Hell yeah pete!!!@ if i could say something Pete.......i have a devillis...some bullshit gun and along with the cup system.....well eventually i ran out of the cups n used my head.....i said fuk buying cups...let me try a ziplock sandwich bag instead.....and you know what????

Using the same gun over and over develops perfect muscle memory also. It's all about air pressure, gun distance and speed for each material. Watch the product go and make those adjustments as needed. And yes, another gun for spray on body filler and the small gun. My small gun was $16 and sprays glass. It's not the tools that make the man work - its the man that makes the tools work, as you basically said. Good video Pete
I love this video! I have 3 guns. A HVLP Black Widow I use for base, a HTE Black Widow for clear and a 1980's Binks Model7 for everything else. I Paint mostly motorcycles and vintage minibikes. Maybe I'm doing it wrong but so far it is working for me.
Them old school spraygun does make alot of overspray god damn 😂😂...this man bought a sata 5000 rp & iwata and still goes back to them old school spraygun he have 😂😂😂😂
My dad was all binks 7 for painting I remember he painted lacquer we had to help him sand with 600 grit 600!!! And we had to make it shine lol we did too Polish by hand. I was 5 or 7 years old I was doing frame work at 7 years old. I'm 57 now.
Two spray guns here. Binks 7 and Devilbiss Mgb, since 1982. Either would do for everything but I have two in case I drop one in the middle of a paint job. It can happen. I think the key to success is recognizing changing conditions and making constant adjustments while spraying. I used one booth that had such a weird air flow speed deviation around the room that the gun had to be adjusted for each side of the car.
This is the first video I have seen from Pete. He is absolutely right on with gun choices and funny as shit! I bought my first Binks #7 in 1978 and have literally shot thousands of gallons of lacquers stains and every paint known to man with it. I still use it and it works as good as it did brand new. I have had to change the needle and nozzle several times just because of the volume of paint I spray with it but as long as you clean it when you're finished with it you can pick it up and it will work perfect every time.
Absolutely Pete. I've got my Dad's, Binks #7 when he passed . We spreyed alot of cars,and motorcycles when I was growing up. Also a sata hvlp touch up gun .ya got to have one of those..and startline hvlp with 2 guns ,oh and 1 more ,its a .hvlp. .Big Daddy Roth gun with a 2.5 tip .just for ,metal flake. On my fiberglass buggy.. rebuild the binks # 7 . One time. In the last 10 yr. But don't paint as much as you.do. love the vides man , i Always learn something new,and crack up, when I watch your channel Bud..tell it like it is.. regular TV, sucks...
You so need a tv show ! I love your channel! Great stuff, I'm a award winning taxidermist and have been useing same iwata airbrush for 30 years ! Every one always ask what you use ! Lol that's great! I also havecthat same spray gun ! Probably 30 years also ! Keep video's coming
I'm a DIYer looking to buy a high quality spray gun but not having any idea of what I need or what to buy. I'm glad I found this video first thing as I started searching for information. It saved me from wasting time watching all the videos telling me I needed a specific gun for every different type of paint, primer, clear, etc. And it saved me a lot of money buying all those guns. Pete, you're a bit crass and a bit loud. But very informative. Thanks!
I use a Devilbiss FLG5 and for heavy primers a vapor with a 2.3 tip The FLG 5 does almost everything.and its under 200 bucks ive had mine for 5 years now 1.4 tip. Thanks for this video
@Hello Kitteh a 60 gallon single stage compressor will push the FLG5 just fine without overworking at all. Keep in mind, the FLG5 works as low as 20 psi while still atomizing well.
My old neighbor Terry gave me a old Binks model 7 about 20 years ago. I used it for priming stuff he later would paint for me. I still have it and was just thinking about cleaning it up and using it. I haven't painted a vehicle in years. I have a new project car, and it needs the bumper cover re-sprayed. Your video shows I still have the perfect spray gun for it. And it will help me remember the days Terry taught me how to paint a car.
I build guitars, been using a Binks No.7 since 1973. Picked one up last year for 5 bucks at garage sale, rebuilt it works perfect. Air brush for touch ups.
