Fuji Spray 2202 Semi-PRO 2 - HVLP Spray System

This is a great sprayer, even for an amateur like me. It is easy to set up, relatively easy to clean up, and controlling the spray pattern was easy as well. The build quality is really solid which also translates to a bit of weight - but the hose is plenty long so you don't need to move the base around while spraying. It took a little bit of trial and error to get the paint to the right consistency (adding water to latex paint), but I was able to get there - just remember to not start with too much additional water - you can always add more. Definitely recommend wearing ear plugs or some other form of protection because the fan does get loud but that is to be expected. Also would wear protection for your breathing because the paint is truly a fine mist. I got the bottom feed but I will likely also get the gravity feed mechanism in the future as I think it might be a little more comfortable to hold / manipulate the gun for some spraying positions. I also recommend getting the whip hose as it makes it easier (and feels lighter) than pull the heavier hose as you spray.

Prior to purchasing the Fugi Sprayer Semi-Pro, I read every review and watch a lot of YouTube presentations on it. For the money, I felt this would be the best choice. I've used this sprayer on a couple of projects now and have come to appretiate some things about it and question a few things. Pros: 1. Surprisingly quiet considering it's a small turbine. 2. The hose is very manageable without having to buy the small pigtail that some have. 3. Its fairly simple to clean, though I use water based prodocts 4. The instruction manual is good and to the point. 5. Fairly light weight compared to the old sprayer I had. 6. The quality is unmistakably great. Everything about it is top notch. 7. It performed flawlessly and both my customer and I loved the finish it gave. Cons: (These go to marketing not the ability of the machine) 1. Parts are not available near me, order on line is about the only option. 2. A 1.3 mm spray tip came with the gun. That's great for spraying thin material but normal stuff like polyurathane, lacquer and such you need at least a 1.5 mm tip. They should include this. At about $45 dollars a pop that would have been nice. If I ever wanna spray water though I have the tip for it. 3. The filter at the bottom of the pickup tube broke after 2 uses. I order a new one (5 in a package $10) but had to wait to finish a project due to it. They include a package of "wearable parts" why the don't include the filter beats me. Overall I'd buy it again just because of the quality. Quality in the way it's built, quality in the parts ( when I bought the new tip the parts came with not only the tip but all new nozzle, needle, air caps and collar) and Quality in the end result, an absolutely stunning finish. I'll be spraying some paint soon and when I do I'll update the review on that. Mike Update 6/4/2020 Well I promised an update on paint spraying and I have done a few pieces now and I can say I'm very pleased with the results. Getting the paint to a point where you don't have the "Orange Peel" effect takes some trial and error but once you understand it your going to get better at it. My recommendation is to read Arni's review. He is spot on and much more articulate with what he says about this sprayer.

I’ve owned tons of sprayers over the years Titans, Gracos you name it. They’re all reputable companies, but Fuji Spray really impressed me with the quality of their HVLP sprayer. I’ve mainly used mine for lacquer (thinned and catalyzed) as well as alcohol-based primers thinned with denatured alcohol, and this thing sprays like absolute butter. Once you dial in the right setting, the sprayer puts out a perfect fine mist that lays down smooth, even, thin coats every single time. Cleanup is simple, and the gun is built with durable aluminum and steel parts that are easy to take apart and maintain. I already love mine and look forward to using it on many more fine-finish projects. Highly recommend!

