What people are saying about the PREVAL Spray Gun

I would like to know where to purchase quantities of your product.  It worked wonderfully on acetone based dye for a concrete floor. 

Thank you

Hello,

 

I tried your preval spray gun for commercial use, in my case to spray a mold-release agent into a mold for making fiberglass parts.  It worked well.  I bought 2 sprayers at Painters Supply in Lincoln Park, MI.  I was wondering

 

1)  if you know of a place, closer to me where I can purchase some more, and

 

2) can the top part be purchased separately from the glass jar?

 

Thanks,

Dear Preval,

 

     I just got your spray gun system today.  I ordered over 14.  I build wooden bowls that are very detailed and their are only two people in the world that build wooden bowls like ours.  His name is Robert Cutler and when I visited him this last March he showed me the system he uses to sell his $10,000 bowls.  Why arn't you selling your product in every woodworking magazine in the country?  This is a woodworkers dream.  Today I finished three of my bowls with your sprayer.  I live in Florida and have special needs to spray lacquer.  I had no problems today using your product.  Get your product in Finewoodworking Magazine, Wood magazine, and all the others.  Regards

Hello,

 

Your Preval Spray Gun is one of the most useful devices I have ever run across. It's the perfect complement for touching up auto nicks and scrapes when you buy a small vial of the matching paint at the car dealer. In fact, these dealers should be carrying your fine product! Also, I really think if the big hardware chains were aware of it, they would carry it. As it turned out, I tracked the sprayer down in an Ace hardware store some 20 miles away, but it was worth the trip!

 

One thing that would be of great use would be a few extra "dip tubes" that would make cleanup easier. Do you sell these separately such that I could but a few? Please let me know.

 

Thanks again for making such a useful device!

 

Sincerely,

 

E.J. McFaul

  I am in the cabinet business and spend a good deal of time re-doing what a customer or contractor does bad to my fine work. The tips on your guns are only fair at best. The addition of a better tip that perhaps had a reversable fan type pattern;  as a professional working under a budget minded system, my work IN the field would ease a bit.

 Adam,

 

I'll absolutely be spreading the word among my artist friends not only about Preval, but about your customer service, which as I said is above and beyond. My mailing address is below, and I'll get in touch in the future if I have any other questions or anything regarding the sprayers. Thanks so very much for all your help.

Best,

To Whom It May Concern:

 

My husband and I own a home repair/renovation company in Greensboro, North Carolina.  A majority of our work stems from a property management company here in Greensboro.  In the past five years since we starting working with that particular company, we have had an endless list of work orders to go in behind a former tenant and touch up the paint throughout the dwelling.  When homeowners’ budgets are tight, they simply can’t afford to repaint an entire dwelling…especially when the former tenants were evicted due to non-payment of rent.  With that being said, we always try to find out the exact product we are matching in hopes of getting a dead-on color/sheen match.  Even when we have been able to get the exact paint a builder or homeowner used, the method of application always flashed when applied.  In fact, one job flashed so badly that we had to go back in and repaint the entire condo within six hours before the new tenant moved in.  That was a nightmare! 

 

Then one day, we were at a Duron Paint store explaining our situation to one of the techs there.  When we told him of our perils with touch-up paint jobs, he said, “I’ve got just what you need!”  He went over to a shelf and brought back one of the Preval paint sprayer units.  Now I must admit, I was a bit skeptical at first.  However, we got the paint to match and picked up the sprayer and some extra cylinders and headed right off to the job.  It didn’t take five minutes for my husband and I to fall in love with the Preval sprayer.  I don’t know who came up with the concept, but they are a genius!!!!  We just happened to be working on a two story condo with so many marks on the walls (including crayon, ink pen, and grease) that we were heartsick at the thought of all the work it would entail to make it look right.  In less than two hours, we managed to cover every mark on the walls and trim.  Not only that, but the entire condo looked as if it had just been painted from top to bottom.  The best part was the final result.  It was beautiful!  An added bonus?  We weren’t exhausted from scrambling to make something look right and fighting a losing battle.  We not only won the battle, but we won the war!  J 

 

Now, we keep a constant supply of the Preval cartridges in our paint box and usually clean out the Duron and Sherwin Williams stores we get them from.  In fact, one of the folks at Sherwin Williams told my husband that I must love those things because I always take every one of theirs they have in stock.  I come from a belief system that you always give credit where credit is due and this is no exception.  Your product is amazing!  Your product is a time/money saver.  Your product…well…ROCKS!  We recommend the sprayers to countless folks we come in contact with.  We’ve even left some for new tenants to use for their own touch-up.  Thank you so much for bringing this product to the market.  Without a doubt, you’ve got some lifetime customers here.  Keep ‘em coming!  Again…thank you!