Hey Pete my name is Jim. I do bodywork to on 56 and I do it just like you do people call me a hack all the time but nobody gets it done as good as I do and as fast I think it works awesome the majority of people love my work, there’s always gonna be haters but don’t worry they make your famous. Have a good one. I’ll keep watching your videos. Thanks for the great work and excellent tips.
Am with you. I begin with a direct no tank compressor, at the age of 13 am 65. And my gun for everything was a speedy of $7 in 1971, spraying lacquer and acrylic enamel. My first "Cadillac" was a Bink 7. I don't know of needles or cap, then I went to a Vocacional School. I have to set everything with that only gun, and a campbell 25 gallon compressor, with a toilet paper air filter.If you paint something with a spray can, you can Not adjust the pressure , or the fluid, you have to control, to achieve the results.You are right. Thanks Pete.
Thanks Pete! "you don't need 7000 spray guns!" LOL. So true. I kind of figured this was the case, but it's nice to hear it from a true pro. Love your channel!
I have a DeVilbiss JGA502 that must be 50 years old. LOL, well it looks like it. I spray everything with it, primer, paint, clear. I keep it very clean and watch closely what I am doing.
Perfect timing Pete. It just happen to see a 3M plastic reinforced super dupper paint spray pooper. The 30 year old #1 complained the Iwata was too heavy, 30 year old #2 said the other gave him a blister, manager said it saved them 20% in paint as they throw away the $38 tip, then finished by saying “After a couple of weeks, just throw away the gun and get another”. Now that is saving big money in paint buy throwing the gun away. That is smart! How come I never thought of that! Now, that is brain washed. Throw the gun away because we will sell you another 20-30 or more! 3M = Smarter.
Personally I do like to play around with different spray guns. I only owned 1 gun for almost 4 years and got great results with it. Collecting and borrowing guns is more of just a hobby than anything, a hobby that’s a lot less vain and expensive than driving fancy cars or going on lavish vacations. It is pretty useless but I really enjoy the challenge of using a gun or paint system that I’m not used to, it keeps me on my toes and keeps painting fun. I know im a total nerd, oh well.
This is the kind of dude I’d want to be my friend. Nice videos, I’m practicing my body work, sanding and painting on my gas saver so hopefully I’m decent when I get into restoring my old school trucks. Keep up the videos man!
I bought a Sprayit LVLP kit, came with binks style siphon cup that holds 10 ounces and came with a gravity feed gun also, with 1.3-1.5-1.7-2.0 tip sets. Can do anything and its under $150.
1 gun Bunks 2001 30 year old gun and still sprays perfectly. I spayed every thang with this gun Primer single stage base coat clear coat restored a couple boats and sprayed gelcoat every thang comes out smoth no orange peel I start cutting with 2000
Great to see a new video Pete ! Your friend paul from delta bc 🇨🇦…..trust me guys I’ve followed Pete for years , he is honest , real and knows his shit!!!
THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH I HAVE A FEW BINKS 7s also have been doing cars since I was a kid that was the first gun I learned to spray with still use it today along with a few others !!
Binks#7 and a national detroit da is what i learned to do body work with still at it almost 40 years now and you are right you don’t need 50 spray guns
Thank you thank you thank you. My first gun was a devilbiss starting line. Cheap gun. I have a 1.3, 1.8, and a 2.0 tip for it. I've done everything with it. And all my jobs have come out great! Even did house furniture with it. Only issue with it was orange peel. But I did all primers, bases and clears with it.
Thanks: Pete for setting me straight. I had a retired aircraft re finisher friend give me a Devilbiss spray gun 40 years ago, he used to spray every finish in the aviation industry. I decided to put a new set of fenders on my 2004 dodge and paint them myself. I started to fall into the HVLP trap with the nozzles and cups, that I knew nothing about. I took a chance, and used the old gun I was taught with, and I could not believe the quality of the finish that gun laid down, in fact I think it was very forgiving in some cases. New is not always better. Only wish I could go back and buy a new truck of that era with the price tag to match. Cheer's Canada
Thanks for all the effort you put into showing everyone how things are done and being very blunt and true. I've been watching a lot of your vids and I have learnt a lot. Very Inspiring.
