Preval paint sprayer, anybody tried one?

I've used them at a job I used to work at before I got laid off about 5-6 years ago.....

We used them for truck loading touch up.... I was the painter for HMC Corp. That made logging equipment and the machines, once loaded onto a flat bed truck AND scratches, nicks, you name it from handling, were sprayed over with a Preval sprayer with the colors I used Green and Yellow both custom HMC colors but anyway, they work GREAT, and as mentioned $5 - $6 bucks a whack for the refill sprayer. they won't do well on "large" jobs as the propellant freezes, BUT allow it to sit a few minutes at a time in the warm sun, and it will come back alive!

You mix your own paint, keep it thin, the more thin you can handle for spraying LIGHT coats and prevent any sags or runs, the better, the sprayer will cog if the paint isn't thin, OR is difficult to lift from the bottle to the nozzle! Which also pre-maturely uses up the propellant too!

Take a few passes with one with just thinner in it and spray a trash can outside or something to get the "feel". they do however work well! I keep a couple at home for just the case in need of one!
