Astro EUROHV105 EuroPro Forged HVLP Spray Gun with 1.5mm Nozzle and Plastic Cup

Good

Bought this to replace the Porter Cable one I bought years ago I lost in a move. Never really worked as well. Gave it a shot with several different laquers but it never sprayed heavy enough even with the needle wide opeb

I bought this to replace my eastwood low-cfm usage spray gun, figuring it was a middle ground between the HF guns and the big money ones. My main concern with the EW gun was the sub-par fan height. This one puts out a nice full 8-10 tall fan when 8 away from the piece (compared to the eastwood that is more like a 5 fan) and you dont need to move at a crawling pace to get the material down. I use this with a 60 gallon compressor, with a regulator on the output set to 80psi, and I have the small 3m regulator available on amazon mounted to the gun set to around 22psi. The guns instructions say go 29psi but it feels way too high of pressure at 29psi. I also immediately upgraded the cup to the 1000mL titan aluminum cup off amazon (you need to extra import gun adapter too). With all those pieces, you get a very nice spray gun. I have so far used it to spray 2k urethane primer and single stage enamel. I am yet to find out if this 1.5mm tip will be good with clear coat.

Great fun for the price. I primarily spray liquid wraps and it has worked great for plasti-dip, Halo EFX, and even Autoflex if used correctly. Watch your psi, get a good regulator, order a few tip sizes and you will likely be surprised with what this gun can do.

Phenomenal clear gun. I retired a Sata Jet 5000 RP in favor of this gun.

Well i purchased this gun in December of 2016 and it was working great but now the gun has a problem where it wont stop spraying air from the cap and the gun is cleaned after every use. It looks like the poor quality needle is worn out. I guess you get what you pay for

Excelent...

Months later still impressed basecoat Pearls are perfect metallics are perfect clear is like glass Im very picky and this gun I have ZERO complaints even the overspray is not bad compared to others Ive tried and own between SATA iwata etc this gun holds its own actually its better then most major brands.. balanced light weight.. just PERFECT

I found the spray pattern disappointing.

This is well made and sprays well. Not cheap but moderate in price. I consider this the gun to buy if you aspire to learn how to paint by doing it. The HF cheap stuff will hold you back, but this is the starting point for semi-pro DIY guys who want to get better. If you paint a car or two here and there, I would recommend it.
