Preval 2 Pack

Nice product

I came across these a few years ago at Home Depot and I tried them on a few small things that I wanted to paint on my racecar and didn't want to drag out my paint guns and compressor. They're perfect for small jobs, but DO NOT expect professional results. you WILL get orange peel, so make sure that you plan ahead by adding extra material so that you can cut (wet sand) and buff later. My only negative is that they seem to be a little pricey for refills, it would be nice of they were a little cheaper.

Absolutely does not work with latex housepaint. I diluted it according to instructions (3:2 paint:water) and it would not spray at all. Just air coming out. Eventually I diluted it enough to get semi-reliable operation (works about 75% of the time) but I had to dilute paint with equal parts water. At that point, the paint was so thin that it ran and pooled. For brief periods, I was able to get it to work reasonably well, and then it did a good job. But it wouldn't spray for more that a few seconds at a time without clogging, unless I diluted the paint far too much. Works great with water. Might work well with stain or other thin liquids. Absolutely does not work with paint. A waste of money.

Bought it for the painters that work for me for touch up finishing on site when we don't want to lug around our full spray systems just to touch up. The guys told me it worked really great and could be used on smaller jobs alone. They were very happy.

Perfect for spraying thinned nitro lacquer. I used this for clear coat top finish on guitars and it worked very well, better than rattle cans and almost as good as spray guns. The power unit lasted for 6 topcoat of 1 guitar. I was able to drain leftover lacquer from 8 rattle cans to use with the Preval. I may stop using rattle cans since they lose pressure and waste product. I can also add thinner and retarder as desired which is impossible with rattle cans. Sure pro spray equipment is better but it's a hassle to maintain and clean not to mention the over spray.
