Nice job and good paint gun. Even maybe better than my Iwata AZ4. Just planed to buy second gun. Devilbiss FLG-5, could be the one, but your video maybe change it to R500.
I've been watching your vids for 5 days now and that R500 gun is da bomb. Got my first one today and another one on the way for clearcoat only. Followed all your instructions testing the gun and BAM BAM BAM like I've been painting all my life, and i'm old in my 60's. So pat yourself on the back, give yourself a pay raise, whatever, just do it!🤪🤪🤪
I have noticed one thing you do that many will overlook, GN - you max-out on consumables. No other YT channel uses close to the amount of various consumables you do - you have serious bucks into your basic equipment level, you have so many consumables to hand it is incredible - and also totally smart - I swear daily I will stock up on the silly little stuff that makes all the difference to the outcome of a job, but usually forget/wuss out - you don't, hence the success of your projects.

People overlook just how much having all the correct materials runs to - a testament to how you're doing business right.
You laid that clear down nicely. Also its nice to see a TH-cam painter who understands that you can’t spray to the edge of each panel (because the edge can’t hold as much paint). You should always spray at least a few inches beyond the panel edge so when you hit the next panel your overlap isn’t on the edge where it will run easily. I see so many people on these videos that spray each panel separately. I’ve been painting for 45 years and I’m always surprised to see how many people don’t understand this technique. ( and yes I know if you’re very careful you can get away with the edge to edge method, but why risk it when there’s no benefit to it?)Keep up the good video’s! 16:56
Thank you for your dedication to teaching us novices. I’m in the middle of a full restoration and enjoyed how you explained your finishing techniques and the quality of the gun and paint products.
Great Gun, I bought these when they 1st came out for only $35 . They also have different tip sizes, 1.3 1.7 2.0 But at that price got 4 guns 1 primer base ,clear, and Flakes
Hi Chris, new subscriber here from the UK, I'm a DIY/Hobby painter doing my thing in my workshop with a homemade booth setup in the corner of my little workshop. Have to say there was some really good info in your video the base went down really flat with that gun and the Upol clearcoat looks really glassy, the Upol clear is not the easiest clear to use so you did an amazing job with it, I'll be watching more of your videos🙏👏👍John UK
Chris, Just wanted to drop you a quick line to tell you my first paint job went “well”. There is a slight possibility I have a few little runs, and maybe even a sag or two, but I’ve decided to leave it alone and use it as a great learning experience. See, another good this about your videos, I could identify how I screwed up, and what to do to not do it again. I can’t tell you how much I really appreciated your assistance in answering my questions and giving me great tutorials prior to me attempting this project. Once I roll it out and get all the stuff back on it I’ll send you a picture. Again, Thank you so much for everything. YOU ARE THE MAN!!
Howdy from SW Oklahoma. I used this gun for the first time today based on your recommendation. Once I figured out I had a bad Harbor Freight Digital regulator and replaced it with my old 3M regulator it worked perfect for some base coat and satin clear on the backside of a couple fenders and a hood. Thanks for the great videos!!
Awesome! I love this gun. I only recommend tools and products I use and believe in. I take it seriously, the last thing I want to do is recommend a bad product ot tool. Thanks for the feedback and the support!
i'm not a painter and bought this gun to spray clear with colour shift blue pearl flake over black raptor liner, wish me luck, your video convinced me to buy
The link was for a 1.3 Tip which I didn’t notice until after I bought it. Do we need the other Tips and if so how do I buy them or should I buy the Gun with 3 tips and return this 1.3 Tip Gun?
