I used the Preval not long ago. It worked fine, for a while. I
hindsight, it likely had a clog on the air intake or some such. I just
figured it was a POS but likely it was user error. As they say, RTM.
;) Otherwise a neat unit for small jobs.

When you get the paint on, beware that it may not match the existing
paint due to fading or what not.
