I think your paint job looks good for the weather conditions you had to work with and being your first paint job.I give you credit for doing a project this big.
I've done 3 paint jobs in the past. This is the first time I've used the Drizzle D1. Gotta say, I'm super happy with the result. I've got a 60 gal compressor, and it has no issues at all running this little gun - to get the whole car shot in 1 go.
That’s awesome to hear. I have the guns that family and friends have gifted me but I always choose to use my Drizzle. I’m just comfortable with it. And I have an 80 gallon and it rarely has to come on when I spray., thanks for your comment 👍🏽👍🏽
Looks amazing I got this same gun seen it n Amazon ordered it before pharrway review then I seen his review and was glad I ordered it and I'm glad I watched yours you did amazing for first time hope my first one comes out as good as yours
Yeah when I saw his review, I was hesitant, but I bit the bullet and bought it and I’m glad I did. It’s definitely a Beginner Friendly paint gun. I hope it works for you like it did for me. Good Luck, I’m sure yours will look great too. 👍🏽👍🏽
I returned in within a week. It's a r500 style gun that are all over Amazon. But they all spray badly imo I've bought about 5 types of brands and all kind of suck the aeropro A608 A610 where the best for the buck
I just got this gun and sprayed a hood and a bedside (clear coat) Used my cheaper R 500 for base. Really enjoy this gun. Got a real nice finish with 3 coats on the hood. Someone else commented about having 5 of the R500 type guns and none of them sprayed well??? I don't get that at all. Might not be the gun.... Ole Bondo Billy has used them for 20 years for everything! Show winning classic cars. So it ain't the gun, its the hand holding the gun.
Thank You for your comment, I glad to to hear the gun work great for you, when I sprayed my Single Stage, I was in awe, cause that was my first hand at spraying and it worked great for me also. Yeah I like watching Billy’s videos , sad to hear he’s loosing his eye site.
Looks great! I got one of those guns, but haven't been able to test since it got chilly where I live. Can't wait 'til it warms up a little bit. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, yeah it is a great beginner gun , and for never painting before, I was able to spray my truck and feel like a pro. I’m also anxious to get back to painting, but like you, just too cold. I hope it works for you like it did for me, good luck. Come on Spring 🤣
I returned one, dripped, wasted a bunch of paint, needle and nozzle both correct size, tight, leaked with control all the way in or out just a lemon I guess, got a similar but different gun and it ran fine today
@@charlesloar3210 Thank You for watching. The color is actually, “ PERFORMANCE RED “ Single Stage from Summit Racing. I just have crappy recording equipment 🤷🏽♂️ Thank You again. More videos to come.
Hello EngTeacher sorry for the late response, & thank you for reaching out. Yes so the gun absolutely shot like a professional style spray gun, and what I have for my air supply is a . “ 80 Gallon , INGERSOL RAND AIR COMPRESSOR. “ I hope this helps you. And maybe we’ll see you in October for the next C10’s ON THE RIVER,
I was RREALLY interested in your thoughts on this gun. I ended up buying a Black Widow HVLP (with additional HTE 1.3 needle and tip extra), and am looking forward to painting my 2nd car. First one I used a Harbor Freight Spectrum, and it worked quite well. I'm a learning old fart. And just having a blast doing it. I'm restoring my 89 Toronado, which I FINALLY got the electronics in it repaired, which then meant a full on restoration. New subscriber!
Thank You @JohnnieBravo1 for your support and comment. I myself don’t have a Black Widow, so I honestly can’t say, I don’t have any Harbor Freight spray guns but from what I’ve seen as in reviews from other painter who do use it , it seems to be a great gun for being a Harbor Freight product. I have multiple Harbor Freight products but I haven’t tried their Spray guns . I do like that gun company’s add the extra needles to their package. But For me personally it comes down to, I have two brands of guns that work just fine for my needs so I don’t feel the need for more. Now if I did paint for a living, I definitely would have bought multiple brands to tryout, but I’m just a Retired Old Fart keeping myself entertained while I live out the rest of my days. And I’m restoring my 63 by trial and error cause I’ve never done this. I’m sorry I couldn’t be more helpful and looking forward to seeing that Toronado.
@@theoldfartsgarage Thank you for your kind response! I'm also just an old retired fart, fooling around in my shop, keeping myself entertained (and learning). I keep telling everybody, it helps keep me from hanging out in bars and chasing loose wimmens, although there could be some advantage to doing that. Looking through your repertoire of videos, it appears we're into lots of the same things.... old cars, trucks, motorcycles, pressure washers, mowers, etc. Gotta keep that Grim Reaper headed the other way long as we can!
HAHAHA! yes sir definitely keeps me out of trouble. see we grew up in a time when we actually used our common sense to build or fix things . there's just no joy in sitting in front of the TV all day just wasting time . I'd rather sit in front of my workbench tearing something apart or making something functional. AH Life Is Good.
Yes, because when spraying pressure is usually between 18-30 pounds. I started with a Craftsman 25gallon and it worked fine, the only con for me using that small of an air compressor is that your compressor is going to be running continuously and at max capacity and your going to have to constantly keep an eye on your air pressure . But again that was my problem. I hope this answers your questions. Good Luck
Honestly by my experience I can say that it really wasn’t bad at all. Now granted This is my very first paint job I’ve ever done. But with that for it being my first paint job, because of the simplicity of using the gun , and how good my paint job came out, it has boosted my confidence in knowing that I can do this.
I think your paint job looks good for the weather conditions you had to work with and being your first paint job.I give you credit for doing a project this big.

