Tools and Hardware Reviews of Fuji Industrial Spray Equipment 3003 Q3 PRO Quiet 3-Stage HVLP Spray System
Customer Review: High quality without an Air Tank
Summary: 4 Stars
I got the Fuji with the hopes of satisfying a large range of projects (and paint types). The Fuji's different nozzle sizes are very helpful for me. Lately, I have been refinishing a 33 foot boat. I have used thick exterior hull paints (epoxy) and thin interior finishes (varnish). It has taken some experimenting to get the right coverage. But, the more I use it the quicker I am able to dial into the right combo or air, value opening and nozzle size.
The compressor is amazingly quiet. My home vacuum is louder. Moving the compressor around (for the boat painting) was easy. It is light and can be set down on uneven ground. I do wish the power switch was a bit bigger or easier to hit. With gloves, mask and glasses on, I sometimes have to search for it while holding the sprayer level in my other hand. This too is getting easier with practice (ya, I know I could hang up the sprayer first, but when you are pushing to get something big painted without a crew, you give up some luxuries).
The spray unit seems to be well built. The spray trigger gives the same response every time which makes getting an even pattern only an operator issue.
Clean up is easy. Just about all surfaces are reachable with a rag so I haven't had too much buildup of crud in hard to reach places. The only 'trick' for my clean-up is getting the nozzle rebuilt with the spring pushing the locking-ball-washer out of alignment before you can screw the nozzle on. Just like the other elements, it is getting easier the more I do it.
I like my Fuji. I can't decide if the cost is good or just okay. But the turbine system is 100 times better than getting a bulky compressor, air tank, 220 volt electrical outlet and low portability pneumatic sprayer.
Customer Review: The Q3 Pro is a winner.
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently purchased a Fuji Q3 and it has certainly lived up to my expectations. As a professional painter I finish trim for new houses. I bought a Campbell-Hausfeld HVLP sprayer and it served me fine for small jobs. It was portable but incredibly loud and difficult to set a fine enough spray for varnish. Not so with the Fuji sprayer. I used it for 8 hours straight today and I couldn't be happier. It was easy to adjust the material and pattern and keep a fine enough particle spray to do an excellent job from door casing to full doors. The turbines are also so quiet that I could still hear the radio playing in the background with out having to turn it up. The gun is so light weight that even after a full day of spraying my hand and arm are not tired. I bought and fully recommend the 6 foot whip hose. When needing to manuver the gun into tight spaces or to follow the pattern on a six panel oak door it was nice that I didn't have to drag around the heavier hose. Over all this outfit is first rate and a joy to use. Fuji is to be commended for such a fine product.Customer Review: Great sprayer
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this for a small job I got building a book case and installing some oak doors. Although I have only used it to apply polyurathane. This sprayer saved me time and made me money. It is fairly quite and the hose can be somewhat difficult to work with. Overall this is a great product.