I have a Binks model 69 and a binks 2000 and a small gun for doing jams hard to reach areas and of course guilty have bought hvlp and Chinese kits 3 guns different tips sizes
I Love your agitator cup! Your's is only the second one I've ever seen, other than in catalogs. I don't remember the brand I have but it has a magnetic agitator in the bottom. I started out with a Sharpe in the late 70's and saved up for an MBC. Sharpe became my dedicated primer gun. Now I have a SuperNova and an LPH400. Thanks for all your hard work and advice.
I used a Snap-On spray gun that was made by Sharpe that I bought when I started going to tech school for auto-body back in 89 and it was still working like new when it was stolen 4 years ago. It just had a perfect feel to it for me and even one of my old bosses preferred how it felt and sprayed over his Binks guns. I only had that one gun for all those years and cleaned it inside and out every time I finished with it. Was it a better quality gun than all others? NO… it just felt it had better fit and balance to me. It’s an individuals personal preference what gun they use. Pete hit it right on the head. A cheap gun can work as well as an expensive one if adjusted right. Go with what feels right to you, and don’t fall into the false belief that each product needs to have a certain gun that is used only for that product.
I settled on sata 4000b rp 1.3 does all I need to do. I have a cheap harbor freight purple gun with 2. Tip for high build. If I had started with the #7 I doubt I would change. 👍🏻
I have a black 62 vw sunroof, painted at a Ford dealership !! yea, painted over the weekend, 20+ years ago, Binks 7 by a friend of mine. Now it is time for me to get a gun, at school, we have SATA. But 700+ plus ??
Hilarious you whipped out my life's story... #7,Satamini Sata 1st version 2000 pretty much the same. Still use 7 . Never tried the Harbour Freight for liquid bondo going to try ...
I’m a painter at a used car body shop. There’s times where I have to paint 4 cars at a time (no booth). I can definitely say for someone in my situation. Multiple guns is necessary. Ain’t got all day cleaning a gun in between cars
Yep same here.Especially when using blender for blending in light metallics .Ill have days where I have to paint 3 bumpers ,3 different colors in the same booth.Production is a whole different animal .I can see where Pete is coming from I’d use my LPH400 for everything if I could but 1 gun just wouldn’t work for me especially when I have 4-5 cars a day to paint .
is the agitator cup for metal flake? I've shot metal flake for Enterprise Kiosk booths we were building and used HG cheap -$20 purple spray guns... work fine for what i was doing but was hard for me to keep the flake consistent
Pete: "Who needs 14 different kinds of food in your refrigerator, I have one Giant hunk of Bologna and I can eat that fucker for every meal.... cuz I can" Don't be a fuckin showboat kids.
Pete, with lower fluid and air pressure, can a binks 7 have better efficiency while atomizing the paint? I love my binks 7 just don’t like waiting material. Thanks
I been watching you for a year I learn a lot thanks, I got my little shop and painted a few cars with just two guns 1,3 n 1,4 ur funny bro keep youtubing
I respect you Pete...I have a ton of guns though so I guess I'm the problem. I really like the Upol primers and Euro clears. I've followed you for years. You and my uncle are cut from the same cloth. That's where I learned the little I know.
I started with a Binks model 7, ever seen the one that heats enamel so it flows, drys as it hits, I have a gun for base coat and one for clear cause I'm lazy, each one set for what I like, and a cheap primer gun, Great video, tells it like it is.
St8 Facts...I've been subed for years and I've been painting for 20+ years. Thanks for always being honest ant str8 to the point💯 ...we prime with supernova at my shop🤷🏾♂️
Pete badass painting cribs and shit. You name it Pete will and have painted it. My man has taught me so much. Keep painting and talking the real sh*t that people need to hear.
😂😂😂 I still watch your channel because you keep it real about the paint life! Honestly I have about 4 guns and that’s the SATA bf RP 2.5 for polyester primers, regular primer gun air gunza 1.8 and my base and clear gun…IWATA LPH400 and SATA 5500 HVLP 1.4. And you are right about being able to use one gun because I’ve used SATA for base and clear as well as the IWATA and the finish was great with both
Seems like all my old guns crapped out all at once....I think they all need new needles....I bought the Black Widow HTE from Harbor Freight with a coupon about a week ago...Could not be more happy...Serious a great gun for $189...Even feels good in your hand
Right on Pete! I have one gun and I have used it for putting finishes on woodworking project and now 2k High Build primer, epoxy sealer, color coat and clear coat. The only thing that I have is a Teflon cup for water base finishes and another one for urethane finishes.
