Not sure if I was more excited about the advice, or the Nintendo GameCube in the background, boxed like mine! Another awesome video gunman! Thanks heaps from the East side!
I like my Iwata ls400 supernova. Mainly because I'm a aircraft mechanic but I do a lot of small parts painting on aircraft parts hanging on racks. We shoot single stage urethane paints. With Sherman Williams mil spec and super Koropon as a primer. The gun lays Koropon wonderfully and when I have to needle down to shoot inside bores and such it works wonderfully. I like my hvlp gun because it blows the small little dainty parts around less when you're trying to hold them still with safety wire. HVLP guns serve their purpose but they aren't for everyone. The only issue I ever seem to have a problem with is trying to get it to lay mil spec primer nicely.
gunman, I am not a professional spray painter, I do some spraying based on your teaching and recommendations, i bought one of the cheap devil/biss spray guns, as i see it i could'nt care less what they call the spray guns, late for dinner will do, as all i do is put paint in one end and it comes out the other and it gives an excellent finish.
HVLP guns caused a lot of trouble for me for many years, mostly due to a smaller air compressor. I prefer RP technology as well. For less experienced painters and DIY guys it's RP guns all the way. My advice to them is get a good RP gun and learn to mix up just enough material to minimize waste. This is where you have the most control over overall efficiency until you have mastered the trade. I wish I had watched this vid 20yrs ago ! Thanks Gunman ! 👍
Hi. good info thanks! what would you recommend for using on a construction site (houses and Appts) ? for undercoating (With oil based U Coat) frames,doors skirtings spindles and hand-rails ? I would like to put a finish coat on but am not sure if it would be a 'good enough finish' thank you in advance
Hi there. I am a bit late to this video. Thanks for all of the information. You have helped me a great deal with what you have shared. I mainly spray nitrocellulose lacquer and paint on guitars and furniture that I make. Your tips and tricks in your videos have definitely made me a better sprayer. Thank you. I wanted to point out that your advice here not to get HVLP guns for home use should be aimed more at those who may be considering spraying a car or larger objects. If you consider the midi and mini size guns for smaller projects this doesn't apply. I have a small SIP T3/25D compressor at my home that is only 25 Ltr = 5.5 Gallon and runs at about 5.5 CFM. This is fine for the smaller HVLP guns like the A.N.I. R150 and R160 that I have. ( I bought the A.N.I. guns from Sprayguns Direct after your reviews and demonstrations ). I also have Walcom Slim STM's and SATA Minijets. These are all HVLP. They lay the paint and clear on like glass and don't require a large compressor. For the home user that don't need to spray large objects like a complete car any of these would be fine. I have found the smaller Walcom, A.N.I. and SATA Minijets to be very versatile and as you know from your demo's with the A.N.I. midi size guns they can do car panels and give pro results if you know what you are doing, as you do. I agree with you regarding the full size guns. I have a Devilbiss GTI suction fed and a SATA LM2000B RP that I use with an old Ingersol Rand belt drive compressor that runs at about 15 CFM. Works great with the larger guns. Like you, for the larger guns I prefer the feel of the RP cap for the SATA LM and the Transtech cap for the GTI. I do have the HVLP caps for both but I definitely prefer the feel and finish I get with the RP and the Transtech. I don't see that there is much of an advantage with compressor requirements as setups for both guns require the around the same level of air displacement. If I were to choose to keep one compressor for spraying it would be the Ingersol Rand. I got the smaller compressor as it is portable and I sometimes use it with my airtools around the home. It was a bonus that it could drive the smaller spray guns without the compressor straining. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and experience. It really is much appreciated.
great video! Your comments regarding pro vs dyi equipment id right on. i have a 30 gallon compressor ..and a decent mid range “hvlp” after getting erratic air flow, water vapor, etc. --and horrible results...I finally went to a 5 stage turbine sprayer. dry consistent air -only 9 psi..but 105 CFM. results have been great. I’ve painted two cars using single stage urethane and high solid clear..both fantastic..at least compared with my earlier efforts. I’ll never be as good as you...but your videos-especially your orange peel video have helped me immensely
The quality of finish I get along with the ease of use and clean up more than make up for the amount of paint I use. I will never put my Binks Model-7 down. Thanks.
Size tip it come with ? Do they offer different size tips for it ,?? Do u base coat or CC with the Binks,? Is that a gravity or suct. Fed ? What's the price for it ?
