I was about to ask the same thing. I guess no one is using this. I Was thinking this would help me with my coverage in the cut out areas. I try and paint from an angle, but it doesn't seem to be enough pretty often.

Any help would be appreciated.

I HAVE A WAGNER ELECTROSTATIC GUN. IT USES COMPRESSED AIR, 110 VOLTS FOR THE ELECTROSTAT. AND A AIRLESS PAINT PUMP. IT USES ONLY OIL BASED PAINTS. MY UNIT HAS HAD ONLY 10 GALLONS THRU IT, THEN THEY BANNED OIL BASED PAINTS IN MY AREA. SO ITS BEEN IN STORAGE. IT WORKS GREAT AND PAINT REALLY DOES "WRAP" AROUND YOUR PROJECT.
I'D CONSIDER SELLING SINCE I CANT BUY OIL BASED PAINT OR THE THINNERS NEEDED HERE IN SO. CAL. ANYMORE.

BUT YES THEY WORK REALLY NICE.