I’ve painted probably a dozen cars with this gun. And its baby sister the 33000. Easy to maintain, and sprays really well. A little heavier than the pro guns. I will buy another for sure. Great video btw with a lot of valuable tips and tricks. Thanks man
i have 2 of these that i use to spray water based finishes on cabinetry. really like the gun. easy to clean and use. plus at $90 CDN way cheaper than a fuji HVLP at $1500 good video with lots of information
Yep, I own 2 of the spray-it 35000s or rp500s.. great gun, I use it with a 30 gal older craftsmen compressor, but it will work with a 10 gal, 6 gal if u have to lol. But 6 n 10 gal will run constantly but without much appreciable loss of cfm at the gun👍
I just got one of those R500. It is a match to my eastwood gun. The only difference that I could find is that the knobs on the R500 are aluminum where the eastwood feels like it is made of better material. Time will tell how the threads on the volume knob hold up with taking the gun apart to clean. Another great video, thanks again.
Rong Peng is the manufacturer of this gun they produce it for others to rebrand. I like the looks and finish of the lt 100 better. Appreciate your comment and support brother!
New subscriber to your channel. Great video. Are you using the 1.3 tip that comes with the gun for the primer, paint, and clear coat or do you need to change for each product?
@@sheldoncooper6230 I use the 1.3 for everything, well except the filler primer. I found that the filler primer was a little too thick for the 1.3 so I used a 1.7.
Great looking paint job. I am glad Brian from Paint Society recommend your channel. Garage or big open shop painting is how I learned years ago. I am trying to get back to it and learn these modern guns. Our go to was the old Binks model 7.
Lol, I remember the old binks guns. I never sprayed one but people would swear by them. Appreciate you checking out the channel! Brian's always supported the channel and a lot of creators in this niche.
You can get an adapter to run the harbor freight disposable cup liner kit in this gun. I’m not sure how it compares to the savito kit, but it’s another cheap option.
My garage rule is low overspray so i'm selling all my guns that fog it up. Turbine is lowest overspray, but if using a compressor, I want that gun that can run at lower pressure, minimize fog, and atomize well. R500 is capable of that. Can paint with a 21 gallon as well. Still runs a lot, but does pretty well.
Appreciate the follow up with showing this gun putting down a drop coat. I'm sold. I don't have room for a large compressor but can definitely do a 20-30 gallon. Thank you!
Hi Chris, Great video Buddy. I did something I have never done and ordered the gun directly from China, ALIBABA Express. The spray gun comes with 4 tips and I ordered the adapter with cups. The entire order cost $100 including shipping. It will take 3 weeks to arrive as it has to go through customs. As they say buyer beware but I will let you know when it arrives. I have 4 steel rims to paint so that will be my first test with the spray gun. Early Feb. and temp dependent too. Been cold here in CO.
I've always wanted to order from Alinaba they have some great deals on frame equipment but uneasy about it. A inexpensive paint gun is a good test. I never wanted to wait for the shipping tho. Let me know how it goes. Appreciate the comment and support brother!
@@GarageNoise You bet Chris! I have to say so far ALIBABA Express has sent me daily updates on where my order is. Not a black hole. But I will keep you informed. Feb. 5th is when it should arrive at my house.
OK, took your advice and ordered an R500. Just did my first clear coat with the 1.3 and I must say it sprayed beyond my expectations. It sprayed as well as my old Binks #7, which used to be the standard for us old-timey types back in the 80's. For you youngsters out there, if you've never shot a high pressure gun, it's the standard by which all else is judged. But...overspray is a serious problem. You haven't seen overspray until you use one. Any they are heavy.
@@davemcaferty6347 Here's my $.02...this is probably paint heresy but... I don't really pay much attention to PSI. I pattern the gun before every shoot meaning I adjust the psi and the spray...but I don't have a gauge on the gun. I just see how it patterns on cardboard and how it looks when I hold the gun perpendicular to a light source. Then I pay close attention to how the the paint is laying down on the surface. That requires good lighting. And no matter how good the gun, you are not going to do as good a job on the first paint job as the tenth. You have to get to know your equipment.
I do have one of these, speed is one thing I do best, it's ok for small repairs but for bigger jobs I like a better covering gun just have to remember when painting or clearing witch gun im using !