@@dewaynebraley2820 They usually come with a medium tip good for lacquers, primers, epoxies, urethanes and clear coats. There are 3 tip sizes good for everything from shellacs up to house paints. It's a siphon feed gun. I shoot base coats and clear with the medium tip. I have shot hundreds of cars over the last 36 years with the same gun I own now. I've been using a Binks #7 since I started custom painting in 1976. The gun will shoot all sizes of metal flake also. Look for a used one that's been kept clean on ebay to save some money. They don't wear out so a rebuild kit will usually get them going like new. Hope this helps.
You just rescued me from buying a 400$ hvlp. I do own a conventional gun from 2008 price range at 120$ with 1.3 and I paint my beetles as an amateur painter. I still got some orange peal that I can't solve but I try to learn from your videos..
From one pro painter to another my friend love your vids u break them down for everyone that doesn’t quite pay attention to understand an catch before jumping in it I’ve seen a lot of ppl make those mistakes watching vids thinking no big deal jump in it an mess shit up bad so it’s nice to see someone that actually knows what they’re talking about giving ppl tips on how not to blow there money keep up the work bro would love to hook up with ya if you in the US sometime an throw down some paint an create a color or two for a nice project my hat off to ya bro great work great videos
The Gunman Yeah the gunman I love my LVLP's I swear it gives such a great finish. I want to send you one to do a review on. You might have seen them or heard of them a bit. ATOM X Line? I've got the X20 MP LVLP and about to pre-order the X27 MP LVLP which is actually a clone of the Sata 5000 except the air valve is in a different spot or so I heard atleast. Tony from learn auto body and paint channel promotes them and for the price they definitely seem like a well made quality gun to me but I've never owned or even held a devilbiss pro-lite or anything else considered top notch guns. I did get to hold and feel the Walcom Genesis Carbino and loved the way that trigger felt but that's it. It would be sweet to see you spray with them guns and see what you think of the price vs. Quality and the finishes you can get with them. I basically learned spraying with these guns well actually still learning only been painting 6 months or so now. Mainly the same cars panels like 8 different times haha damn Honda Accord 2009 with Alabaster Silver Metallic one hell of a color to learn how to not only paint but learn body work for my first time. Haha
I’ve got one of those Harbor Freight special guns and it’s no prize but I got the kinks worked out of it after some modifications and it have sprayed epoxy, 2k, base, and clear with it and its 1.4mm tip and was able to get a surface with every little orange peel. There is no doubt that it is a cheap gun, and like I said I did have to do some work to it to make it function correctly but it works for a hobbyist like me.
I've been spraying for 2.5 years full time in the US. We use Cromax solvent base and I for some reason prefer using hv30 for heavy metallic colors but that's about it. We also do a shitload of full respray 2k direct gloss color/single stage (it's one of those budget Maaco shops, gotta start somewhere lol) and I will use te20 for that all day long. Iwata lph-400 hvlp for sealer/wet on wet, and ws400 or te20 for clear. Those two instances where I like using hvlp, I actually do find I save a tiny amount of paint but it's laughable like you said. Maybe half an oz
David Westernall thanks man, most people just give me shit when they here about where I work. I'm fortunate to work at one of the better maacos in my area. I was given the opportunity to take over the previous painters position after only working in a body shop as a prepper for about a month. I hopped on that and turns out I was pretty good and have some natural talent. I have no official education or certifications, all self taught and some training through Axalta reps. My end goal is to work here another year or two just to have the length of experience under my belt, get certified, then move on to a higher end facility. I really want to get into strictly collision repair and insurance work, enough of this full respray with cheap paint for 300$ 😂😂
Just want to ask you a question is maaco realy that bad or is it just a bit of a bad reputation i watch some videos on youtube about maaco and what i have seen its not the best but for 300 to 500 bucks you should not even complain 😉i am from europ so something like maaco is unknow to us i worked in a lower and shop for 2 years to and now i work in a higer end colision and insurance workshop we use cromax pro waterbase
kevin hekers it's all going to depend on the location and attitude/willingness to work of the employees. Most of the Maacos are franchised owned like a McDonald's.. you may have a really good or really bad experience. The one I work for is hands down the best in my area, we fix a lot of the other Maacos shit jobs lol. You just need to understand that when you go to Maaco, you get what you pay for. 300$ full respray pretty much covers the cost of paint and materials for us and that's about it. Nothing is removed, de trimmed, repaired (dents, dings, rock chips, peeling paint) unless the customer is paying for any of that to be done, which starts to up the price, but also quality of the finish a lot.
kevin hekers there's a maaco about 15 minutes down the road from us that will red Scotch Brite the entire vehicle and paint right over top... We don't do that, everything is DA sanded smooth with at least 320 grit
Ryan Johnston thanks for reacting we do alot of insurance work so if there are any stone chips scratches small dents arround the area that will get basecoat on we fix it if its in a blend panel we might push it out using some hooks and glue slide hammers put in the previous shop i had to paint right over all the damage because it was not payed work i get it if we fix everything we don't make any money
As a new painter i appreciate the info and simple breakdown. i do helmets, skateboards and motorcycles so i mainly use touch up guns. buying an lvlp now i have 3 hvlps in a 25lb compressor.