Pete why do you have throw away the guns used for high build primers? Do those primers have something that ruins your gun? Would you use a harbor freight gun like that for high build epoxy primer? I have one devilbis gun and don’t want to ruin it.
I always say the best spray gun is the one that works for you.I don’t need multiple guns but many times I’m spraying multiple colors at the same time especially in a production setting
Awesome video not trying to bring any more confusion to the topic but what can you tell us about conventional spray guns and LVLP (not be confused with HVLP) guns. Maybe this could be a part two video on the subject. Thank you Pete
Pete you need to make a video on how to clean a spray gun. What do you clean your gun with? And how to take the gun apart and how to put the gun together? Thank you
Sir. I have a question. I was out salvaging some post and beams from an old shed. There was a mid 50s chevy in it. The car has a mother of pearl paint job. When I hauled it out and washed her the color is so different from what we know as mother of pearl. The blues and greens with flecks of red are great. Are you able to tell me how they did it? and how might I replicate it? The cars in my garage. The owner said since I bought the building it was my job to scrap her.
Pete - Thanks for great video! I'm new to this and just starting to paint with a gun. Could you please do a video on what size tips are preferable and why for different types of paint, epoxy primer, bases, clears? Or do you have to thin your materials to make them work with a particular tip?
I'm not Pete, but I'm sure he would say that the tip size is not as important as the knowledge of how to adjust the gun for the conditions you will be spraying under, and your willingness to adapt to those situations. I personally will tell you that these experts that show you how to open the fluid needle all the way to get the "correct" adjustment are "quacks". Wide open throttle is not the only way to operate a spray gun. Once in the nineties when my primary spray gun was down, I used my Nesco 868 lvlp primer gun with a 1.8 tip for everything. Did I have the fluid wide open? No. Did I run that lvlp gun at 40psi for clearcoat? Absolutely! You're the painter; you make the gun work for you.
@@ericmark472 you're certainly welcome. Practice makes perfect. Before you aim the gun at your actual project, make at least 4 passes on a test fender or something with your initial settings and technique to see if it's wet, but not too wet
I have some sata 95 and can’t remember the ones and can’t get parts for them anymore so they are outdated! I still have a old number 7 but what could I buy that they will keep making seals needles and heads for? I am old and don’t have the money I used, what can I buy?
I came across someone else’s vid, an old one, where they’re showing a 50’s Buick century in dark green. And who’s dingy old shop is it sitting in? My friend Pete. He wasn’t around but they seemed real impressed
You do not understand that they ask what gun because they want to achieve a high quality job like the pro's. ie. you. The truth is like you said you have to know your gun and how it sprays. If you suck at spraying with a larger gun and get runs then you need a smaller gun ect. I actually prefer a smaller gun for my projects and I spray each panel separately.
Glad to help out If your a beginner I suggest to look into purchasing the Devilbiss STARTER LINE kit which includes 2 guns -- Primer gun -- and a Base Clear Gun with interchangeable needle and nozzle included.. Good Price and great starter product. They also have a 3 gun set that includes the touch up gun!

This is the kind of dude I’d want to be my friend. Nice videos, I’m practicing my body work, sanding and painting on my gas saver so hopefully I’m decent when I get into restoring my old school trucks. Keep up the videos man!
I bought a Sprayit LVLP kit, came with binks style siphon cup that holds 10 ounces and came with a gravity feed gun also, with 1.3-1.5-1.7-2.0 tip sets. Can do anything and its under $150.
No, you can't.
1 gun Bunks 2001 30 year old gun and still sprays perfectly. I spayed every thang with this gun Primer single stage base coat clear coat restored a couple boats and sprayed gelcoat every thang comes out smoth no orange peel I start cutting with 2000
Great to see a new video Pete ! Your friend paul from delta bc 🇨🇦…..trust me guys I’ve followed Pete for years , he is honest , real and knows his shit!!!