Great video. I just bought a R500 LVLP gun which I'll use to paint my 66 Mustang. Never done this before so these videos definitely help...Thanks. Question - is there an upper end time limit for letting coats flash off?
Basecoat flashtimes are typically around 24hrs but I personally wouldn't wait past a couple hour. Check your manufacturer's technical data sheet. Clearcoat needs to be more precise about 10 mins if you wait too long you can get dye back or loss of gloss. If you coat too quickly solvent pops. Some clears are more temperamental than others. Appreciate the comment and support!
Sometimes we can’t get these motor home rear caps unless we go salvage yard hunting and crate fees and shipping are into the 1500 range so we do things we have to do and as long as we stand behind our work our reputation stays good! Love your break down of the whole repair! Great job once again! Hope y’all had a great Christmas!! Ps I tape adjacent panels when I spray sealer I feel that trying to cover a haze line in my blend panels causing me to move my base too far into the blend panels. Everything else you did beautiful
I have and love my R500. I am naturally a slow painter. Thank you for over view ofR500. Question: I put some small spots of bondo on a panel with a spray can of primer over bondo. Can I use urethane paint over the primer or do I reprime with a two part primer? Thank you for your knowledge and expertise!
Love your channel. I started out painting in 75 but somehow 25yrs ago I started metal works and now it's all big wrecks. Since I started watching your channel my home shop is backup and running and producing paint work again. My r500 lplv just came today can't wait to try it. What cup system are you using and thanx for the inspiration
That digital air pressure regulator that you are using. I used to get those at harbor freight and it seems they no longer carry those. I really liked them I only have one do you know where we can get more??
First time on your site. Getting back to painting. Was using a binks #5 gun old school and in the market to buy a gravity spray gun. I've been shopping around but I liked what I saw on your site. Are all paint cup liners the same?
They offer different sizes and brands. The series 1 disposable cups are what you want they cost less and work great. There all similar but inter mixing liners between brands may be a problem.
I bought the R500 and used all the setting you mentioned and same distance and speed movement. For some reason I’m getting tons of orange peel ! I’ve tried this gun several times on different occasions and still get tons of orange peel. So on the last coat I decided to switch guns to the Porphis-715 And I saw a huge improvement very little orange peel. Not sure what’s going on
You have used the R500 quite a bit. I’m bought one with your review and love it. I use it on wood projects and on my truck finish. Recommend it highly. I have question about your word (drop coat)? What do you mean?
Nice to see Chris your using the PPS cup system mines started to leak 7 times there going to send me a free box out that what I do Chris lift it out off the cup 🥤 and check it 😀 good idea that 👍
Hi, thx a lot for this vid! Just ordered the gun. Ive always loved polishing paints but now ive bought a motorcycle with some optical damage, its time to expand the fun. I live small (the netherlands) but i see you hardly use coverage in your garage. No ventilation as well am i right? Does the overspray spread that little?
I recently bought the version of this gun that comes with three nozzle sizes. I can't wait to try it out shooting primer on my Belair. Hello from Tulsa. Also do you use any of the Roberlo products from Coops?
I have, I used alot of the me1 primer I like it. I switched to the upol primer tho. Most of the bodyfiller I've tried I haven't sprayed the clearcoat. I like their tape as well I'm always testing different products. Appreciate the support!
Just found this channel. Love this video and subscribed! I bought 2 sprayit guns last year and am planning to paint my hood in the garage when the weather is warmer. Whats your opinion on the O'Reillys paint that youre using compared to more expensive brands?
Awesome! Welcome to the community! I really like the nason xl, better coverage than standard nason. Better color match than some more expensive brands. Appreciate the comment and thanks for the support!
This gun works great for spot jobs, because it uses less air and less material, it takes longer to spray coats. I like to spray fast, I have a high volume low pressure spray gun.
