Tools and Hardware Reviews of Fuji 3004 Q4 PRO Quiet 4-Stage HVLP Spray System
Customer Review: Great product! Fantastic support and service!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had the Q4 system for about two years and am extremely please with the quality of the tool, the quietness of the system and the amazing support I have received from Paul Smith at Fuji and Roger Phelps at [...] from whom I bought the system.
I bought the Q4 based on web reviews, write-ups and word-of-mouth. Not being a professional finisher, I had/have plenty of finishing questions of which many are not addressed in books or online forums. Paul and Roger have been very polite and prompt in answering my questions via email and phone. I don't recall getting such great service from any other outfits in the past twenty years.
The following is some information that may help newbies like me reduce their learning curve when spraying latex (Benjamin Moore Impervo):
I don't do a lot of spraying so the easy-to-use Fuji system was right for me. That doesn't mean there isn't a learning curve. Being very picky about my finishing results, I found it desirable to do a fair amount of testing of various dilutions of my primary finish which is latex paint. Lately, I've been using Benjamin Moore's Impervo (satin). I have a "mock" spray booth set up in my garage (lots of plastic). Where I live in California, the temperatures now (late November) vary between 68-73 degrees once I have warmed the garage a bit with a heater and lights (make sure you have plenty of good lighting including a couple of low lights that will make it easy to see dust and other defects in the thing being finished. Humidity is at 20-40 percent. The needle/nozzle that works well for me is the number four (but I have also had good results with the number three needle/nozzle). The aircap is turned about one-quarter turn counterclockwise from closed and the fluid control is turned 1.5 turns cc from closed. The air flow is fully on and the mesh fluid filter is removed (though it would probably be okay to use it as my dilution). I use the vertical spray pattern as recommended. The doors that I've been painting recently are lying down horzizontally (rather than standing up vertically).
I dilute the paint in this ratio: 2 cups paint, 3 ounces distilled water and 3 ounces of XIM flowout solution (XIM was recommended by the BM dealer for Impervo (acrylic enamel) rather than Flotrol). Note, this dilution is a lot higher than recommended by Ben Moore as well as the documentation on the XIM bottle. Nonetheless, the viscosity is good, flowout is good and orange peel is not much of a problem though, having come close, I have yet to achieve a glass-smooth paint finish. Any suggestions are very welcome. The high dilution may work well for me due to the relatively low humidity level.
Prepping your object to be finished is more than half the job. Sanding to 220 grit is not good enough (for me) as the scratch marks are clearly visible through, at least, the first two or three relatively thin coats of paint. You will save time in the end by sanding to at least 320 grit if not 400 grit. Random orbital sanders will leave the telltale squirly marks if you don't hand sand them out to at least 320 grit or if you don't use a better finishing sander than the old Dewalt random orbital sand I use; which probably isn't a good example of a true finishing sander. But that's another issue.
Dust nibs in the finish seem to be an issue that every finisher must deal with. I have a minor problem with dust nibs despite having a good Jet air filter (AFS-100B) hanging from the garage ceiling and plastic all around for a make-shift spray booth. I tack cloth and lightly blow off dust prior to mixing my paint and again just before I paint. (I do a first blow-off before I mix the paint to allow for airborne particles to make it to the air filter.) If I see a large piece of dust in the just-sprayed paint, I quickly remove it with tweezers and let the paint flow out into the void left by the small tweezers. Dust nibs are gently sanded out between coats using 400 grit wet/dry sandpaper between coats. A vacuum hose is always in my non-sanding hand to suck up the sanding dust and to brush off the sandpaper to minimize "loading".
Cleaning the Fuji gun is very easy and fast. Compared to the new Apollo gun that I recently saw at a wood show (Nov. 2007), the Fuji XT gun is easier and faster to take apart. Take care of it and it will take care of you.
I hope some of this helps. Either way, you won't regret buying a Fuji sprayer!
Regards,
Andy Aronson
Description of Fuji 3004 Q4 PRO Quiet 4-Stage HVLP Spray System
The Q4 GOLD model turbine spray system is the quietest 4-stage HVLP turbine on the market. Using patented noise reduction, noise levels have been reduced to less than 50% of standard HVLP turbines. All other specifications are identical to the Mini-Mite 4 model. Now supplied with the new Fuji XPC non-bleed spray gun with pattern control knob - the fan is adjustable from small round to large and everything in between (Fully incremental). The new Fuji XPC spray gun is also non-bleed - air only passes through the spray gun when the trigger is pulled. The benefit is less blowing around of shop dust and less paint buildup on the tip of the fluid nozzle. The spray gun features a stay-cool nylon handle, stainless steel fluid passages and an external needle packing adjustment. Obtain a professional finish with all known coatings. The standard air cap set is the general purpose #4 for fine finishTake care of heavy-duty painting projects efficiently and easily with the Fuji Industrial Spray Equipment 3004 Q4 PRO Quiet 4-Stage HVLP Spray System. Featuring the Q4 Pro 4-stage turbine, the system delivers about 20 percent more PSI than the 3-stage turbine, allowing for less thinning of paints.

The Fuji Q4 PRO Spray System has everything you need--just add paint to get started. The system includes a turbine, spray gun with cup, 25-foot hose with quick-connect, air control valve, user manual, viscosity cup, wrench, and cleaning brush.
Powerful but Quiet 4-Stage Turbine
This spray system is equipped with the Fuji Q4 PRO QUIET turbine, which features the powerful Ametek-Lamb Electric 4-stage turbine motor type #119292. This innovative technology provides extra pressure, which results in less thinning of paint, making it easier to execute heavy-duty paint jobs more efficiently and effectively. Fuji has been able to reduce the noise level of the Q4 PRO QUIET turbine by over 50 percent, eliminating the need for ear protection and reducing worry about hearing loss.
Non-Bleed Spray Gun with High-Efficiency Aircap for Better Performance
The included Fuji XT-2 Spray gun is non-bleed, which means that air passes through the spray gun only when the trigger is pulled, so there is less paint build-up on the fluid nozzle tip, less blowing of shop dust, and less turbulence in the spray area.
The Aircap features a design that provides a cleaner spray pattern. The result is less overspray and mist in the air. You can purchase additional Aircaps, and different Aircaps are color-coded, so it is easy to select the one you need.
Save Time with the Conveniently Located Air Control Valve
While other spray systems include controls on the turbine, Fuji has installed the air control valve right at your fingertips, so you can quickly and easily reduce overspray and bounceback.
Hose Stays Flexible for Many Years
The included Fuji Hi-Flex hose is designed to stay flexible regardless of temperature for many years. If you've used the typical solid plastic hoses that come with most HVLP turbine systems, you'll really appreciate the maneuverability and ease-of-use of the Hi-Flex hose design.
The Fuji Q4 PRO HVLP Turbine Spray System is backed by a two-year parts and labor warranty.
