User questions & answers

Question:	We aren't Pros,but we would appreciate any advice on what sprayer to purchase for people 70 yrs of age. Hubby will pass on to our son. Thank you very
Answer:	The Fuji Semi-pro 2 would be a very good choice. I am 72 years old and appreciate the Fuji's fairly lite weight and compact turbine. The gun and whip hose are easy for me to handle. I chose the gravity gun and appreciate its comfortable center of gravity in my hand. It is easy to manipulate around corners and tight spaces. You didn't mention the type of material you will be spraying thru the gun. The Semi-Pro gives best performance with water-borne and solvent-borne finishes. It isn't really made for heavier finishes including latex and other paints. I have been very pleased with the nice buttery finish the Semi-Pro applies. I hope this helps with your decision. Good luck.Larry King
Question:	Where will I be able to purchase other needles and caps when needed
Answer:	Search "Fuji 7020". It will come up with 6 cap/needle sets
Question:	does this unit create any over spray compared to hvlp gravity feed gun used with a air compressor
Answer:	There's relatively NO overspray! I've been using an hvlp gun with and air comp. for years, over spray everywhere!! I had to cover the whole work area! But with the Fuji it's great, (I finish and paint cabinets for a living) all I had to cover is about two feet of the wall and floor and spray and in the next room my customer is reading the paper, with no disturbance of over spray. WOW!! I love Fuji!!
Question:	Can you spray automotive acrylic and urethane based paints
Answer:	When spraying automotive finishes, we would recommend use of a 4 or 5-stage system to provide the power necessary to atomize high viscosity primers and allow for optimal atomization.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work to paint wood furniture? Or is it too big
Answer:	No air compressor is needed. It is electric powered, not air.
Question:	Can you leave water base urethane in the unit for multiple coats or do you have to clean it after every coat while the finish is drying (12 hrs
Answer:	The base unit has a blower or low-pressure compressor built in, no external compressor required. Make sure the base is sitting where it will pull in clean air, no dust or debris.
Question:	can you use a primer+latex paint without thinning
Answer:	Yes. Cleaning oil-based primer took forever to clean because you must use mineral spirits and be sure to get every bit of it off the interior parts. Cleaning latex-based primer and paint out of the sprayer with soapy water was much easier but still time-consuming, especially since I tried to get every bit of primer/paint off the outside of the sprayer and pump in case I want to sell it if we ever finish the kitchen-painting project. I am an almost elderly homemaker, amateur painter, and I was able to use it successfully.
Question:	What's the difference between this and the wagner 0518080 control spray max hvlp sprayer
Answer:	I have. The turbine has similar specs (i.e. correct pressure and airflow) to some other HVLP spray tanning systems; however, for me the cup size was too large and spray pattern on the included nozzle made it difficult to not overspray. I purchased a wagner "spray tan cartridge attatchment" aka "Wagner Detail Front End Kit" (ASIN B00FDZDO32). It works ok but the cup size is still fairly large and tended to overspray . I have since replaced that gun with a "Maxi-Mist Spray Tanning Gun Replacement Lightweight" ($35 on ebay) and am happy with the results even though I had to adapt the hose to fit. Maxi-mist's MaxiMist™ Evolution TNT Spray Tanning System looks like the wagner painted all black and I wonder if the front end gun ($50) is compatible. I don't use this professionally but can say its works, especially with a purpose made gun. I got best results with the pressure set just above minimum.