1.3 for all primer bases and clear Chris is that what your saying? Ps fab videos your content and real info are great that's what home garage guys want 🙋
Good tips on how to use the Spray-it👍With documented paint savings I should be using it more for those cheap jobs where I only have a pint or half pint of paint for a repair area. Totally unrelated, but I just bought and hooked up 50 foot of Flexilla hose and a Flexilla leader with a swivel. My opinion, Very nice flexible, cold resistant air line perfect for DIY/home-based business. Amazon purchase.
@@GarageNoise what they claim. Some kind of composite material. They have a promo burying it in the snow w other hoses. I guess it stays 'flexxy" My garage gets plenty cold when i'm not in it, so seemed like a good choice.
Quick question. When you say small compressor, how many gallons and psi do you need? Plan on doing a mobile set up that I can run out of my ford expedition. Most of my clients have sealed garages. What size hose and compressor do you recommend?
Btw Chris, what type of primer should I use on bare metal? can I just use 2k urethane or epoxy is a must. New to car painting and I am starting to gather my supplies.
Are you painting the whole car or just a repair? If your just doing a repair and painting a few panels 2k urethane is perfect. If your doing a full paint and you plan on it sitting in primer for awhile than use epoxy as soon as you take a panel to bare metal the clock is ticking to get it into primer. If you plan on painting it within a few months and it's not out in the elements tthan 2k urethane is great and what i perfer. Hope this helps appreciate the comment and support!
My car has crow feet in the front hood and back fender. Based on the forum I read, it says that I need to strip the paint to bare metal and there is now way to correct crow feet.
When I use a tack/wax cloth after a wipe it leaves wax residue that can make paint bubble. This is the first time I've seen this done last. No bubbles? Issues? I like to do a final wipe with wax and tar remover then shoot. Thanks
Hi! What nozzle size would you recomend for epoxi primer? They sell this gun with 1.3 ; 1.4 ; 1.5 ; 1.7 and 2.0. I do rather small stuff like motorcycle gastanks and fenders and I I'm also limited by little 6 gallon compressor with 3,5 cfm. For clear coat and base I use Iwata LPH 80 and thick primer is a bit too much for it. Cheers!
Look up the technical data sheet for the epoxy primer your using it will give you a good recommendation for tip size. I feel like a 1.7 would be sufficient for epoxy tho. Appreciate the comment and support!

Sometimes we can’t get these motor home rear caps unless we go salvage yard hunting and crate fees and shipping are into the 1500 range so we do things we have to do and as long as we stand behind our work our reputation stays good! Love your break down of the whole repair! Great job once again! Hope y’all had a great Christmas!! Ps I tape adjacent panels when I spray sealer I feel that trying to cover a haze line in my blend panels causing me to move my base too far into the blend panels. Everything else you did beautiful
This is awesome... exactly what gun I need for my little job... thanks

Good job man, white is hard to spray. I appreciate the review of the gun.
Thank you! Appreciate the comment and support!
I like how you blend the color !
Thank's brother!
Great video as usual! What adapter do you us for the Savito cups?
I got mine at harbor freight. I can't find it online but it's a 3/8 female adapter. Hope this helps appreciate the support!
Amazing little gun.
👍
I have and love my R500. I am naturally a slow painter. Thank you for over view ofR500. Question: I put some small spots of bondo on a panel with a spray can of primer over bondo. Can I use urethane paint over the primer or do I reprime with a two part primer?
Thank you for your knowledge and expertise!
I wouldn't take the chance Robert. I'd san of the 1k and reprimer with 2k. Appreciate the support!
Good video 📹 very well explained thanks for sharing that Chris
Glad you enjoyed it, appreciate the support brother!
great videos Chris, i am going to buy one of these spray guns, what tip size would you recommend for 2k Solid colors with no clear?