I just bought one and used it for clear and I love it! Is the only thing im going to use it for, clear. I never painted a car in my life and all my friends are in love with the paint job. They were all worry because the color I have chosen was a 3 stage paint job and sense I never painted a car before they thought I was going to screw things up, Lol. This gun made it possible for me. Right now is nice and clean and put in a very safe place. I wanted to put it underneath my pillow but my wife didn't like the idea😁😂🤣🤣.
i bought a gpi i used it on basecoat when i went to use it for my clear i had an uneven fan pattern cleaned it and still was uneven pattern it sprays on the top and on the bottom but nothing in the middle of the fan pattern dont know y? ant suggestions
@@angelcorella177 What he is saying is that you would have had a better time with a non-hvlp gun. You would have more time to spray and less time waiting for the compressor to fill. You could paint a car with a bicycle pump too if you really wanted to.... but why?
GFG-670 Gravity Gun DeVILBISS PLUS great home Gun, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 included. Sprayed silver Acrylic Lacquer 1.4 tip, 30psi. Compressor 60gal, 5hp, 165psi. Trying base, clear next car. Thanks for all your videos. Only heard you mention the Plus, one time, not sure it’s sold outside the USA. I understand why lacquer is not a topic, but as I said base clear next, not silver, that took 3 attempts to get it right.
Quick question. As for paint (automotive single stage) usage from guns. How does an HVLP compare to an old school siphon feed gun? My best siphon feed is a Binks #7 for comparison. Thanks in advance for your answer.
Being a spray painter myself I’ve found HVLP to be a new ball game especially coming to the paint mix and usually a thicker mix which has more of a chance to have runs or droops until using it a few times if your a more common conventional spray painter with high pressure guns
@@TheGunmanChannel Yes i paint bath tubs and HVLP was the first setup to do this bath being the start of my new career and with the thickness of the hose made it a challenge on itself let alone using a lower pressure and a bulkier heavy gun but they serve their purpose 👍🏼
I am in a tech college automotive refinish program, in the US. We use HVLP, because it is mandated by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). I use a Sata 4000B HVLP digital with a 1.3 tip. I only have this gun right now, so I spray Primer, Sealer, Base and Clear with it. I set pressure at 25 psi incoming rather than the 29psi that Sata recommends.
Ive recently bought a sata 5000 hvlp for our standox water system and its fantastic , spraying at 1.6bar . Ive had to readjusted my brain to how much paint im mixing up coming off my gti pro lite as its using much less paint .
Between the devilbiss 802342 and 802343. Which will you get? I am painting 5 6ft long steel small doors and a few gates ( small welding business). My compressor is an 8 gallon hotdog Husky I got on sale for $99 at the Home Depot
I have an older FLG3 that came with 1.3, 1.5 and 1.8 tips and I have been very happy with it, I have only done a few projects with it so it is basically still new I am very meticulous when it clean it so it should be good for a long time.
This video is really nice to watch! I have a cheap Campbell Hausfeld DIY spray kit that is HVLP(after a lot of research) and I’ve had nothing but problems. Finish is very grainy and always seems to need a lot of polish to look professional. I also upgraded to a 20 gallon compressor and it’s still not quite right. You’re bang on when you mentioned you have to hold the gun closer, otherwise the finish is too thin and even more grainy. Thanks for the vid, I will buy a LVLP for my next project. Home Mechanic
As a bathroom refinisher, I spray high gloss acrylic polyurethane. Would a standard gun be better for this and could I still run my hvlp turbine behind it? What would the differences be?
Currently running a DeVilbiss Finishline 4 FLG-670 Solvent Based HVLP, love the gun. It does beautiful finishes, super smooth. I don't understand your objection of the HVLP gun.