Here, here. I love my handme down gun. 30 sata. Love it.
THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH I HAVE A FEW BINKS 7s also have been doing cars since I was a kid that was the first gun I learned to spray with still use it today along with a few others !!
Binks#7 and a national detroit da is what i learned to do body work with still at it almost 40 years now and you are right you don’t need 50 spray guns
Thank you thank you thank you. My first gun was a devilbiss starting line. Cheap gun. I have a 1.3, 1.8, and a 2.0 tip for it. I've done everything with it. And all my jobs have come out great! Even did house furniture with it. Only issue with it was orange peel. But I did all primers, bases and clears with it.
Binks 7 was my first paint gun, it could spray any paint perfect.
Thanks for giving me the idea to build a paint booth filter with wheels on it for my garage door. Worked out beautifully, You are the man!
Thanks: Pete for setting me straight. I had a retired aircraft re finisher friend give me a Devilbiss spray gun 40 years ago, he used to spray every finish in the aviation industry. I decided to put a new set of fenders on my 2004 dodge and paint them myself. I started to fall into the HVLP trap with the nozzles and cups, that I knew nothing about. I took a chance, and used the old gun I was taught with, and I could not believe the quality of the finish that gun laid down, in fact I think it was very forgiving in some cases. New is not always better. Only wish I could go back and buy a new truck of that era with the price tag to match. Cheer's Canada
The preacher and the teacher we love you Pete;)
God bless!!!
I use the spectrum hte from harbor freight has 1.3 and I love and it’s my go to gun put the psi on 28-30 and let it roll
yeah ive used that gun for clear coat before... not bad
Thanks for all the effort you put into showing everyone how things are done and being very blunt and true. I've been watching a lot of your vids and I have learnt a lot. Very Inspiring.
Thanks Pete for being real… enjoy your educational videos…just got out of service and time to live the dream
I love this dude.. been watching him since he was in TX❤ My friend Pete
I have a Binks model 69 and a binks 2000 and a small gun for doing jams hard to reach areas and of course guilty have bought hvlp and Chinese kits 3 guns different tips sizes
This is pure gold. I love people who don't buy and don't sell bullshit to others.
I Love your agitator cup! Your's is only the second one I've ever seen, other than in catalogs. I don't remember the brand I have but it has a magnetic agitator in the bottom.
I started out with a Sharpe in the late 70's and saved up for an MBC. Sharpe became my dedicated primer gun. Now I have a SuperNova and an LPH400. Thanks for all your hard work and advice.
Back when i started in this trade there was one gun Binks#7 that's all you needed. I typed this in before you said that's what you used Amazing.
I used a Snap-On spray gun that was made by Sharpe that I bought when I started going to tech school for auto-body back in 89 and it was still working like new when it was stolen 4 years ago. It just had a perfect feel to it for me and even one of my old bosses preferred how it felt and sprayed over his Binks guns. I only had that one gun for all those years and cleaned it inside and out every time I finished with it. Was it a better quality gun than all others? NO… it just felt it had better fit and balance to me. It’s an individuals personal preference what gun they use. Pete hit it right on the head. A cheap gun can work as well as an expensive one if adjusted right. Go with what feels right to you, and don’t fall into the false belief that each product needs to have a certain gun that is used only for that product.
Just stumbled across this channel and I enjoyed the honest talk, I have two guns a siphon and a backup gravity gun. I'd rather keep it simple.
I settled on sata 4000b rp 1.3 does all I need to do. I have a cheap harbor freight purple gun with 2. Tip for high build. If I had started with the #7 I doubt I would change. 👍🏻
yup with you on a Binks model 7 had one since 1984 and love it
I have a black 62 vw sunroof, painted at a Ford dealership !! yea, painted over the weekend, 20+ years ago, Binks 7 by a friend of mine. Now it is time for me to get a gun, at school, we have SATA. But 700+ plus ??
SATA Mini Jet - Owned it for 25 years and it's absolutely a little gem. You would have to pry it from my hands even after I'm dead.