1.3 or 1.4
I purchased on used it yesterday great results u can also buy the tip kit for it I sprayed flake out it so far so good
Thanks for sharing
Love your channel. I started out painting in 75 but somehow 25yrs ago I started metal works and now it's all big wrecks. Since I started watching your channel my home shop is backup and running and producing paint work again. My r500 lplv just came today can't wait to try it. What cup system are you using and thanx for the inspiration
Thank's brother appreciate it!
That digital air pressure regulator that you are using. I used to get those at harbor freight and it seems they no longer carry those. I really liked them I only have one do you know where we can get more??
What water filter is that going to order gun but can’t find that water seperator
First time on your site. Getting back to painting. Was using a binks #5 gun old school and in the market to buy a gravity spray gun. I've been shopping around but I liked what I saw on your site. Are all paint cup liners the same?
They offer different sizes and brands. The series 1 disposable cups are what you want they cost less and work great. There all similar but inter mixing liners between brands may be a problem.
That is a beautiful paint job!
Thank you! Cheers!
I bought the R500 and used all the setting you mentioned and same distance and speed movement. For some reason I’m getting tons of orange peel !
I’ve tried this gun several times on different occasions and still get tons of orange peel.
So on the last coat I decided to switch guns to the Porphis-715
And I saw a huge improvement very little orange peel. Not sure what’s going on
Thank's allways helpfull.Good painting .
My pleasure 😊
New subscriber to your channel. Awesome videos. Thank you.
Thanks for the sub!
Great video. You make it look easy. Question, what gun do you use for primer gun. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I use the 3m performance or the 3m accuspray with a 1.4 or 1.6 tip. Mainly because it's simple to clean. Appreciate the comment and support!
You have used the R500 quite a bit. I’m bought one with your review and love it. I use it on wood projects and on my truck finish. Recommend it highly.
I have question about your word (drop coat)? What do you mean?
Great to hear!
Another great video! What size tip did you use for each process (sealer, base coat, and clear)?
1.3 for all
16:52
Nice to see Chris your using the PPS cup system mines started to leak 7 times there going to send me a free box out that what I do Chris lift it out off the cup 🥤 and check it 😀 good idea that 👍
👍
Hi, thx a lot for this vid! Just ordered the gun. Ive always loved polishing paints but now ive bought a motorcycle with some optical damage, its time to expand the fun. I live small (the netherlands) but i see you hardly use coverage in your garage. No ventilation as well am i right? Does the overspray spread that little?
I have a couple exhaust fans. Nothing special tho
I recently bought the version of this gun that comes with three nozzle sizes. I can't wait to try it out shooting primer on my Belair. Hello from Tulsa. Also do you use any of the Roberlo products from Coops?
I have, I used alot of the me1 primer I like it. I switched to the upol primer tho. Most of the bodyfiller I've tried I haven't sprayed the clearcoat. I like their tape as well I'm always testing different products. Appreciate the support!
i just picked up this gun today on amazon prime with three tops for $59.
👍
@@GarageNoise what adapter for the one time paint cups?
Really good finish and I use a gun very similar if not the same gun
Thank's brother! Appreciate the comment and support!
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been struggling with finding the right settings for this gun 👍
Just found this channel. Love this video and subscribed! I bought 2 sprayit guns last year and am planning to paint my hood in the garage when the weather is warmer. Whats your opinion on the O'Reillys paint that youre using compared to more expensive brands?
Awesome! Welcome to the community! I really like the nason xl, better coverage than standard nason. Better color match than some more expensive brands. Appreciate the comment and thanks for the support!
This gun works great for spot jobs, because it uses less air and less material, it takes longer to spray coats. I like to spray fast, I have a high volume low pressure spray gun.
Thank's for sharing, appreciate the support brother!
1.3 for all primer bases and clear Chris is that what your saying? Ps fab videos your content and real info are great that's what home garage guys want 🙋
1.3 for primer can be small . For primer I use a 1.4 or 1.6 with the 3m performance gun. For sealer ,base and clear 1.3 is fine.
