Graco-Sharpe 289221 Mini-HVLP FX1000 Paint Spray Gun, 1.2 mm

This Sharpe is a great little gun, especially for the low price. It sprays well, and doesn't have a lot of plastic parts in it. Snap-on also makes a mini gun that is EXACTLY (I think they just slap their name on it) like this one for over $215! Compare the specs and pictures, they are the same gun. So, for a little over 100 dollars, that makes this gun a STEAL! I have worked in Autobody for about 10 years. I use this gun for spraying Jambs and for applying clear basecoat on blend panels. Works great, can't speak on how long they last because I haven't had mine for very long. I went with the 1.4 mm tip so that I could spray thicker viscosity material like Clear and Sealer through it.

tried several other jam guns in past, they had cheep rubber gaskets that only would last a couple of sprays .This one doesn't have that ,and has a great( wide) spray pattern at a great price.I spray bumpers and sides of cars with this and dont miss the larger guns at all. It only takes a few oz of cleaner to clean .I mix .5oz most of the time it saves in materials, pays for its self Fast ps. I am an auto painter for 28yrs

I have a mobile touchup company and I bought this gun as a back up and honestly don’t waste your money I have had gun spray better for cheaper. But I wanted a quality back up gun for my Sata minijet 3000b and this gun did not impress me one bit I got the 1.2 tip and the fan is about half of the length of my Sata minijet it just sprays a ton of product in one spot too quickly. I don’t know if it is because of the 1.2 tip or not but I have been looking for a 1.0 nozzle kit and it’s almost as much as the gun and I’m not one to put that kind of money into this gun. I really wish I would’ve spent that extra hundred dollars and bought an Iwata

Good value for the money, some of the finishing is not up to par with more expensive paint guns but that is to be expected. As noted in the pictures you can see some flaws in the internal finish, but don’t think that would effect performance. Also the finish on the air cap is subpar, but may or may not render in performance. Machining on parts is good tho :)

I ordered this spray gun for spraying waterbased polyacrylic finishes on wood. The performance is great and overall feel to this gun is 10 times better than anything you can find in a big home improvement center. It is also very easy to set the proper spray pattern. I would recommend this sprayer to anyone that is looking for a quality gun at a good price. I plan on buying another gun for other finishes I use.

Great gunfir the price. I have Sata Jets. Even though this gun is a step below that. The price for replacement parts for this gun makes it great. Don’t have to take a second moragage to but tips or rebuild kits. Great gun for weekend paint warrior’s.

The gun is very nice quality, great atomization. The only issue I have is that I know it’s a touch up gun but the cup is so small, you have to keep refilling it to finish anything.

Great fun for the price! I do wheel repair, and have used multiple detail guns. This by far is my favorite to use. It's easy to take apart and clean, and has a consistent spray pattern
