Fuji - Mini-Mite 4 - T75G (Rating: 5)
I'd like to give a quick review on my hunt for an HVLP system and my Fuji Spray Mini-Mite 4 experience.
First off I just want to say that I had no previous experience what so ever spraying post-catalyzed lacquer (or much of anything for that matter). I read every HVLP review I could find and watched every video on Youtube before I decided on the Mini-Mite 4. I don't remember what review I read (or watched) but I remember the comment that the more powerful turbines are more forgiving. I figured that without any experience I needed all the forgiveness I could get. Once I decided on Fuji (I couldn't find any bad review on Fuji) and the 4 stage compressor I really struggled with whether to buy the Q4 (quiet) or the mini-mite 4. For me, I decided that I'd save the 300 bux and wear some hearing protection if I found it too loud. I have to say that it's not that loud at all, especially when you consider that the turbine is sitting at the end of 25+ feet of air hose. I'd say it kind of sounds like a shopvac running in the distance (not too loud).
So getting down to the actual review of the equipment. It's awesome. Super easy to setup and really forgiving. All the adjustments are easy and effective. For my first project I was spraying some cabinets and doors (two coats of catalyzed primer and one coat of catalyzed lacquer finish). By the end of the primer application (around 1 hour of spraying) I think I had a pretty good handle on how to fine tune the gun to get the desired spray pattern and thickness. The doors I sprayed had a bead detail which required a very fine mist with a narrow pattern to get into the crevices. Then the main body of the door(s) required more product with a wide spray pattern. Adjusting the gun on the fly is so simple and intuitive.
I didn't want this to be a long review so I'll end with my overall impression:
The Fuji Spray Mini-Mite 4 with the T75G (gravity feed) gun is a great product. I am very happy with it and as a result I am way more likely to spray future projects rather that manual method I used in the past.