After putting the Fuji Spray 2202 Semi-PRO 2 HVLP Spray System through its paces in my woodworking shop, I can confidently say it’s a game-changer for anyone looking to achieve a professional finish without stepping into full industrial equipment territory. Build Quality & Design The first thing you notice about this unit is how well-built it is. The metal turbine case gives it a durable, shop-ready feel, and the included M-Model spray gun is well-balanced in hand. Unlike cheap plastic sprayers, this one feels like a tool meant to last. The 25-ft hose is a welcome length, allowing for easy maneuverability without feeling restricted. Performance & Spray Quality I primarily use this for wood finishing, applying everything from shellac and lacquer to water-based poly. The 2-stage turbine provides enough power to atomize finishes effectively, producing a smooth, even coat. That said, if you’re working with thicker materials like latex paint, you’ll need to thin them appropriately or consider a more powerful 3- or 4-stage system. The adjustable fan pattern is a great feature, making it easy to switch between a fine mist for detail work and a broader spray for larger surfaces. With some fine-tuning of the material flow and air pressure, you can dial in a near-flawless finish. Ease of Use & Cleaning One of the biggest concerns with spray systems is the cleanup. Fortunately, the Fuji Semi-PRO 2 makes this relatively painless. The non-bleed gun design means less overspray and less mess to deal with. Disassembly for cleaning is straightforward, and as long as you rinse and flush it properly after use, maintenance is minimal. Noise Level Like most turbine-driven systems, it’s not whisper-quiet. The turbine produces a steady hum that’s louder than a shop vacuum but not deafening. If you’re working in a small enclosed space, ear protection might be a good idea. Pros & Cons Pros: ✅ High-quality build, durable materials ✅ Excellent atomization for wood finishes ✅ Adjustable spray pattern & easy controls ✅ Long 25-ft hose for flexibility ✅ Easy to clean and maintain Cons: ❌ Not ideal for thick paints without proper thinning ❌ Turbine can be a bit loud ❌ Price is higher than entry-level models, but justified Final Verdict If you’re a serious DIYer or professional woodworker looking for an HVLP system that delivers a professional finish, the Fuji 2202 Semi-PRO 2 is a fantastic investment. It’s well-built, delivers smooth and even coats, and is easy to use once you get the settings dialed in. While it’s not the cheapest option on the market, the quality and performance make it worth every penny.

Funcionauy bien y el acabado que deja es muy bueno

Sprays very nicely—factory finish level. easy to clean and maintain. A bit noisy, mostly limited to stain and lacquers and other thin finishes (despite them selling larger caps you'd need much more power for). Very spendy (and especially the parts) for something such as this, unless you were using it daily/several times per week to earn money with it. Hose is cumbersome, and other reviews state that the lightweight "whip" offering (also expensive for a plastic hose) doesn't last. I used a lightweight garden hose instead and that worked nicely.

All other reviews have been very positive about this product so I’m asking for a replacement and willing to give it another go as the reviews and videos I’ve watched are so good

I ordered this FugiSpray Semi-Pro2 with Suction Feed for my for my brother in law Scott King. This is his review: “The build quality of the unit is very good and solid. The materials and finish of the M-Model gun are very good and the movement of the trigger and the adjusting knobs are nice and smooth. The noise level of the Turbine was not as loud as I had expected. There was no need for hearing protection like there would be with an air compressor. I sprayed an area of about 8’ x 10’ very easily. The paint was laid down smooth and even. The paint was an automotive type paint with a hardener and a reducer mixed in as per the manufacturers instructions. I did not use the Viscosity Cup to check the paint. The unit was easy to use and easy to clean after. The hose is thick and solid looking but very flexible , it looks heavy but I did not notice the weight as I was spraying. I would highly recommend the unit.”

I did a lot of research on these types of sprayers and am very happy I went with Fuji. The turbine, gun and accessories are all excellent quality. Even though it is the entry level Fuji, with some careful adjustments and proper paint thinning you can get great application results. The key is to understand that at 5 psi it takes more preparation with the coating thinning process, more time to get the gun adjustment of paint to air ratio right (which may also require a different needle size), and the speed of application will be slower than the much more capable 9.5 psi models. However, for a home hobbyist or a professional who doesn't need to paint every day these are reasonable limitations for the money expended and the results you can get. I wouldn't use this to paint walls but for smaller items such as kitchen cabinets, tables, chests and trim etc, this is a very useful addition to my workshop and over time, I expect it will be used more and more. It was packed extremely well with the turbine and gun in extra separate boxes with foam inside as well. Finally, yes the turbine is loud, but that is what earplugs are for.
