How much of a mess does this make? In my past experience with paint sprayers paint tends to get in the air and I'd end up with "paint dust" all over.

It's a huge mess. I tried everything to get this sprayer to work. I was going to return it, but I waited to long. Now it's just sittling on my shelf collecting dust. Total waste of money.

It sprayed everywhere! I spent three hours taping everything off and it blew so fiercely it just blew all the plasti and tape away. Plus it just continually leaks out of the nozzle when the trigger is not engaged. It was such a huge mess!

The compressor runs good but paint does splatter a little I bought a quick release with pressure adjuster for $2 , but could also be paint clogging , gonna try thinning paint or filtering it with like some kinda pantyhose material

Sorry to say, I have had nothing but trouble with this model.It clogged no matter what I feed through it. I wasted time and paint.It's cheaper, in the log run, to get a better quality sprayer.

I have not had any trouble with the pump spray but I prefer putting it on with a dusting rag. Sorry, I could not help with the pump spray.

I use a clean spray bottle that had a spray cleaner in it. Make sure it's clean.

I read instructions on the can, nothing mention about using brush to paintI was used with air sprayer .This liquid very thin ( like.... water, solvent)

Don't use it on car paint. I've done it and it ended up taking off top coat and crackling the paint in spots.

I just sprayed my 240Sx with an airless sprayer. It went very well!!! It put the produce down well with a really smooth texture from a 311 tip. It does waste a bit of product. There is some in the line, pump and pickup. Cleanup must be done immediately and uses a lot of thinner to clean it all out.

I have not had a problem yet with the sprayer, but do empty the cleaning solution.

I use it liberally and it looks like I will get around 12-15 washes out of a gallon(full size car). I use the Chemical Guys Atomizer and it doesn't mist the product very well, because of this I use more product. If I could mist the product to cover the paint more efficiently I would use less and yield more washes(maybe the hand held sprayer that chemical guys sells is better). I dilute the solution with distilled water. I just eyeball the color and consistency, if i were to put a number to it I would say 1 part water for every 2 parts ecowash RU. If you use it straight it's a little to viscous and feels too abrasive on the paint. I only use this to keep the car clean in between washes.

The cleanup is not bad if you do it immediately after spraying. All texture guns are messy to clean due to the very nature of the product they are spraying. Separate the gun from the hopper and wash it with a spray, using a brush to knock loose any dried material.

I agree with Laura. However, the only time I've had the little dots is when I applied to much. This is the best product there is and use it to first CLEAN, like she mentioned, and then apply a coat of wax. The tacky part, I've never experienced. I could imagine a situation though where there was another product already on there - not newly applied, I mean still on the paint. This is polish - it moves paint, is how I like to think of it.

I have a jar filled with distilled water ready for when I am done painting. I attach it immediately, and spray until it comes out clear. Then I take it apart, and clean it gently. It isn't any worse than cleaning a paint brush.

I haven't noticed a paint problem. but then I've used it only a few times so far. if it happens, I will pitch a bitch.

After "losing" several pans to stick residue, I decided to use a mist sprayer filled with olive oil. So far no problems, but I don't know if there will be long term problems. Somehow, I've never bought into the "no spray cooking" theory.

Cheesecloth works best, I think. Clean sprayer right after with soapy water ;)

I've heard spray paint melts foam, I painted this product with acrylic & it worked okay. It's definitely delicate (scratch the surface accidently and the paint comes off)
