How good!!!!
Same as the one I got, very happy with it, easy to set up and use.
The default needle/nozzle is 0.3mm I'd swap it out for the 0.5mm needle/nozzle if you are painting bodies.
It provides a much smoother coat for flood fill.
Also adjust so lever only pulls back about 50% of entire travel for first two coats the all the way back for the third coat seems to work for me.
I haven't painted above the lowest setting on the pump (10PSI), haven't needed to.
One big thing I have learnt.
Clean, clean, clean.
Wipe bowl and cap clean with baby wipe dipped in 99% IPA
Pull needle out, wipe clean baby wipe dipped in 99% IPA.
Use smallest brush supplied to clean the throat again 99% IPA
Clean nozzle
Put together then flush with 99% IPA
Then take apart and clean again.
WEAR GLOVES, cleaning is a mucky job.
It is amazing how much residue still remains.
Takes longer to clean than to paint.
