Hey guys and girls, NEWBIE here with his first post. I got back into spraying (for hobby) not long ago by buying one of those fairly cheep Asian ebay guns which has surprisingly done a great job for me until I started noticing possible needed maintenance issues with it recently. The issues include 1) gun leaks (drips fluids down the trigger not only causing a mess but potentially damaging a spray job), 2) although it's an HVLP the air control valve doesn't seam to want to control air flow like it was before, 3) fluids are sputtering out instead of spraying evenly. I know first reactions are going to be "You Get What You Pay For" or "Get a Real Gun" kind of stuff but this gun was doing a great job until recently. Keep in mind that immediately after each spray job I tear it down and clean it up with reducer or lacquer thinner really well. I'm a little concerned that maybe a little too well being I would think the leaking issue comes from a bad seal of some kind. Maybe the brush I use (which came with the gun) to clean it has damaged a seal or two because I stuck it in the wrong hole (that's what she said, sorry I couldn't resist that ; ) or something. Anyone have any constructive advise? Thanks! :bigokay:
