AEROPRO Tools R500 LVLP Air Spray Gun,Professional Automotive Paint Sprayer

This review is for the A610 not the D500. After painting for the past 15 years with the 3M Accuspray gun I started looking for a new gun. Searched for awhile then I saw ads for the Drizzle LVLP. I was interested in that style for the minimal overspray and less product waste. So I swatched around and came across the A610. Had better reviews and I liked what I saw in the videos people posted. Plus it was 30$ cheaper than the drizzle. So I bought it. Been using it for a couple weeks now. Definitely a learning curve when starting out. It sprays very heavy compared to what I was used to. If you open the flow too far it is very easy to run clear coat. Even with trigger control. I learned you want to run it a little higher pressure at the gun tip and only a couple turns on the flow. Sprays absolutely beautifully. Glass every time. Love it. Worth every penny.

First time ever using an air spray gun and this one worked great for what I needed. I agree that the quality if the gun is very good. Solid metal nozzles and overall sturdy build. Bought it for one job painting the cedar shingles on the side of the garage. It did a good job with the narrow spaces between the shakes which would have otherwise been crazy difficult, messy, and time consuming with brushes. My pancake compressor worked well enough. I made sure to give the compressor breaks so it wouldn’t overheat. Even though the gun is low volume low pressure, I could see how any spray gun could wear out a smaller compressor with non stop usage. Taking my time to refill the gravity fed canister seemed to work well for compressor breaks. It was also really easy to clean. I really only bought for this one job and must say it was totally worth it, even if I never use it again.

I was honestly impressed with this spray gun. I bought it for automotive clear coat work, and it exceeded my expectations. The atomization is excellent, the spray pattern is consistent, and it lays down clear extremely smooth with very little overspray. It’s comfortable to hold, easy to adjust, and cleans up without any hassle. For the price, I don’t think there’s a better value on the market. Whether you’re a DIY painter or a professional looking for a dependable budget gun, I highly recommend it. I’d buy it again without hesitation.

This A-610 paint gun is a LVLP paint gun for automotive paint and the gun itself deserves 5+ stars. However, it is a packaged deal with an Oil/Water Separator and a pressure gauge. Unfortunately, the pressure gauge that I received was missing the screw cap for adjusting the gun pressure. I don't want to return the gun just because of a broken gauge but 1 don't want to spend $10.00 for a gauge that was received broken. These are the only options available thru Amazon. Thus, the reduction of Stars. Back to the gun itself- The fit and finish are excellent with the matt black coating makes it easy to clean. It has a very lightweight feel and is easy to hold and maneuver. Disassembly is easy to complete after the first time you remove the air nozzle (for some reason the factory is using a torque wrench to install them). Actually, this may be the easiest gun I have had to clean. It comes with all the tools and accessories necessary to clean the gun, the nozzles, the pin, and air caps. The 1.7 needle set was great for laying a smooth lay of primer/sealer straight out of the can. So far I have used the 1.3 nozzle/needle for a single-stage urethane, a base coat, and an epoxy. All laid down nicely. Now, keep in mind that this gun is an LVLP (low volume low pressure) gun and is completely different from the HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) system. If you are transitioning from the HVLP it will take a few tries to get the settings down. Low volume means that you need fewer CFMs of air to effectively operate the gun. The low pressure is a little confusing since I run this gun at a higher PSI than an HVLP gun. The reduced CFMs allow for the use of a smaller compressor, and reduced overspray. No matter how you slice it that is a $$$ savings. No matter what I will be keeping this gun ( or an Amazon Replacement). I just wish for the benefit of the seller that there was some way to get an adjustment cap and screw instead of returning the entire gun). This is the best entry-level level gun that I have purchased and comes close to some of the $250+ guns I have used.

Sprayed 3 coats of epoxy primer really well, laid down smooth and uses very little air. Heck of a deal for the price! Internals are comparable to my $400 Eastwood base/clear gun. Easy to clean and trigger feels great highly recommend!!

