Upgrading from an airless sprayer to the Fuji Mini-Mite 5 Platinum is a game-changer for fine finishing. Moving from the high-pressure blast of airless to the surgical precision of this 5-stage turbine has completely elevated my cabinetry and staircase work.
The MM5 handles high-solids 2K polyurethanes with ease. Atomization is superb, producing a glass-like finish on white oak with virtually no orange peel. The lack of overspray is the biggest win - I can now spray with a fraction of the masking required for an airless. The Platinum heat dissipation box is vital; it keeps the air cool so the finish doesn't flash too quickly in the hose.
The T-Model gun is intuitive to adjust, and the build quality feels like industrial-grade machinery. For any DIYer transitioning from high-volume production to high-end detail work, this is the gold standard. It's a significant investment, but the results on the wood speak for themselves. Highly recommended.

Fuji Mini-Mite 5 G-XPC Platinum

First time buying from Paint Sprayers Plus, and overall it's been a great experience—delivery was quick and the spray system was brand new. I'm new to HVLP turbines and I'm on a learning curve, but I'm feeling optimistic after a few uses. It seems like a good system and can handle different tasks with various paints. Time will tell how reliable it is.

I bought this machine to replace and old 3 stage Apollo unit. I've use this to spray water based sanding sealer and clear coat, and love the machine.

Bought the Mini Mite 5 to replace an older 2 stage turbine from a different brand. This unit is worlds apart, I should have purchased it years ago. Used it a few time using latex and a water based poly. Easy to adjust and produces a beautiful smooth finish.

First time sprayer and really enjoyed MM5 w/G-XPC Manual is really clear with down to earth language. Controls on the gun were easy to get the hang of and clean up was easier than I expected. A few minutes of cleaning had me ready for next coats. Mini Mite 5 performed really well with Benjamin Moore Advance. Overall, I am very satisfied and excited about next projects
