evaluation 15531

This gun has to be connected to at least 100 psi and regulated with the internal regulator, it does not work well on less than that. If the external regulator is used the internal must be maxed.

Primer gun

Gun works like a charm while spraying professional automotive primer but i would not use for anything else.

Throw Away Gun

Gun sprayed nice, however a complete breakdown for cleaning is not possible, as serviceable parts are thread locked into place and are impossible to remove without breakage. Do not purchase if you plan to use for ever - basically very minimum breakdown and then run some thinner though it. If gun starts to spray uneven or is clogged, throw it away!

Good Gun

Gun sprayed evenly with no sputtering. Easy to clean up w/ the plastic cup and can spray base coats and top coats w/ no trouble. Very good product and pleased w/ purchase

NOT A GOOD COMPRIMISE

THIS GUN SHOOTS TERRIBLE. MAYBE IST'S THE 1.5 FLUID TIP. IT'S TOO BIG FOR FINISHES AND TOO SMALL FOR PRIMERS. MAYBE IT'S THE WAY IT'S MADE. EITHER WAY, DOESN'T CUT IT.
