THERE IS NOTHING LIKE IT IN THE MARKET PLACE. Put 4 coats of gloss clear coat I bought from Advance Auto store, and it looks like brand new. I'm really pleased with the way it came out with the preval spray. You can also buy the power units separately when they get "spent" and keep using the same jar. Anyway sorry for the long post but I'm wanting to use these on an old Schwinn tandem frame and wanted to see if it would achieve good results and how many power units I have to go through. I asked my team leader if you can buy these retail and he said you can get them at Home Depot. However the mil spec paint I use is flat and I haven't used these bottles for anything else. You can apparently spray any kind of paint you want instead of doing "can jobs". I work on military vehicles for a defense contractor and I use these everyday at work and they're great for touch up and stenciling. The package they come in shows a bicycle (an old Cannondale mtn bike) that was painted red but I don't know if that was the whole frame or just parts and/or touch-up. For those who are unfamiliar with these things, a "Preval" (that's the brand name) bottle is simply a small glass jar with an aerosol "power unit" screwed to the top. I know the subject of painting has been beaten to death here on the forums, but I was wondering if anybody here used a "Preval" bottle to paint a frame. In addition to the right respirator, Tyvec hooded suites and good gloves are cheap compared to the alternative.
#PRESSURE CONTROL ASSEMBLY FOR ALL PRO PAINT SPRAYER SKIN#
It's not just what you breath, but keeping it off your skin as well. Also, as mentioned before, some of these modern paints are terribly toxic. I keep one on the shelf for touch-up stuff, so I guess you'd say I've found them pretty useful. Like anything, if you need large coverage, you need real spray equipment. If you're working on an area that's a square foot or so, or square inches. I've used them on automotive spot touch up type work with good success. If this occurs, please take off the button and soak it in thinner and use a Q-tip to clean around the insides. remove the product container by twisting it off the Sprayer, hold the Sprayer upside down and try to spray propellant.Ĭleanliness is even more important on the inside of the button. The should clear clogs.If that doesn’t work. While covering, press down on the button to force air to flow in reverse. If the Sprayer is clogged, put your finger on the red insert inside of the button nozzle and cover it. If you do not properly clean your Preval Sprayer you will have trouble using it in the future as any contamination will reduce the Preval Sprayer’s output or even clog it completely. Use the proper cleaning agent as specified by the manufacturer for the paint liquid you are using. Whatever thinner you are using for your solution, you can also use for cleaning.

Thinners include water, acetone, mineral spirits and/or lacquer thinner. Paint thinner is the product used to condition the paint to allow for better spray flow. To clean your Preval Sprayer, simply spray paint thinner alone for 10 seconds.