So since the guy is a cabinetmaker who paints his own cabs, and he is going to do his car too, here are some insights/feelings as another cabmaker who occasionally sprays automotive. HVLP has helped control air consumption against the demands of more than one man using air tools- sanders, dust blowers, nailers and of course the spray booth feed. This is with a large IR compressor with a 7.5 horse motor and a 120 gallon tank. Its just way more pleasant not having the compressor constantly on. Overspray is also a concern in the booth because the waterborne finishes can look great but then there is a lot of cleaning if the overspray is heavy. So a lot of what your advice-seeker might be thinking about are the facts of life in a facility which isn't built as a dedicated spray room and can't be brought to that standard immediately.
tell that to the government in CA. they do allow the TE 20 now as hvlp in most areas of CA. but for a while that was not even legal. You are right about how much paint they use and they also put about the same amount of emissions in the air either way.
Gunman, any thoughts on HVLP turbine units? I thought one benefit of HVLP is you don't need an air compressor at all, plus you don't have to deal with moisture in compressed air.
Thanks for explaining this! Only problem is that I found this video after I already bought FLG-4 670 kit..and now looking for more powerful 30 gal compressor.
Good point man! Appreciated, i'm plannin to buy a 5hp with 60 gallons tank but its too expensive. Now i think 2 to 3 hp air compressor with 30 gallon tank will do by just using rp or lvlp. spraygun.
Hi, can you please do a LVLP comparison between the cheap Sprayit 33000 /R500 and the GTI pro lite with TE10 or T110 ? I am looking for a spray gun with minimal overspray and low CFM requirement while doing a decent finish. Thannks for sharing all these awesomeness and knowledge
The devilbiss flg5 is a good gun for home spraying..ill use it alot and thats a small priced gun and you can spray cars in the booth..did a few cars and came out awesome..
Total agreement, I've used lots of guns for woodwork, industrial painting and some auto. For the average backyarder I'll say this. Devilbiss still makes the JGA. it works, it needs no improvement. Yes you'll use a little more paint but you can lay it down flat. For fine woodworking lacquers , look at an hvlp turbine system. You eliminate compressor not keeping up, you are spraying with warm dry air, and you can use the turbine box to air dry coatings with a manifold. For heavy use workshops and viscous coatings nothing out there works better than the sames-Kremlin airmix systems. I have 2 from the 90s and they are fantastic , the new version is better again. Be sure to be seated when reading the price quote though. Gunman is right, for automotive even if you buy the satajet5000, or devilbiss(tekna) prolite you will not be using that hvlp aircap unless you are shooting acrylic enamel or trying to match a euro orange peel
Massively happy with my Tekna Pro Lite, your vids really helped me make that jump and I'm able to get quite close to the Benz factory finish with it. Cheers!
Thanks for the info. Think I'm sold on the FLG5. I'm planning on painting a small aircraft with the wings already attached. How can you use the FLG5 to paint the underside of the wings? I will be laying under the wing. Is this possible with FLG5? Thanks. Phil from WV, USA
question: I'm a newbie, not buying a pro expensive gun, for acrylic enamel paint / clear would you advise me to go HVLP or LVLP? It gets a bit confusing with different types of guns and different types of paint. There is no way I'm spraying anything with hardener / catalyst.
Cabinetmaker here looking for recommendation on a new gun. I have a Sata LM 2000 cup gun that I use for painting right now but I am looking for something a little better, maybe a larger tip for spraying the thicker paints that I have been dealing with. I'm thinking the Sata 5000 RP.
Hi gunman thanks for you're videos, I've learned many. One thing I don't understand is why the flg5 is lvlp spray gun when its air consumption is 277 l/min (9.8 cfm) while The gpi has 265 l/min 9.4 and is hvlp gun. Like they both need the same size compressor. Thanks for the help
thanks mate, didnt even know there was a difference between hvlp and standard guns. i was about to buy a really cheap hvlp gun, but now im gonna think about one of these now, jusyt looked at the FLG5 probbaly gonna go for that now. thanks for the info.
