I bought this sprayer for a kitchen cabinet spray job to try out on a smaller kitchen we were painting. To my surprise it did a great job! The only issue I would say is that if you were spraying a bigger job you would be better off with a larger sprayer that you wouldn't have to keep filling with paint and priming... it left a nice finish in between sanding for a professional finish!