Hello,

 

I purchased two sprayers (my husband is a model railroader and I am a basketry artist) and we were so pleased with the product that we are telling all of our friends and my fellow basketweavers.  However, when I went to get some more cylinders the clerk said they no longer carried them.

 

Would you please email me the stores in this area that carry your great product?

 

We live in the Reno/ Sparks Nevada area.   Sparks  zipcodes are 89431 through 89436 approx. and Reno is 89502 through at least 89511.

 

We have both Lowes and Home Depot stores.

 

Thanks for your help.

I was looking into your hand spray gun (spray cans)…I have a question.

I am working on using the sprayer with Minwax® Polycrylic®

…but the key here is that I will be incorporating another media in with it.

So my question is:

What is the micron size that this can will handle?

If you don’t have the answer, maybe you can point me to the right contact person to find out.

Thank You

An automotive niche - fixing the interior color!

I wanted to post this article as it applies to a niche automotive uses for our Preval Sprayer - Written by

Recoloring you car or boat interior
If it is vinyl and your interior is in good or excellent condition, but stained or faded from the sun, you can now recolor it your self. You do not have to go to an auto trim or boat restoration shop and pay big bucks for this.

Most large automotive paint suppliers carry some sort of vinyl paint or dye, but most of these are just that, paints that will flake off or peel off over time. They are usually paints with flex agents added to them and these tend to dry out over time and are not very flexible. Find a product that is a true dye that penetrates into the vinyl, not one that just sits on the surface and you will be Ok. A true vinyl dye such as Vinylkote will not require thinning and can be used with a compressor and spray gun. If your job is small and you do not have a gun or compressor a Preval spray gun available at most Home Depots is a good solution. You may need 5 to 6 Preval guns to do the whole interior. Regular paint spray guns and compressors can be rented for a day or weekend at your local rental yard. The results with a good quality HVLP spray gun and compressor will be incredible, and you'll save a bundle over buying a complete reproduction interior kit.

Cleaning
Most automotive paint shops will carry vinyl cleaners, but I find lacquer thinner does a great job of cleaning all the grime and dirt from the surface and prepares the surface really well for recoloring. If you are not comfortable using lacquer thinners and are afraid it will melt the vinyl, which it will if you use too much then use a good degreaser or some other cleaner like Superkleen 707 to clean the surface. Use a stiff bristle paint brush to work the cleaner into the grain of the material in order to remove all skin oils, dirt or vinyl conditioners you might have applied over the years. Wipe the cleaner off with a clean damp towel. If your material is really soiled, several cleanings might be necessary. The surface of the part must be as clean as you can get it for the best adhesion and penetration of the vinyl dye. Remember to remove any emblems and metal trim pieces prior to cleaning.

When recoloring seats it is best to take the seats apart so that you can get into every nook and cranny. This is important because if the surface is not cleaned well then the color will lift and not bond to the surface the way it should. Make sure the surface is completely dry prior to recoloring.

Spraying Color
Make sure the vinyl dye has been properly shaken before pouring it into the paint cup as pigments in the dye tend to settle at the bottom if not stirred frequently. For best results, the temperature should be between 60-85 degrees. Spray from about 6 to 8 inches away if using Vinylkote and 12 to 14 inches if using some other dye. Regulate the air pressure to about 25 psi and spray in light mist coats. Spray in several light coats in a smooth back-and-forth motion. Allow 10 minutes between coats. This is called the "flash off" period. Do not try to achieve full coverage in 1 coat as several light coats gives the dye a chance to penetrate into the vinyl and bond properly instead of just sitting on the surface like paint. If you're changing color, it will take a few more coats, which means more dye. Consult with your supplier on how much dye you will need to do your complete interior. To do an average interior with Vinylkote you will need 1 quart if you just want to refresh the color and 2 quarts if you want to change the color completely. If using some other dye please note you will need at least 2 quarts for refreshing the color and 3 to 4 quarts if changing color completely. Spray in a well-ventilated area and wear a particle mask for safety

Hard Plastic
First sand the hard plastic down with 600 wet and dry sandpaper. Then clean the hard plastic in the same way as you did the vinyl. Unlike the soft material on the seats, once you have cleaned the surface you can wash off the cleaner with the hose. Again, let the panels dry completely. Some of the plastics used today are made out of polypropylene, TPO or EPDM, which are very difficult to color. You may need an adhesion promoter for these kinds of hard plastics. This should be sprayed on hard plastic surfaces prior to the color. One light coat of the adhesion promoter is usually sufficient. This helps the dye bond to the plastic much better and makes it more durable.

The final results will be stunning when compared to the former condition, and the cost will be minimal. If you don't mind doing the restoration work yourself, it's the only way to go. Plus, you can tell everyone that you did it your self and that it looks exactly like the original the did it rolled off the assembly line.
