Paint Sprayer

I am a DIY guy painting my house, and I needed something other than the paint roller and brush to speed up the job. I usually rent an airless spray gun from the local hardware shop, but I decided to buy my own paint gun. Since I own a mini circular saw by HYCHIKA and like the tool, I got this HYCHIKA paint gun from Amazon. The Amazon webpage for the product does not mention that it is all made out of plastic except the fan motor. I have never seen a paint spray gun quite like this. It is not an airless spray gun but blows air with a built-in fan. I did not realize what HVLP meant on the webpage, but I know now. It means "High (air) Volume, Low Pressure," which refers to an air gun. My first impression was that it felt and looked like a toy because of the plastic and the color of the gun, but it's got all the controls like the professional spray guns. It comes with 4 different spray nozzles for different paint viscosities. The gun is rather big to hold in your hand but does not weigh much. The paint can is big enough to cover a good-sized area without refilling the gun frequently. However, the paint viscosity cup to gauge the paint viscosity is rather small for a one-gallon paint bucket to pour paint into, so it is advisable to use a ladle to transport the paint. When I first used the gun, I thought the gun was very loud. The fact that you are holding the fan motor blowing air at 30,000 RPM shouldn't be quiet. But it is not as loud as having an air compressor a few feet away from you or an airless spray gun. Despite it being made out of plastic, it works well. It's got built-in 3 different spat patterns. You can easily change the pattern in the middle of the job without using a tool. You must use the trigger to control the flow of the paint. The trigger feels bulky in my bare hand, but if you are wearing a glove, it will be just fine. I recommend you play with the trigger pull to get used to the paint flow. The airflow is constant; therefore, it is all up to the trigger pull to determine the paint density. If you pull the trigger all the way back, a lot of the paint comes out quickly, and the paint will run in no time. I made that mistake a few times on the job. I should have practiced before I used the gun. Cleaning the paint after the job was very straightforward. It's just that I am not used to cleaning plastic parts. So, don't use anything abrasive or solvents to clean the parts, just soap and water. Therefore, this gun is not made to use oil-based paints. The last thing I want to mention is that I don't know how long these plastic parts will last; only time will tell. So far, so good! After I have used the gun for a while, I will make further comments.

I have never used paint gun like this, I always painted with rollers and brushes. This stuff is awesome! Paints a lot faster and it’s so satisfying to watch the surface get covered with paint. It is a bit loud, but it makes sense to me because it is a powerful motor. As others have mentioned it is a bit heavy, but it makes sense since you are holding the motor and the paint in one hand. Im a small girl and it wasn’t too bad. Also, don’t fill up the canister all the way, a little bit of paint goes a long way. Super easy to clean and put together. I used it on kitchen cabinets and they came out amazing! I haven’t tried it on walls, but for cabinets its a must have!

Hychika Paint Sprayer arrived promptly and packaged nicely. Instruction for using were included however they lacked the nozzle use/descriptions so I printed from the Amazon page where I selected the sprayer. I used the blue nozzle with a latex stain on the sides of a deck. It performed great and is a real time saver. Clean up of the latex stain was simple. I would like to see a cap for the paint container so that you could stop, clean the nozzles and sprayer, put a cap on the paint container and continue with a project a few days later without having to empty the paint container and start over. My main issue with the sprayer is that it is loud. I have never used a sprayer before and maybe this is standard but where I was using in a close community it was an attention grabber. I do recommend the sprayer and think it will be greatly beneficial when spraying items with hard to reach places and where you do not want brush marks.

I needed to get good paint coverage in hard to reach places and this paint sprayer worked great. I was painting the side louvers to a evaporative cooler, which are prone to rust. This spray painter did a nice job and saved a ton of time and work. It was easy to clean also. Highly recommended!

I want to update my feedback. Even though I had some issues this sprayer works great. It sprays really nice, leaves a really nice surface when done spraying. Really easy to clean up after and they're customer service is second to none. They took really good care of me and got me back up and running again quickly. Thank you for that!

This paint sprayer does not work well. I didn’t even get one used out of it. It clogs immediately. I spent so much time, wiping off the tip and using a little poker that they gave me to unclog it over and over again. The paint came out splotchy. Would not recommend.

As advertised. The YouTube videos of this doesn’t give it justice.

Works well but the instructions are if’y