This is an excellent video. I always sought out a HVLP with some of it attributed to that thinking "this is new so its better" but also because I tried to understand that it meant better transfer efficiency and so I assumed as a DIY/hobby guy i would be spending less money on paint. I think this is kind of a false assumption on my part because if i only paint 1 car a year how much paint and money will i really save? Also saving air is probably more important as I only have a 60 gallon home shop type compressor.
great explanation, You have the painting experience and as far as it goes you're absolutely right. However all those so called HVLP automotive spray guns are not really HVLP. at least most of them. I sprayed clears on kitchen cabinets professionally for years, but it was some time ago. At that point The only way to get true HVLP was to buy a dedicated turbine system with large hoses (high volume of air). I did not go that route. The other way round was to have a killer compressor, I had a 5 HP 220 volt 80 gallon tank, which you need all of, plus an industrial grade HVLP gun adapted for use as a hand held unit, cost me around 500 bucks, plus larger hose and fittings. its not just the air horns, you need the power AND volume of air to drive a gun like this. You have to move slower requiring a more steady hand, and as you said your holding the gun very close to the work. The problem is with the operator used to the old school kind of gun, he just cranks up the pressure until he is comfortable, and defeats the purpose of HVLP in the first place. Not worth the hassle unless you need the HVLP for other reasons.
So LVLP less over-spray, more economic with slow application AND RP/HTE are higher pressure but waste a bit more paint basically, better atomization with a nicer finish than LVLP??? Did I get this right? And we DON"T need HVLP for home use ...
Thank you for this informative video. We are currently looking at a qtech 3 silver pro 2 hvlp system. Now I am so confused. My daughter is trying to start a new Furniture Upcycling Business and the choice of the spray painting system is so hard. I already own a compressor but am not sure what to do. Could you please help with any suggestions on a good spray painting system for my daughter for furniture
What is a good spray gun to buy since you said don't buy a HVLP spray gun. I got a HVLP spray gun at Harbor Freight it was 29.99 one but am a beginner auto painter still now started in June but I never got a great finish from a HVLP spray gun as a beginner I want to move up to a better spray gun for next year glad I saw your video because I would of probably bought a HVLP again because was looking at Black Widow spray gun today that was HVLP. But now not gonna get a HVLP spray gun. Being a beginner HVLP spray gun was a start but not gonna be using in future. I used it on a bright silver metallic truck that am giving to brother but now since I watched this video glad won't deal with HVLP now. Just need to get the right one now so when I start practicing next year probably be in the spring because it's getting colder in Michigan in United States where I live and after this month it probably be snowing in November.
Would it make sense to buy a HVLP mini gun? HVLP guns are said to have less overspray, which should be a great advantage when spot priming or the like.
The Gunman - Sir, I watch most of your video's - I am DYI, hobbyist - painted a few cars through the years - planning to purchase a new spray gun - have a pretty good compressor - just wondering, why you do not recommend a HVLP ?
Hi Gunman, Really appreciate your honest reviews, advice and jedi skills. I made the newbie error and rushed into buying a HVLP gun for home project. I've now sold the HVLP and I'm now looking for an LVLP for a van restoration project; I'm hoping to shoot base and clear to finish. Please can you advise which guns/nozzles to look out for here in the UK", and typical CFM to achieve. Also (sorry mate, kicking the arse out of it) what about paint systems, who would you recommend (UK based). Many thanks Richard Underwood
Are TCP globalized spray guns good ,which one would you recommend that can do it all prime ,paint, metallic flakes and clear coat or is it the different tips that are the ones that do individually those things? Which one would you recommend that is affordable but if not then I don't mind paying extra as long as its money's worth. Thank you for your time .
Hello, I agree for the FLG 5 and will order one with a mini gun (probably AirGunsa Impact in 1mm). But the problem with HVLP is (also) the air volume/min required (?) Do you think a FLG with 1.3 / 1.4 will work with a 275 l/min air output compressor ? (Base & clear cloats only). It’s a 150 l. Thanks for your helpful videos from France EU.
I got a tekna pro lite for cars to paint in my garage... it was TONS better than my original HVLP in terms of the finishes it could achieve i got out there and painted a lot of shit.. n now Your sayin the hvlp isn’t the gun to have... can you give any technique advise of using the tekna pro lite in a garage in the summer? I’ve been turning the pressure up to like 20lbs n fluid down any other advise? what tip n cup would you use on the tekna pro lite for home use.. I’ve done 3 or 4 cars now with it I still say even as a hvlp it’s a great gun
Hi again Gunman, I posted a question on your T110 TE20 video, I referenced this clip too. If I got a gun such as a FLG5, Prolite can I use an LVLP cap instead of the HVLP one that might come with it? In other words, can an HVLP act like an LVLP when needed with a simple cap swap? My initial use will be for a Nitrocellulose clear for a guitar, and I need a gun that will work for it. I will possibly use my small compressor 30 gal, at my house, or a large 300 gal one at my buddy's garage. Or should I just buy something like an Astro Evo LVLP and be done with it until I get my own larger setup? Thanks
I just bought a Satajet 5000 digital HVLP limited edition because i got a deal i couldn't refuse, that said can i not just change the cap on my satajet to an RP cap? i have a compressor that can run it so that part didnt bother me. I also plan to hunt down its twin in RP so i have the pair, I have never looked at pricetags on my tools if i did i wouldnt own the tens of thousands in Snapon tools i do, In the end im too poor to buy junk.