Pete, what nozzle/tip set-up do you use in your Binks Model 7
Hilarious you whipped out my life's story... #7,Satamini Sata 1st version 2000 pretty much the same. Still use 7 . Never tried the Harbour Freight for liquid bondo going to try
...
This is awesome!! Well said my friend Pete!!
I’m a painter at a used car body shop. There’s times where I have to paint 4 cars at a time (no booth). I can definitely say for someone in my situation. Multiple guns is necessary. Ain’t got all day cleaning a gun in between cars
In that case you should try the PPS system. Cuts clean up time to a minimum.
@@PhillipHall01 PPS is a cup, not a gun. Still have to clean guns you muppet.
@@SOLDOZER
I never said other wise koo koo lol 😊
Yep same here.Especially when using blender for blending in light metallics .Ill have days where I have to paint 3 bumpers ,3 different colors in the same booth.Production is a whole different animal .I can see where Pete is coming from I’d use my LPH400 for everything if I could but 1 gun just wouldn’t work for me especially when I have 4-5 cars a day to paint .
This is the greatest video ever 😅😅 informative but yet honest n funny
is the agitator cup for metal flake? I've shot metal flake for Enterprise Kiosk booths we were building and used HG cheap -$20 purple spray guns... work fine for what i was doing but was hard for me to keep the flake consistent
Pete: "Who needs 14 different kinds of food in your refrigerator, I have one Giant hunk of Bologna and I can eat that fucker for every meal.... cuz I can" Don't be a fuckin showboat kids.
Damn I got a sprayer to return now. Thank you for this honest review.
Pete, with lower fluid and air pressure, can a binks 7 have better efficiency while atomizing the paint? I love my binks 7 just don’t like waiting material. Thanks
I been watching you for a year I learn a lot thanks, I got my little shop and painted a few cars with just two guns 1,3 n 1,4 ur funny bro keep youtubing
Like Pete, he tells it like it is no BS,I got. Straight to the point. Love it 😍
I respect you Pete...I have a ton of guns though so I guess I'm the problem. I really like the Upol primers and Euro clears. I've followed you for years. You and my uncle are cut from the same cloth. That's where I learned the little I know.
I started with a Binks model 7, ever seen the one that heats enamel so it flows, drys as it hits, I have a gun for base coat and one for clear cause I'm lazy, each one set for what I like, and a cheap primer gun, Great video, tells it like it is.
St8 Facts...I've been subed for years and I've been painting for 20+ years. Thanks for always being honest ant str8 to the point💯 ...we prime with supernova at my shop🤷🏾♂️
Pete badass painting cribs and shit. You name it Pete will and have painted it. My man has taught me so much. Keep painting and talking the real sh*t that people need to hear.
😂😂😂 I still watch your channel because you keep it real about the paint life! Honestly I have about 4 guns and that’s the SATA bf RP 2.5 for polyester primers, regular primer gun air gunza 1.8 and my base and clear gun…IWATA LPH400 and SATA 5500 HVLP 1.4. And you are right about being able to use one gun because I’ve used SATA for base and clear as well as the IWATA and the finish was great with both
Thank you for the straight forward explanation!
Seems like all my old guns crapped out all at once....I think they all need new needles....I bought the Black Widow HTE from Harbor Freight with a coupon about a week ago...Could not be more happy...Serious a great gun for $189...Even feels good in your hand
I have my grandfathers binks #7. My dumbass let primer dry in it like 25 years ago. I need to dig it out and try to get it cleaned up and rebuilt.
I wish my friend petes binks 7 could talk
Right on Pete! I have one gun and I have used it for putting finishes on woodworking project and now 2k High Build primer, epoxy sealer, color coat and clear coat. The only thing that I have is a Teflon cup for water base finishes and another one for urethane finishes.
My Binks Gun has been used for everything from house paint to wood deck sealer and it still WORKS LIKE A TANK!
Pete why do you have throw away the guns used for high build primers? Do those primers have something that ruins your gun? Would you use a harbor freight gun like that for high build epoxy primer? I have one devilbis gun and don’t want to ruin it.
