Product Description
Product Description
The Mini-Mite 3 PLATINUM system includes the Fuji T-Model spray gun. Fuji installs the same powerful 3-stage turbine motor as used in Q3 models. The MM3 PLATINUM does not have the patented noise-reduction feature as seen on the Fuji Q-Models, however the noise level is no more than any other standard HVLP turbine. The MM3 PLATINUM turbine develops approximately 6psi. This is more than enough pressure to spray all known coatings (when properly thinned) and all the newer water-based coatings. The T-70 spray gun is non-bleed and features a side-mounted pattern control knob (to adjust the size of the fan pattern) and 1 Quart cup. The standard air cap set #3 (1.3mm) is for the use of general purpose fine finishing. Easy to maintain. Perfect for professional or beginner. This is an industrial-rated machine at an unbeatable price. Heavy-duty metal case with gun holder. Portable and powerful. The system includes the Mini-Mite 3 PLATINUM turbine, 25ft Hi-Flex hose, T-70 non-bleed spray gun, viscosity cup, cleaning brush, wrench and 24 page user manual. What’s new in the Mini-Mite PLATINUM Series? The Fuji Spray Heat Dissipation Chamber: Fuji Spray has designed a unique method of removing any heat build-up from the turbine case. Excess heat is channeled to a Heat Dissipation Chamber located at the rear of the case. Fuji Spray Noise Reduction Covers: The Mini-Mite PLATINUM turbines are equipped with a method to reduce noise. The Noise Reduction Covers house the Filters.

So, for my next built-in shelves I got the Mini Mite 3 with bottom cup. It worked great. Definitely get the additional whip hose and any remote control outlet. The over spray was comparably minor, it used a lot less paint, and produced great fine finish results at a slow pace for detailed work. The sprayer, cup, hose, and turbine housing are all top notch quality. Clean well after each use and it'll look good and perform well for a long time. My only frustration with cleaning was the plastic diaphragm inside the cup. I had to remove it every time to clean out paint that got behind it. Otherwise, the gun cleaned easily with the separately available cleaning kit. Definitely get that, or something similar. Water flow was not good enough to fully clean inside the feeder tube or inside the gun. After doing all I could with just water, the long, flexible pipe cleaner of the proper diameter got more paint out.
I'll still use the airless sprayer for large flat surfaces, but I'll use this Fuji HVLP for all furniture projects.
I had to practice a LOT on scrap wood to get the process right, but the resulting finish with a high gloss white latex paint was perfectly smooth. I'm an amateur, and I realize latex paint isn't ideal for cabinetry, but I wanted to exactly match the rest of the existing doors and trim work. I tried the #5 1.8 tip but couldn't get the finish "fine" enough (maybe due to inexperience). I ultimately used the included 1.3 tip and just diluted the paint with water until I got a 20 second pour with the included viscosity cup and ignored any dilution guidelines on the paint can. That produced great, smooth, glossy results. The one trick that helped me the most was having a large piece of cardboard or resin paper to the side of my workspace to test the spray pattern every time I adjusted the width and horizontal/vertical orientation for the various pieces and angles of the shelving. My amateur guide to getting a fine finish is to use the 1.3 tip no matter how thick your paint is, dilute to the 17-25 second range as measured by the viscosity cup, set your spray fan orientation and width, maximize air flow, fully close the paint flow control dial then open it a full turn, then spray briefly in one spot. If you see ANY spatter droplets on the outside edges, then reduce paint flow slightly and try again until there is NO spatter at the edges and you see only very fine spray everywhere. Then run a test pass or two on that paper to determine how quickly you need to move. Place a work light where you can see the wet paint reflection to verify that you have a good coat (this is especially important when painting white topcoat over white primer or when doing a second coat). Overlap passes by 50% (aim the center of the pattern at the far edge of the previous pass. If the reflection looks uneven or grainy due to lack of paint from moving too quickly, it's okay to quickly touch up freshly wet areas with short passes (this sprayer doesn't spatter when you start and stop, so I found it ok to touch-up spots in the middle of a pass without redoing the whole pass), but don't go back to touch up any area that may have already started to skin over (several passes back). Let it dry and do another coat if necessary.
A word on over spray... it exists. Do not think that you can spray indoors or in a garage without taking the time to tape off the surrounding area with plastic. There was a fine mist of paint on the (plastic covered) floor or wall past wherever I had aimed the sprayer, and there was a fine, dry, thin, dusty layer throughout the whole room (and garage workspace) afterward far from where I was spraying. That paint dust was as easy to wipe off as a month of normal busy household dust, although I didn't wait to see what happened if I let that latex dust sit for a month.
I wore a headlamp and could see fine spray dust floating everywhere, so wearing a respirator is important. The professionals probably do a better job of fine tuning the air flow to reduce this spray dust, but amateurs beware. Still, it's significantly less messy to work with than an airless sprayer, and you have much more fine control, and fine finish results.
My only concern was I was going to be spraying primer and latex - usually better with a 4 or 5 stage turbine - but I read many places of success with the right thinning (and a stupid number of YouTube videos showing how to do it). I cannot express how incredible the finish turned out. 2 coats of primer, 2 coats of latex gloss - looks amazing. Smooth, great shine, extremely even gloss. No orange peel, no splatter, and super fast! I could finish a coat in less than 30 minutes - would have taken me hours by hand. Honestly, it took longer to clean the system each time then it did to paint a very large built in, including the inside. I did have to purchase the 1.8mm orifice set up extra for this use.
For the primer, I found the Fuji instructions would have resulted in too thin a spray (although that might have been my learning curve). I thinned about 2/3 of what they suggested in both primer and latex. Had a few runs and slumps the first time, but I believe that was my getting used to it. My viscosity was longer then their suggestion, but it seemed to work. Note that most YouTube videos showed thinning more along the lines of what I did versus what Fuji recommended. I did NOT use Floetrol - although the instructions mentioned it, a email conversation with Fuji suggested not to.
Very easy to adjust spray pattern, volume, speed, etc. Practiced on cardboard and then on the non visible parts of the built in. Might suggest for a new user practice with water first on cardboard to get the hang of adjusting spray pattern size, direction and amount of paint.
Never, ever could have got this type of high quality finish by hand. Really looking forward to a more traditional woodworking project and spraying a lacquer or poly on some fine walnut.
Highly recommend this product - its worth the money, with none of the other issues seen in the lower cost HVLP systems
