This is the pup for the job
I bought this spray gun and used it for about a year and it worked great
I didn't clean the gun good after a few spray runs and I had a lot of water in my air compressor, these two things made my spraying a real hell. I bought another type of gun for spraying and I found I didn't have the control I wanted. I ordered another Porter-Cable. I couldn't be any more happy, I also got a new Porter-Cable air compressor and with the two, it's great. This is the right ticket for anyone who wants a sprayer that you have great control over the spray. This Pup will work great for you, just take a little time to learn how you want your spray on some card broad. Go Porter-Cable!!!

Perfect
This is an excellent gun. Very adjustable in terms of air flow, fluid feed and spray distribution. Very easy to use, and spray on finishes come out excellent.
Very easy to clean.
Worth every penny. You will find some inexpensive HVLP guns that do not spray as well and are much harder to clean.

High End Results
I build High End Custom furniture and apply a conversion varnish as a finish. Prior to using this gun, I had been using my old gravity feed Binks that I had painted cars with. There is less over-spray with the Porter Cable and certainly easier to clean. I thought that I would hate the idea of a plastic cup, but even after allowing the varnish to set-up like a rock, the cup blows clean with air pressure. The fit and finish of the gun is outstanding, and with different needles and nozzles available, its a dream. I'm buying a second to dedicate it for latex painting.

well-made, excellent item, to be used carefully and judiciously
in all, I am very impressed with the craftsmanship and performance of this tool. However, it has not been easy as a relative beginner with spray painting to learn how to use this particular tool. first of all, I cannot say enough about the quality of the construction of this tool: fine chrome on the outside and turned brass around the spray nozzle. The only thing which would help me to better rate the construction of this tool would be for porter-cable to include a case, which for an item of this quality I feel should be included.
I think however, a few cautionary notes would be helpful to you if you are considering adopting this gun for new spraying project. first of all this gun is difficult to clean. They do include a nice brush made with the correct dimensions that works very well to clean this gun but still, there is a large amount of cleaning that has to happen on the many multifaceted and intricate surfaces inside the gun. Since I don't use a tool like this regularly I am not sure what the standard of cleanliness is and I spend a long amount of time after each use bringing the gun back to its original condition, perhaps this is not necessary but it considerably adds to the time required to use this tool.
Make sure to keep paint from drying on the air inlet attached paint bucket. Over time I've cleaned out every part of the gun except for the top of the paint can which collected enough paint inside it to block any incoming air. This created a large problem when I tried to use the tool in that I was not able to get any paint to come out of the gun and so I increased the pressure and opened all the apertures only to find that I still was not able to get any paint out. I proceeded to water down the paint hoping to reduce its viscosity to no effect. I finally figured out that to make the gun work I needed to keep taking the lid off to let the pressure rebalance in the paint can. I was finally able to clean out the paint can in the gun worked perfectly. The most helpful advice I could give them is that it is important to clean out the surfaces that the gun uses such as the nozzle and the top of the paint can while perhaps spending less time on cleaning the rest of the gun. However, as I said before this gun has not disappointed me in any way from its workmanship and is provided a great transitional tool for me to learn about paint spraying.
I also did not find the overspray from this gun to be that bad even though it just so happened that every time I worried about it I feel that I overcompensated with tape and drop cloths and whenever I didn't worry about it I inevitably hit something small that was very difficult to clean up. However, the overspray from this gun has impressed me as being much less a worry that I previously thought.