Awesome job 👍👍👍.
I think you've done excellent for a first attempt at painting.
Love the colour too.

What psi did you spray at? The instructions state 40 psi but everyone i watch recommends 25 or less
@@TOLDyouSOagain you can get away with lower pressure for basecoat. Clear 30 psi. Single stage I would go even higher to minimize orange peel.
@BrandonCartwright04 I set my psi at 30 and it did just fine.

Really like the color. Looks like Kubota Bright Orange to me. First time here. Good Video.

from 1 old fart to another 1st time is not bad at all a bit of sanding with 2000 and polish you,ll look like a pro keep it up
Cressey California with the C10s on the River is about 50 miles north of my location. Good info on the paint gun. what did you use for air.

Great job looking forward to seeing it done I bought I
Thank you. And I hope your paint gun works as well for you as it did for me. 👍🏽👍🏽
Looks great!
Thank You Sir 😊
What size air compressor did you use? Very good job!! Looks good!
3M PPS 2.0 Spray Gun Adapter S35, 26130
Have you ever added a extra 20 gallon tank to a 20 gallon compressor?
No I haven't sorry. I have a 80 gal. for my air supply.
Seemed to spray out pretty decent ....what was price of the gun?
yes it did , I was very impressed with it and very pleased.
$100.00 on Amazon. The link is in the description.
Sir, I have a 50-pound pressure compressor with a four-gallon tank. Will this work for this gun? Can I paint my Pilot?
Yes, because when spraying pressure is usually between 18-30 pounds. I started with a Craftsman 25gallon and it worked fine, the only con for me using that small of an air compressor is that your compressor is going to be running continuously and at max capacity and your going to have to constantly keep an eye on your air pressure . But again that was my problem. I hope this answers your questions. Good Luck
@@theoldfartsgarage thank you.
Hi mate, from where did you bought it?
@@drornadav2064
Amazon
a.co/d/0LxPwzT
What size compressor did you use
I have an 80gal. 7.5 hp. Ingersoll Rand
do you remember settings
I used the 1.3 , at 25-27 psi. With air flow and paint wide open.
How was the overspray?
Honestly by my experience I can say that it really wasn’t bad at all. Now granted This is my very first paint job I’ve ever done. But with that for it being my first paint job, because of the simplicity of using the gun , and how good my paint job came out, it has boosted my confidence in knowing that I can do this.
@theoldfartsgarage heck yeah! I think I'm going to buy one
I really hope it works for you as good as it did for me. 👍🏽👍🏽