I've been spraying paint for 60 years, these spray guns are a lot of bang for the buck, as good as many of the high priced spray guns I've owned. They lay down paint as good as any other professional gun for a fraction of the price, it's a winner. As advertised this LVLP spray gun when paired to a small compressors all the way down to 20 gallon capacity, it will do a fantastic job. I personally found it to do an excellent job shooting Acrylic Urethane, lacquer, single stage, base coat, clear coat, and primers. For the price of this AeroPro R500 A610, purchase three of them, so you don't have to change spray nozzles, set one up for primer, one for base coat/Acrylic Urethane/ Clear Coat, you'll still pay less than one expensive Devilbiss gun. Don't believe all the negative hype that these AeroPro R500 A610 LVLP spray guns are junk, mechanically they're excellent quality and mechanically sound. I read one review that contained a complaint that the pressure regulator lens is plastic, fact is that it works, second as any old timer knows who's a bit creative, either purchase one with a glass lens, or simply make a paper flap to protect it from over spray, easier yet, wipe the thing off. You purchased a great spray gun for a great price with accessories. As always, it's the guy squeezing the trigger that's important, that comes with experience and time. I've read a few negative complaints about the AEROPRO R500-610, it was obvious from the complaints they more than likely originated from inexperienced users. Complaints that the spray gun tip could not be removed, possibly cross threaded. The fact is this complaint is not all that uncommon, over the years I've found a few spray gun tips that were excessively tight, generally the tip is not cross threaded, just over tightened during assembly, with the proper tools, experience, and patience you can get the tip loose without damaging the spray gun. Leaking spray guns, generally, during my 60 plus years of spray painting, I've found that a leaking spray gun is due to over pressure, water getting into the air line, improper cleaning. A leaking spray gun is a common problem amongst professionals and amateur sprayers alike. It’s often caused by the fluid nozzle becoming loose or dried paint blocking the needle, another words, cleanliness is an absolute must with spray guns. A leaking spray gun can also be caused by a damaged needle packing, this falls back to improper cleaning/maintenance, over pressure, etc.. Paint sputtering: this usually means that your nozzle simply isn’t on tight enough, or that the spray gun wasn't cleaned properly. Spray gun painting, especially automotive spray painting is an art that must be learned over time, most of these problems are caused by "cockpit error, not the equipment, far too many are too quick to blame the equipment. Number one, use only the proper solvents when cleaning, the wrong cleaning solutions can damage, or turn your spray gun into a useless piece of junk. Update: I purchased a second AeroPro A610 so I could have one gun setup for primers, and one for base, and clear coat and I purchased a 5 piece nozzle set to handle all types of paint and primer types. My only con is that in general, all these spray guns seem to focus on how pretty they are and have a slippery finish, the handles should have a textured surface, it's like that Glock pistol you own, you don't want it slipping around in your hand so you have complete control. Anyway, the AEROPRO 500-A610 IS A Winner.

I did a test piece with 3 coats of Gemini pre-cat lacquer, no sealer. It put out a better finish than my HF Black Widow HTE gun. I might buy another for tinted lacquer. I’m looking forward to using this on my next job (cabinetry, millwork, furniture)

Ita a great gun. used for base coat clear coat, with great results. Gun now leaks air behind trigger. Sent Esmail's to Aeropro Sales, and help department with no replies. A great gun, but you are screwed if you need help or parts.

A great spray gun for the price. Used the gun on a 1980 Camaro backyard garage restoration. Prepped the car with dry sand of 220, 320, and 400 grit. Used the 1.5 tip for the primer filler. Dry sanded with 600 grit. Used 1.3 tip for primer-sealer sanded with 600 grit wet and 800 grit wet. Used 1.3 tip for both jet black base and clear coat. I used a 20-gallon Porter & Cable air compressor with 25 PSI to the gun. Atomization was professional. The car turned out spectacular. Minimal, and I mean "minimal," orange peel on the clear coat. After a couple of weeks of curing, I wet sanded the entire clear coat with 1500, 2000, and 3000. The 2-foot by 2-foot section where I had some orange peel buffed out easily. Some polish and a wipe, and the car looks showroom. Friends think I had the car professionally done. Need to paint some more.

Recomendable muy buena calidad

My first paint gun, but seems to work well and I’ve had decent results. I’m painting parts but the finish is great. Seems pretty easy to dismantle and clean which is very important. Overall I’m happy as a beginner.

Die Aeropro R500 hat ihren ersten einsatz hinter sich und ich bin begeistert und habe nichts auszusetzen , sie macht was sie soll und wofür sie gemacht ist. Ich würde sie weiterempfehlen und auch nochmal kaufen ....

The price is the stand out here, offering 3 sizes of spray nozzle, 1.3 , 1.5 & 1.7mm. I have used the 1.7mm for applying primer at 23psi and 1.3mm for base colour coat and the spray gun is exceptional at both. Great product, at a great price! Paint Society on YouTube a great source of info!