Thanks GM I had spent days agonizing over what to buy for motorcycle rebuild job..... ended up just doing what’s right and ordering the 1.4 FLG 5 while watching this video. Should I buy another gun for primer use or can I use this?
I've been iwata ws400 devilbiss plus... tekna te20, HE .. non hvlp guns But..... I recently purchased the blue tekna basecoat gun in the USA This thing sprays so nice, lays down the metallics so good I can belive it's a hvlp gun...
Gunman thanks for the video , have u noticed all the look alike guns when referring to the data style? What's up with that,? Do think there's a knock off that actually performs descent? What's your take on the $200 black widow vs the devibless starting line 1.3 gun
3:58 Eddie Van Halen stripes on your spray gun....made me smile. Massive kudos dude.
Not sure if I was more excited about the advice, or the Nintendo GameCube in the background, boxed like mine! Another awesome video gunman! Thanks heaps from the East side!
I like my Iwata ls400 supernova. Mainly because I'm a aircraft mechanic but I do a lot of small parts painting on aircraft parts hanging on racks. We shoot single stage urethane paints. With Sherman Williams mil spec and super Koropon as a primer. The gun lays Koropon wonderfully and when I have to needle down to shoot inside bores and such it works wonderfully. I like my hvlp gun because it blows the small little dainty parts around less when you're trying to hold them still with safety wire. HVLP guns serve their purpose but they aren't for everyone. The only issue I ever seem to have a problem with is trying to get it to lay mil spec primer nicely.
gunman, I am not a professional spray painter, I do some spraying based on your teaching and recommendations, i bought one of the cheap devil/biss spray guns, as i see it i could'nt care less what they call the spray guns, late for dinner will do, as all i do is put paint in one end and it comes out the other and it gives an excellent finish.

Hi. good info thanks! what would you recommend for using on a construction site (houses and Appts) ? for undercoating (With oil based U Coat) frames,doors skirtings spindles and hand-rails ? I would like to put a finish coat on but am not sure if it would be a 'good enough finish' thank you in advance
Hi there. I am a bit late to this video. Thanks for all of the information. You have helped me a great deal with what you have shared. I mainly spray nitrocellulose lacquer and paint on guitars and furniture that I make. Your tips and tricks in your videos have definitely made me a better sprayer. Thank you.
I wanted to point out that your advice here not to get HVLP guns for home use should be aimed more at those who may be considering spraying a car or larger objects.
If you consider the midi and mini size guns for smaller projects this doesn't apply. I have a small SIP T3/25D compressor at my home that is only 25 Ltr = 5.5 Gallon and runs at about 5.5 CFM. This is fine for the smaller HVLP guns like the A.N.I. R150 and R160 that I have. ( I bought the A.N.I. guns from Sprayguns Direct after your reviews and demonstrations ). I also have Walcom Slim STM's and SATA Minijets. These are all HVLP. They lay the paint and clear on like glass and don't require a large compressor. For the home user that don't need to spray large objects like a complete car any of these would be fine.
I have found the smaller Walcom, A.N.I. and SATA Minijets to be very versatile and as you know from your demo's with the A.N.I. midi size guns they can do car panels and give pro results if you know what you are doing, as you do.
I agree with you regarding the full size guns. I have a Devilbiss GTI suction fed and a SATA LM2000B RP that I use with an old Ingersol Rand belt drive compressor that runs at about 15 CFM. Works great with the larger guns. Like you, for the larger guns I prefer the feel of the RP cap for the SATA LM and the Transtech cap for the GTI. I do have the HVLP caps for both but I definitely prefer the feel and finish I get with the RP and the Transtech. I don't see that there is much of an advantage with compressor requirements as setups for both guns require the around the same level of air displacement.
If I were to choose to keep one compressor for spraying it would be the Ingersol Rand. I got the smaller compressor as it is portable and I sometimes use it with my airtools around the home. It was a bonus that it could drive the smaller spray guns without the compressor straining.