Product description

The Q5 PLATINUM is the most powerful Fuji Spray system. This 5-stage turbine motor develops approximately 9 5 psi. The additional power allows the user to apply their finish faster and with less time spent on preparation of materials. Incorporated into its design is a proprietary Heat Dissipation Chamber (HDC). The HDC expels excess heat from the turbine, resulting in much cooler operating temperatures. Less heat translates to longer motor life for your turbine. Supplied with the Fuji T-70 non-bleed spray gun with pattern control knob - the fan size is adjustable from small to large, and everything in between (fully incremental). The benefit of non-bleed is that air only passes through the spray gun when the trigger is pulled, resulting in less blowing around of shop dust and less paint buildup on the tip of the fluid nozzle. Obtain a professional finish with all known coatings. The Fuji T-70 is also equipped with a 1Qt bottom feed cup. The standard air cap set is the general purpose #3 (1 3mm) for fine finishing with lacquers, enamels, polyurethanes, latex, water based coatings and more. Easy to maintain. Perfect for professional or beginner. This is an industrial-rated machine at an unbeatable price. Heavy-duty metal case with gun holder. Portable and powerful. Complete system includes the Q5 PLATINUM turbine, T-Model spray gun with 1Qt cup, 25ft hose with quick-connect, air control valve, user manual, viscosity cup, wrench, cleaning brush and the 5-for-5 bonus kit; consisting of a 6' whip hose, wet film gauge, 19-pc spray gun cleaning & maintenance kit with lubricant, extra turbine filter and "Always Measure" booklet - record your material preparation and results. This unit is for North American 120V plug only. For 220V capacity please contact Fuji Spray directly.

User questions & answers

Question:	How water proof is the machine? Would it survive getting caught in a rain shower
Answer:	Although I haven’t been caught in a rainstorm yet, It seems really well sealed. If you get caught in a rainstorm I would just lean a small piece of plywood up against it because she’ll the water it’s a great sprayer!
Question:	Have ordered a Q5 and waiting for delivery. Wanting to purchase an overspray sleeve. What is the widest diameter of the hose/connectors
Answer:	Hoses use standard 3/4" garden hose thread fittings.
Question:	The Q5 pits out 9.5 psi, but the mini mite 4 puts out 9 psi. Is the .5 psi difference (and noise reduction) really worth the $574 difference
Answer:	Although the difference in psi is slight, it still allows for superior atomization, and faster application speed. Note that the Q5 is equipped with a variable speed control knob on the turbine to adjust air flow with greater accuracy; the Q4 is not equipped with this feature. Lastly, keep in mind that all Fuji Spray 5-stage systems are equipped with the bonus 5-for-5 accessory package which includes popular accessories such as a whip hose, a cleaning kit, and spare filter(s) to name a few.
Question:	How much 110V wattage is required to power it
Answer:	Mine is hooked up to a 20 amp circuit

User questions & answers

Question:	can you use different spray guns
Answer:	The Mini-Mite 4 can be used with all other Fuji Spray turbine-driven spray guns, and most other spray guns designed for turbine use. Note however, that turbines use 3/4" hose fittings, and are not compatible with compressor spray guns that use smaller air hoses.
Question:	Does this come with an air cap set? Doesn't really specify in the item description
Answer:	Yes comes standard with a 1.3 needle/nozzle/cap set. I have all of the other sets available as well. Scott
Question:	Is this works to refinishing a tub
Answer:	Yes, this spray system can be used for bath tub and counter top resurfacing applications. Most resurfacing products are best sprayed using a 1.3mm or 1.5mm air cap set. In the event you plan to spray fleck coatings, you will require a 1.8mm air cap set.
Question:	Hello, tried clear coat and leaked thru needle and nozzle. How do you fix this?(thinned
Answer:	Refer to page 16 of the owner’s manual. If you don’t have one, you can find it online. Your packing nut is too tight, and won’t let the needle seat. You can see the packing nut between the trigger and the nozzle body. You should have the wrench that came with the system. One of the notches is for the packing nut. Back the nut off less than 1/8th of a turn and try that. If you still have a leak, back it off a tiny bit more. Test with water in the cup.Always use a little of the supplied oil (machine oil) on the needle to lubricate the packing nut. Do that every time you clean the gun. Hope this helps. Larry King

