Product Description

With plenty of power for larger woodworking projects, this beefy power sprayer is designed for the professional woodworker. This unit comes complete with everything you need to spray. This soft-spray power painter feeds high volumes of material at low pressure through its spray gun for total control, no overspray, and no material waste. Specifically designed to spray light bodied materials, this HVLP sprayer uses air to control the shape and size of the spray pattern. Great for woodworking projects indoors and out, this sprayer is perfect for finishing large furniture, lattice, fences, painting metal and stucco. The unit sprays oil-based paints, stains, varnishes, sealers, enamels, latex paints, and more with 89 percent spray efficiency. A four-stage turbine means reliable performance for years of use. The gun features an all-metal design, and is isolated from the motor and filtered for a great finish. The nonbleeder gun means no more messes or drips to clean up. And, a 1.5-quart cup is the perfect size for common woodworking projects. --Brian D. Olson

How to Use a Paint Sprayer

Perfect Finish
 
Review Date: December 29, 2003
Reviewer: ,
I purchased the 2900 after reading reviews of different HVLP sprayers on the web. The 2900's younger brother the Wagner 2600 was rated the top "affordable" HVLP sprayer by Fine Woodworking magazine and other reviews were favorable for both the 2600 and 2900 so I decided on the 2900. I am giving this unit 5 stars based on the following criteria:

Fit & feel - The NBC gun is very light and comfortable in my hand. The hose is nice and flexible so I didn't have to fight it while working on my project. Also, the 25 foot hose gave me plenty of room to work. The gun isn't tiny, but I was able to easily spray the inside of a cabinet without banging into the sides.

Gun - You can set the NBC gun to spray in either a horizontal line, vertical line, or a circle. Also, you can change the size of the spray to spray from a 1/2 inch all the way to twelve inches. This is all done by easily adjusting the tip. I found myself continuously adjusting my spray pattern for the specific area of the project I was spraying. Also, as other reviews have mentioned, this is a non-bleeding gun. So air does not continuously spray out of the gun unless the trigger is pulled. I did not have any luck finding other non-bleeding HVLP guns in this price range.

Finish - So far I have only used this unit with Sherwin-Williams oil based paint. This is some thick stuff. I found that I needed to thin the paint a little to get the spray to really spread nicely. But once I got it right, the finish was smooth as glass. I couldn't believe how nice it looked. An even better suprise was that I only used half of a quart after giving my console table two coats of paint. Because there isn't a lot of overspray, you use far less paint than with other types of sprayers.

Price - When looking at my options, it came down to the Wagner 2900 at $579 or the Capspray CS9100 at $999. Both units are built by Wagner and both have four turbines. It turns out that the only difference between the two units is that the 2600 comes with the NBC gun and the CS9100 comes with the Maxum II gun. Otherwise the internal components are the same. The Maxum II gun has some small advantages over the NBC gun, but not worth the extra $420. There are some descent comparisons of the two guns at www.GleemPaint.com.

Overall - This is a great buy. Remember that you may need to make some adjustments with some of the thicker coatings, but it is worth it when you can spray a project with virtually no overspray and end up with a smooth as glass finish. Cleanup is a breeze since you only need to clean the gun (the hose contains nothing but air). Happy Spraying!

Great Sprayer

Reviewer: M. Hochberg, Gaithersburg, MD United States
The best thing about this sprayer that I don't think any of the others on the market have is a Non-bleeder gun. Most of the sprayers out there including the higher end ones like Fuji have bleeder guns which means the air is constantly passing through the gun even when you release the trigger. The Wagner gun on the other hand (which is a superb gun regardless) stops the flow of air when you release the trigger.

The turbines in all of the units as far as I can tell come from the same company so that becomes irrelevant when choosing which unit to buy.

best made

Like laying a sheet of finish on your project due to almost no overspray. infinately adjustable spray patterns. bought it because it was rated best hvlp sprayer in Fine Woodworking magazine -- and it delivered.
Nice Sprayer for the Price
 
Review Date: February 5, 2007
Reviewer: S. Guyon, Florence, SC
This sprayer does the job well. The trick to a good finish is thinning your paint to the proper level. Takes practice, but my oil base paint worked very well when thinned by about 20%. The gun has very good adjustment in both pattern control and fluid control. It does take a few tries to make adjustments on the fly for optimum spary quality. Be sure to order spare parts from Wagner (like spare gaskets for the gun and filters for the compressor). If you use good thinner, the gun cleans up easily. Be sure to spray WD40 or other lubricant on the gun and components to make sure no paint cures to the parts. Run plent of thinner through the gun. Again, I'm a 1st time user and feel the Wagner HVLP system works great. Glad I bought it. I remodel homes on the side and I feel my Wagner HVLP 2900 will get a lot of use. Wagner has a nice site for spare parts. I'd buy some spares ahead of time and don't wait until you are 1/2 way through a job when something breaks or needs replacing. Again, don't be afraid to thin you paint enough to get the performance you need.