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and experience. It really is much appreciated.
great video! Your comments regarding pro vs dyi equipment id right on. i have a 30 gallon compressor ..and a decent mid range “hvlp” after getting erratic air flow, water vapor, etc. --and horrible results...I finally went to a 5 stage turbine sprayer. dry consistent air -only 9 psi..but 105 CFM. results have been great. I’ve painted two cars using single stage urethane and high solid clear..both fantastic..at least compared with my earlier efforts. I’ll never be as good as you...but your videos-especially your orange peel video have helped me immensely
The quality of finish I get along with the ease of use and clean up more than make up for the amount of paint I use. I will never put my Binks Model-7 down. Thanks.
Size tip it come with ? Do they offer different size tips for it ,?? Do u base coat or CC with the Binks,? Is that a gravity or suct. Fed ? What's the price for it ?
@@dewaynebraley2820 They usually come with a medium tip good for lacquers, primers, epoxies, urethanes and clear coats. There are 3 tip sizes good for everything from shellacs up to house paints. It's a siphon feed gun. I shoot base coats and clear with the medium tip. I have shot hundreds of cars over the last 36 years with the same gun I own now. I've been using a Binks #7 since I started custom painting in 1976. The gun will shoot all sizes of metal flake also. Look for a used one that's been kept clean on ebay to save some money. They don't wear out so a rebuild kit will usually get them going like new. Hope this helps.
Used a#7 for years still have good guns
You are 100% correct my 2 old gti with 110 air work great on base and clear no problems great advice again
hows the 110 finish on it?
You just rescued me from buying a 400$ hvlp. I do own a conventional gun from 2008 price range at 120$ with 1.3 and I paint my beetles as an amateur painter. I still got some orange peal that I can't solve but I try to learn from your videos..
HVLPs work well for painter decorators, a practice which use paint viscosity quite different from what is used in a bodywork.
I have had a Fuji HVLP system for years and its brilliant Ho Hum.
Thanks for the info. Great timing for me as I'm starting to shop for a gun in the us now.
From one pro painter to another my friend love your vids u break them down for everyone that doesn’t quite pay attention to understand an catch before jumping in it I’ve seen a lot of ppl make those mistakes watching vids thinking no big deal jump in it an mess shit up bad so it’s nice to see someone that actually knows what they’re talking about giving ppl tips on how not to blow there money keep up the work bro would love to hook up with ya if you in the US sometime an throw down some paint an create a color or two for a nice project my hat off to ya bro great work great videos
Good vid👍 I'm a DIY guy and i bought an LVLP gun with a variety of tips to shoot what i need with my home air compressor. Gun was under $100 usd
LVLP is much better suited to DIY
The Gunman Yeah the gunman I love my LVLP's I swear it gives such a great finish. I want to send you one to do a review on. You might have seen them or heard of them a bit. ATOM X Line? I've got the X20 MP LVLP and about to pre-order the X27 MP LVLP which is actually a clone of the Sata 5000 except the air valve is in a different spot or so I heard atleast. Tony from learn auto body and paint channel promotes them and for the price they definitely seem like a well made quality gun to me but I've never owned or even held a devilbiss pro-lite or anything else considered top notch guns. I did get to hold and feel the Walcom Genesis Carbino and loved the way that trigger felt but that's it. It would be sweet to see you spray with them guns and see what you think of the price vs. Quality and the finishes you can get with them. I basically learned spraying with these guns well actually still learning only been painting 6 months or so now. Mainly the same cars panels like 8 different times haha damn Honda Accord 2009 with Alabaster Silver Metallic one hell of a color to learn how to not only paint but learn body work for my first time. Haha
I’ve got one of those Harbor Freight special guns and it’s no prize but I got the kinks worked out of it after some modifications and it have sprayed epoxy, 2k, base, and clear with it and its 1.4mm tip and was able to get a surface with every little orange peel. There is no doubt that it is a cheap gun, and like I said I did have to do some work to it to make it function correctly but it works for a hobbyist like me.
Good morning sir, do you have a video on how to use/set-up up a slandered HVLP gun?