Good tips on how to use the Spray-it👍With documented paint savings I should be using it more for those cheap jobs where I only have a pint or half pint of paint for a repair area.
Totally unrelated, but I just bought and hooked up 50 foot of Flexilla hose and a Flexilla leader with a swivel. My opinion, Very nice flexible, cold resistant air line perfect for DIY/home-based business. Amazon purchase.
Thanks brother, appreciate it. I have one of those flexzilla air lines had no idea it was cold resistant.
@@GarageNoise what they claim. Some kind of composite material. They have a promo burying it in the snow w other hoses. I guess it stays 'flexxy"
My garage gets plenty cold when i'm not in it, so seemed like a good choice.
Great work always good job
Appreciate that
awesome video great help. where did you get the adaptor to use the cup system you have in the video
Harbor freight spectrum #57505
Thanks for the tip about the gun. What adaptor does it use for the cup system ?
Phillip Hall
Wow, the paint and finish looks wonderful. I’m going to have to try that gun out.
You won't be disappointed! Appreciate your support!
Are you changing out different needles for primer sealer base and clear? What needles are you using ?
Same needdle and tip for everything. 1.3 tip
Quick question. What adapter are you using for the cup system?
Spectrum 57505 from harbor freight orThe 3m legacy #2 adapter
I learnt a lot from this channel. But I was wondering what type of respirator filters do you use.
Disposable 3m
Quick question. When you say small compressor, how many gallons and psi do you need? Plan on doing a mobile set up that I can run out of my ford expedition. Most of my clients have sealed garages. What size hose and compressor do you recommend?
Check out my tomorrow's video it's on exactly this topic.
You done a great job , nice gun
👍
Nice job!
I just bought one for me!
Can you tell me the type of the cup adapter?
Spectrum 57507 harbor freight or 3m legacy #2 adapter
@@GarageNoise 16x1.5mm or 14x1mm?
Unsure bother. Sorry
@@expertcarpainter1373 it's a 16x1.5mm
Btw Chris, what type of primer should I use on bare metal? can I just use 2k urethane or epoxy is a must. New to car painting and I am starting to gather my supplies.
Are you painting the whole car or just a repair? If your just doing a repair and painting a few panels 2k urethane is perfect. If your doing a full paint and you plan on it sitting in primer for awhile than use epoxy as soon as you take a panel to bare metal the clock is ticking to get it into primer. If you plan on painting it within a few months and it's not out in the elements tthan 2k urethane is great and what i perfer. Hope this helps appreciate the comment and support!
My car has crow feet in the front hood and back fender. Based on the forum I read, it says that I need to strip the paint to bare metal and there is now way to correct crow feet.
Sir, what tip size ?
I'm looking at the same gun at princess auto it comes with a 1.5 in their package
Sorry friend, what is the brand or name of clear coat that you use??
Here I'm using upol spot panel clear. amzn.to/3X5mtNB
I've ordered , I'm painting a GM Herron white 2pack no clear
Awesome!
When I use a tack/wax cloth after a wipe it leaves wax residue that can make paint bubble. This is the first time I've seen this done last. No bubbles? Issues? I like to do a final wipe with wax and tar remover then shoot. Thanks
It can leave residue. I lightly wipe and don't have a problem.
Hi! What nozzle size would you recomend for epoxi primer? They sell this gun with 1.3 ; 1.4 ; 1.5 ; 1.7 and 2.0. I do rather small stuff like motorcycle gastanks and fenders and I I'm also limited by little 6 gallon compressor with 3,5 cfm. For clear coat and base I use Iwata LPH 80 and thick primer is a bit too much for it. Cheers!
Look up the technical data sheet for the epoxy primer your using it will give you a good recommendation for tip size. I feel like a 1.7 would be sufficient for epoxy tho. Appreciate the comment and support!
Hi,
Where did you get the adaptor for the gun so you could use the disposable cups?
thx wes