House Painting: When and How to Do It

June 10, 2009 by Robert · Leave a Comment 

We all think we intuitively know how to do house painting. But, without proper information and preparation, nothing could be further from the truth. The reality is that there is a lot to know and learn in order to do the job right. Consider that there are professional house painters everywhere, and there's a reason for this. If it was all that easy, they wouldn't be in business. This isn't to suggest that doint it yourself is not worthy of consideration. Just be sure you know what you're doing. Read on for some more pointers.

House Painting - Home Interior and Exterior

It's easy to think of interior decorating as a low cost minor renovation to your home. Of course everyone thinks they know how to paint, and some do but most don't. There's a lot of little things (knowledge of paint, paint colors, types of wall paint whether it be acrylic paint or oil paint, brand of paint-preferably Benjamin Moore, ways to apply, etc. etc.)

Paint home - it's a good time to paint interior of your home when you start getting mildewy looking blemishes over the surfaces of your home. I have seen mildew on both inside and outside. And another good reason to paint is when your color starts fading. Peeling paint is even worse than color fade since no one knows really what the color was but they know it shouldn't be peeling.

Wall paint - this is where most people start painting, it gives you the biggest bang for the buck when you change the color of a room you have changed the looks of the room. And this is a part of interior decorating because the wall colors greatly affect the rooms atmosphere and can either in hands or take away from the furniture you put in there. And that would be part two of your interior decorating process choosing your furniture.

Interior decorators - if you're at a loss on choosing paint colors for the home interior you might want to consult with a interior decorator, you can show him the home interior and the rooms you would like to paint or decorate and the furnishings that you will be using and they can assist you in selecting the appropriate paint color.

Ultimately - it is your decision since this is your home what to do about your paint colors on your walls and trim and even your ceiling. But sometimes some outside opinions could spur some great ideas that you wish you would've thought of before.

From years of experience and working on hundreds of homes I see hundreds of great ideas on kitchens and washrooms and bedrooms. Too many to mention. For great ideas and how to do stuff ask me at:

Product Description

Take care of heavy-duty painting projects efficiently and easily with the Fuji Industrial Spray Equipment 3004 Q4 PRO Quiet 4-Stage HVLP Spray System. Featuring the Q4 Pro 4-stage turbine, the system delivers about 20 percent more PSI than the 3-stage turbine, allowing for less thinning of paints.


The Fuji Q4 PRO HVLP Turbine
Spray System offers:
  • Quiet but powerful 4-stage turbine.
  • Non-bleed spray gun for better efficiency and less air turbulence.
  • Durable, flexible hose--even when cool.
  • Two-year warranty.



The durable 25-foot hose stays flexible regardless of temperature.


The four-stage turbine is quiet to protect your ears. View larger.


The spraygun features a smart design for a cleaner spray pattern. View larger.


Aircaps are color-coded for convenience.
Includes Everything You Need--Just Add Paint
The Fuji Q4 PRO Spray System has everything you need--just add paint to get started. The system includes a turbine, spray gun with cup, 25-foot hose with quick-connect, air control valve, user manual, viscosity cup, wrench, and cleaning brush.

Powerful but Quiet 4-Stage Turbine
This spray system is equipped with the Fuji Q4 PRO QUIET turbine, which features the powerful Ametek-Lamb Electric 4-stage turbine motor type #119292. This innovative technology provides extra pressure, which results in less thinning of paint, making it easier to execute heavy-duty paint jobs more efficiently and effectively. Fuji has been able to reduce the noise level of the Q4 PRO QUIET turbine by over 50 percent, eliminating the need for ear protection and reducing worry about hearing loss.

Non-Bleed Spray Gun with High-Efficiency Aircap for Better Performance
The included Fuji XT-2 Spray gun is non-bleed, which means that air passes through the spray gun only when the trigger is pulled, so there is less paint build-up on the fluid nozzle tip, less blowing of shop dust, and less turbulence in the spray area.

The Aircap features a design that provides a cleaner spray pattern. The result is less overspray and mist in the air. You can purchase additional Aircaps, and different Aircaps are color-coded, so it is easy to select the one you need.

Save Time with the Conveniently Located Air Control Valve
While other spray systems include controls on the turbine, Fuji has installed the air control valve right at your fingertips, so you can quickly and easily reduce overspray and bounceback.

Hose Stays Flexible for Many Years
The included Fuji Hi-Flex hose is designed to stay flexible regardless of temperature for many years. If you've used the typical solid plastic hoses that come with most HVLP turbine systems, you'll really appreciate the maneuverability and ease-of-use of the Hi-Flex hose design.

The Fuji Q4 PRO HVLP Turbine Spray System is backed by a two-year parts and labor warranty.

What's in the Box
Q4 PRO QUIET turbine, spray gun with cup, 25-foot hose with quick connection, air control valve, viscosity cup, wrench, cleaning brush, user manual.

Product Details

  • 4-stage HVLP spray system; delivers approximately 7 psi
  • For quick, easy spraying of paints and latexes; effective noise reduction
  • Stainless steel fluid components
  • Includes turbine, 25-foot hose, spray gun, 1-quart cup, paint strainer, viscosity cup, cleaning brush, manual
