High-volume low-pressure (HVLP) systems like the HV3500 work best in situations where you're applying a fine finish as opposed to a heavy coat of paint or varnish. In other words, you wouldn't want to use a system like this to paint your house-it would take forever. If you're working on smaller projects involving stains, polyurethane, or even thinned latex paints, however, HVLP is the way to go.With HVLP systems, turbine size plays a big role in determining how fine your paint mist will be. The HV3500 includes the HV3000 turbine, which gives you enough power (65 CFM/6 PSI) to deliver a fine mist and to allow you to get a heavier coat if necessary. The professional-grade spray gun is well-balanced and comfortable to use, and it can be attached to the hose at the rear or the bottom, depending on your preference. I had some trouble with running stain on practice runs, but soon got a feel for the best combination of air flow, movement, air-cap setting and proximity to the surface to get a nice, fine finish. This is a quality product from a respected manufacturer, and is a great option for providing fine finishes on smaller projects.--Josh Dettweiler What's in the Box
Turbine, gun, 25-foot air hose, stub hose and quick-connect fitting, wrench, viscosity stick, cleaning brush
Product Description
The system packages the HV30000 turbine with a professional spray gun for greater flexibility. The turbine provides more power than the HV2500 and HV2550 for use in commercial applications that utilize heavier coatings more often. The HV3500 is appropriate for lacquers, stains, enamels, and other solvent based materials with flash points higher than 99 degrees Fahrenheit, paints and solvents that contain hydrogenated hydrocarbons should not be used with this system, it can also spray latex and water borne coatings, some thinning may be required. System includes stub hose, 25 foot air hose, gun wrench, cleaning brush and viscosity stick, special fluid sets required: HV104520SV . 75mm, HV104521SV 1. 00mm (included), HV104522SV 1. 5mm, HV104523SV 2. 5mm (recommended for spraying Multi Spec and similar coatings).

 Plastic toy September 22, 2006

I bought this unit because if was CH's top end unit with professional high-end spray gun. I read the directions carefully and practiced taking it apart for cleaning. The Manual says "Extreme Duty", "Built to last"
The Material Adjustment Knob which is used to control the amount of paint that is sprayed must be removed each time you clean the spray gun. To re-install the knob you must use it to compress the needle spring, this takes about 20 lbs of pressure. Then you must carefully thread the soft plastic knob into the brass female thread while maintaining 20lbs pressure to compress the spring. It is pretty much impossible to do with out cross threading the plastic knob. Replacements are $16.49. I called tech support and waited 45 minutes on hold before hanging up. I tried their parts department to ask if they had a metal version of this knob. They said they did not know and could not help me. They insisted I talk to tech support. I tried again and gave up after 30 minutes on hold. I tried again later and got through in 15 minutes. They first said their top end spray gun had no plastic parts, but after some investigation (and argument) they agreed it was plastic and they could not offer any other options. I shipped the whole unit back. In additon, the spray cup had a 3 inch dent in it, but there was no damage to the box. The cup must have been dented before it was put in the box and shipped to me.

after using my 3500 on two tubs and tons of trim, the plastic material control knob is not an issue at all. works fine. the gun works fine. i have no issues at all. i would never spray anything big, like a deck or fence as that is the wrong tool for that job. Sprayers of any type don't work well on decks and fences anyway.
I spoke with Jason at the tech support line. For $16 you can order the aluminum replacement flow control knob, and depending if its new stock or old, there is a metal trigger pivot that might also be required to improve the gun.
here's the number. 888-900-4857, ext 201.
I like this gun a lot, but lot of practice is required to get the job done right. It seems that distance of the gun, speed at which you move the gun, how well your paint is thinned, and how much flow you are spraying all have to be reconciled to get the best results. It takes a bit of practice to zero in on it.
 Excellent product for the price. February 18, 2007

Do not take most of the others advice. Do not worry to much about the plastic parts. I bought this unit as a disposable unit. I needed something to paint fire sprinkler pipes that were installed in an old school. It was an inexpensive 3 stage unit. I used it hard and cleaned it dozens of times. NOT ONCE DID I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE PLASTIC PARTS. It really does not take a special sort of man to push in the spring while simultaneously turning the screw. I feel bad for these others guys women. As for overspray, all sprayers have some degree of overspray. This gun is not meant for spraying rooms as one reviewer suggested. Conventional sprayers (piston pump style) typically have a 50% overspray. With the HVLP units the overspray is greatly reduced. It is a good unit, especially for the money. I have had mine over a year, use it all the time, not once have I needed to modify or replace parts. You need to relax, use your tools appropriately, and mostly, take care with your tools guys.
Unusable until they make the flow control Knob out of brass or Aluminum January 4, 2007

I purchased the sprayer in Sept 2006. I read some other reviews stating that the material volume control knob was made out of nylon and was difficult to screw in into the gun. When I received the gun, this was the first thing I tried. And not to my surprise, it was almost impossible to screw it in straight since it pushes on a very firmm spring that pushes on the needle valve. I talked with customer service and they said they've been asking their engineering dept. to upgrade the knob from nylon to brass but they keep saying it's ok being nylon. I don't agree and believe the gun is totally useless with a nylon knob. Because I'm also a machinist, I ended up creating my own brass material control knob to fix the problem. (it seemed easier to fix the problem rather then packing it up and sending it back to Amazon) With my own brass, hand-made knob, the gun now works nicely. If you have your own machine shop, then you can make a very nice HVLP setup. Without a lathe, forget about this sprayer.

this hvlp works great with nitocellulose laquer. with water based laquer i get runs but it is my 1st try with water based laquer so my technique of spraying may need to be changed, overall it arrived quikly after my order and works wonderfully.