User questions & answers

Question:	Where was it made
Answer:	Fuji Spray systems are made in Canada.
Question:	How much better is this unit than the Semi-Pro 2...about 200-300 less.? Thanks
Answer:	I was going to buy the Semi-pro 2 but jumped to the Mini-mite 3 because it comes with the T series gun, same as Fuji's high-end sprayers, while the Semi-pro 2 comes with their M series gun. I've never used the Semi-pro 2, but I'm getting fantastic results from the 3 and I think the additional power and the better gun were worth the extra money.
Question:	My gun is shot. the turbine is fine. can i buy just a replacement gun or is it covered under warranty? i purchased my unit oct
Answer:	Check with the manufacturer on Warranty, yes you can buy a new gun, and yes you can buy a rebuild kit for your gun. Scott at VMTW
Question:	Is it a special delivery
Answer:	My system was not a special delivery. it did not require a signature.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will this work with a 3 stage turbinaire unit? 5 psi max
Answer:	I supose you very well could, wouldn't recommend since there's 8 individual 26AMW wires in the cat after you peel the jacket off and not worth the effort and time imo
Question:	Where do you get replacement strainers for this thing? i think it’s fuji spray part number 9044 but i cannot find anyone who sells them
Answer:	first strip the wire end ,then loosen all wheels ,put in wire, adjust bottom wheel, then adjust side wheels .try to adjust wheels so there is the least gap ..once you master this .this item works wonderful ,I have stripped tons of wires with no problem
Question:	Can you use the 3m cps system
Answer:	I have found when the wire is so small, it just does not pay to spend the time to strip it. But if you want to do it cut the lengths shorter then with larger diameter to guide it through the rollers more easily. Go slower!!!
Question:	Is the canister on this gun pressurized or just siphon? They picture doesn't show a second tube going to the back of the gun, like the gravity one
Answer:	Dear Customer,Thank you for contacting us. To answer your question, this will work for the wires you are trying to strip.Thanks

User questions & answers

Question:	Has anyone tried to spray automotive paint with this? i am looking to spray base and clear coats, and want to make sure this can atomize. thanks
Answer:	Dear Customer: Yes. The machine comes with blade installed inside. If you need more than one, please search for B01MZ7UT40. Regards, Beamnova
Question:	Can you use Titan spray guns with this compressor
Answer:	Yes
Question:	What gun does it have non bleed or bleed
Answer:	I’m gonna say nooo. The smaller the wire the harder it is to strip. I haven’t stripped anything smaller than #10 but I think it would do #12.
Question:	What is the nozzel size? This this good for Automotive work
Answer:	I tried it on 10 and 12 and it does not work good. to cut insulation good enough it cuts the wire also which leaves you with a bazillion super sharp tiny pieces of wire everywhere. But it does work excellent on 8 or 6awg when the copper gets a little bigger.

Answer:	no, and the gears are a bit loose. So you can do small gauge wire, like #14 and 12, but it has to be adjusted pretty often. Not very precise but workable
Question:	Is there an advantage with the gravity hvlp system vs the standard one
Answer:	have not done 2/0 but machine will open enough. should work.

For the best spray experience fine-finishing painting projects use Fuji Spray Q5 Platinum T75 Quiet HVLP Spray System. Considered the quietest operating turbine on the market today, the Q Platinum Series is the ultimate tool in terms of power and control allowing you to focus on what really matters - the quality of your work. The patented noise reduction technology coupled with the unique Heat Dissipation Chamber makes the Q-Series stand out in the industry. The Q5 Platinum Series features maximum psi/cfm adjustment for perfect coating atomization and overspray reduction.

Q is for Quiet

While standard turbines may cause hearing lose over period of time, the Fiji Spray has reduced the turbine noise levels by over 50 percent. In fact, the Fuji Spray Quiet turbines are so quiet that the low hiss of air passing through the spray gun when the trigger is engaged is more noticeable than the turbine.

Heat Dissipation Chamber

Fuji Spray has designed a unique method of removing any heat build up from the turbine case. Excess heat is channeled to a Heat Dissipation Chamber located at the rear of the case. Since the hot air is dissipated evenly through an optimum surface area of 60 holes, there is no added hiss or loud whistling noise. There is also no blowing around of debris.