Hey Pete is the binks 2001 the same as binks 7?
same here Pete one model 7 and a mpc. the mpc gun i bought 48 years ago model 7 about 40 years ago
I always say the best spray gun is the one that works for you.I don’t need multiple guns but many times I’m spraying multiple colors at the same time especially in a production setting
Awesome video not trying to bring any more confusion to the topic but what can you tell us about conventional spray guns and LVLP (not be confused with HVLP) guns. Maybe this could be a part two video on the subject.
Thank you Pete
That is 🔥 I need my Q50 looking like that
I would love to see you pick up a Binks 2001 and do a review/comparison to modern guns!
Pete you need to make a video on how to clean a spray gun. What do you clean your gun with? And how to take the gun apart and how to put the gun together? Thank you
36 dollar jet tool gun 1.2 tip layed some nice material vrs a 150. Bought 700 what ever devilbis n love it!.
Sir. I have a question. I was out salvaging some post and beams from an old shed. There was a mid 50s chevy in it. The car has a mother of pearl paint job. When I hauled it out and washed her the color is so different from what we know as mother of pearl. The blues and greens with flecks of red are great. Are you able to tell me how they did it? and how might I replicate it? The cars in my garage. The owner said since I bought the building it was my job to scrap her.
You are a CLASSIC 👍Appreciate your advice..Rock On🔥
That intro/rant was super funny 🤣🤣🤣
Pete - Thanks for great video! I'm new to this and just starting to paint with a gun. Could you please do a video on what size tips are preferable and why for different types of paint, epoxy primer, bases, clears? Or do you have to thin your materials to make them work with a particular tip?
I'm not Pete, but I'm sure he would say that the tip size is not as important as the knowledge of how to adjust the gun for the conditions you will be spraying under, and your willingness to adapt to those situations. I personally will tell you that these experts that show you how to open the fluid needle all the way to get the "correct" adjustment are "quacks". Wide open throttle is not the only way to operate a spray gun. Once in the nineties when my primary spray gun was down, I used my Nesco 868 lvlp primer gun with a 1.8 tip for everything. Did I have the fluid wide open? No. Did I run that lvlp gun at 40psi for clearcoat? Absolutely! You're the painter; you make the gun work for you.
@@karsbkool Thanks! Really appreciate your reply. I have plenty to learn.
@@ericmark472 you're certainly welcome. Practice makes perfect. Before you aim the gun at your actual project, make at least 4 passes on a test fender or something with your initial settings and technique to see if it's wet, but not too wet
You have to clean them anyway between stages so it doesn't dry up on ya...so might as well just keep cleaning the same gun over and over.
I appreciate the videos Pete👍
pete someone gave me a binks model 69. should i use it or go new?
I have two a binks 18 and a binks 7 and a 775 sharp have had 35 yesrs
I have some sata 95 and can’t remember the ones and can’t get parts for them anymore so they are outdated! I still have a old number 7 but what could I buy that they will keep making seals needles and heads for? I am old and don’t have the money I used, what can I buy?
I came across someone else’s vid, an old one, where they’re showing a 50’s Buick century in dark green. And who’s dingy old shop is it sitting in? My friend Pete. He wasn’t around but they seemed real impressed
I agree experience is the best but as long as you learn from your mistakes
You do not understand that they ask what gun because they want to achieve a high quality job like the pro's. ie. you. The truth is like you said you have to know your gun and how it sprays. If you suck at spraying with a larger gun and get runs then you need a smaller gun ect. I actually prefer a smaller gun for my projects and I spray each panel separately.
I had no clue what gun to even buy for my first gun or how many I needed. This was a big help.
Glad to help out
If your a beginner I suggest to look into purchasing the Devilbiss STARTER LINE kit which includes 2 guns -- Primer gun -- and a Base Clear Gun with interchangeable needle and nozzle included.. Good Price and great starter product. They also have a 3 gun set that includes the touch up gun!
@@diyautoschool thanks brother
I got a napa, think it was on sale too.
Your Supernova is LS version. This is a base gun. The WS ir for clear. But of course you can spray all with this
And once again- straight up TRUTH
Pete so 1.4 nozzle is the universal nozzle to pretty much spray everything, with the exception of heavy primers use 1.8 nozzle?
