I bought this gun because I paint motorcycles parts only (fenders, gas tanks, fairings). I was hesitant because many people told me that a minigun was only good for repairs, but that is not true. I bought this gun with the 1.0 tip and it performed perfectly! Painting motorcycle parts is what this gun does perfectly. Im not sure what its capable of on bigger parts, but if you paint small parts like I do, then Its great for that. It lays the base and clear down perfectly with a glass smooth finish. Also, this gun has allowed me to save a bunch of money in product because of the small cup size and precision this gun allows. 1.0 is the correct tip size for automotive paint. The mini guns have totally different inner parts than normal size hvlp guns. The 1.4 regular hvlp is the same as the 1.0 mini hvlp as far as tip sizes go. If you are wanting a great gun that will save money in paint, allow better manueverability, control, and better finishes, then id strongly reccommend this gun.

Compares to guns at 3x price. Bought two, one for my son who paints professionally and one for myself. Nice gun ready out of the box. Uses little air. Painted the lower stripe on my Ranger pickup out in my driveway. Smooth as glass finish with single stage paint. Have not tried clear with the gun. My son says it's really good. He uses SATA's so he has the benchmark to compare it to.Paid 165.00 for two. Insane deal.

Great product. Used it on some plastic work on a Honda CT 110 I am restoring. It worked perfectly on the smaller parts that I am doing. The paint I used was a PPG product with the hardener. I was able to hold enough paint in the gun even with the smaller cup to do all of the parts at one time. (for each coat) Saved having to mix up a lot of paint at one time and waste a lot of it as I would have had to do with my larger guns. I highly recommend this gun.