I've been spraying for 2.5 years full time in the US. We use Cromax solvent base and I for some reason prefer using hv30 for heavy metallic colors but that's about it. We also do a shitload of full respray 2k direct gloss color/single stage (it's one of those budget Maaco shops, gotta start somewhere lol) and I will use te20 for that all day long. Iwata lph-400 hvlp for sealer/wet on wet, and ws400 or te20 for clear. Those two instances where I like using hvlp, I actually do find I save a tiny amount of paint but it's laughable like you said. Maybe half an oz
David Westernall thanks man, most people just give me shit when they here about where I work. I'm fortunate to work at one of the better maacos in my area. I was given the opportunity to take over the previous painters position after only working in a body shop as a prepper for about a month. I hopped on that and turns out I was pretty good and have some natural talent. I have no official education or certifications, all self taught and some training through Axalta reps. My end goal is to work here another year or two just to have the length of experience under my belt, get certified, then move on to a higher end facility. I really want to get into strictly collision repair and insurance work, enough of this full respray with cheap paint for 300$ 😂😂
Just want to ask you a question is maaco realy that bad or is it just a bit of a bad reputation i watch some videos on youtube about maaco and what i have seen its not the best but for 300 to 500 bucks you should not even complain 😉i am from europ so something like maaco is unknow to us i worked in a lower and shop for 2 years to and now i work in a higer end colision and insurance workshop we use cromax pro waterbase
kevin hekers it's all going to depend on the location and attitude/willingness to work of the employees. Most of the Maacos are franchised owned like a McDonald's.. you may have a really good or really bad experience. The one I work for is hands down the best in my area, we fix a lot of the other Maacos shit jobs lol. You just need to understand that when you go to Maaco, you get what you pay for. 300$ full respray pretty much covers the cost of paint and materials for us and that's about it. Nothing is removed, de trimmed, repaired (dents, dings, rock chips, peeling paint) unless the customer is paying for any of that to be done, which starts to up the price, but also quality of the finish a lot.
kevin hekers there's a maaco about 15 minutes down the road from us that will red Scotch Brite the entire vehicle and paint right over top... We don't do that, everything is DA sanded smooth with at least 320 grit
Ryan Johnston thanks for reacting we do alot of insurance work so if there are any stone chips scratches small dents arround the area that will get basecoat on we fix it if its in a blend panel we might push it out using some hooks and glue slide hammers put in the previous shop i had to paint right over all the damage because it was not payed work i get it if we fix everything we don't make any money
As a new painter i appreciate the info and simple breakdown. i do helmets, skateboards and motorcycles so i mainly use touch up guns. buying an lvlp now i have 3 hvlps in a 25lb compressor.
I got an FLG5 last fall and it is fantastic. Did a quick ms clear vid on it. Highly recommend for the diy guy on a budget.
I have to agree with you, the gun is absolutely amazing for the price. I also have a few videos on it.
SW Customs wbere did u get it
@@mikehfhryyyo0ysangeyrtrgei481 Off Ebay but sold by Sprayguns Direct
I just bought one and used it for clear and I love it! Is the only thing im going to use it for, clear. I never painted a car in my life and all my friends are in love with the paint job. They were all worry because the color I have chosen was a 3 stage paint job and sense I never painted a car before they thought I was going to screw things up, Lol. This gun made it possible for me. Right now is nice and clean and put in a very safe place. I wanted to put it underneath my pillow but my wife didn't like the idea😁😂🤣🤣.
i bought a gpi i used it on basecoat when i went to use it for my clear i had an uneven fan pattern cleaned it and still was uneven pattern it sprays on the top and on the bottom but nothing in the middle of the fan pattern dont know y? ant suggestions
Thank you, I have a 26 gallons compressor painting small panels will go for LVLP spray gun so my compressor will not run all the time
Does that mean Low Volume ,Low Pressure? So thats alot like the HvLP little brother ? Besides the High is not Low if there is NO pressure
What is the US equivalent of the FLG5
He doesn't know what he's talking about I use those type of guns with a 8 gallon compressor and painted a whole car with no problem.
The US equivalent of the FLG5 is the DeVilbiss FLG5.
It is available here in the US.
@@angelcorella177 What he is saying is that you would have had a better time with a non-hvlp gun. You would have more time to spray and less time waiting for the compressor to fill. You could paint a car with a bicycle pump too if you really wanted to.... but why?
GFG-670 Gravity Gun DeVILBISS PLUS great home Gun, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 included. Sprayed silver Acrylic Lacquer 1.4 tip, 30psi. Compressor 60gal, 5hp, 165psi. Trying base, clear next car. Thanks for all your videos. Only heard you mention the Plus, one time, not sure it’s sold outside the USA. I understand why lacquer is not a topic, but as I said base clear next, not silver, that took 3 attempts to get it right.
Funny to see the Gunman all layered up....winter in Aus, lol
It's 105 f here in Texas, brother...
Thanks for all you do to help us!
David Westernall Perth gets very cold I can you.
Quick question. As for paint (automotive single stage) usage from guns. How does an HVLP compare to an old school siphon feed gun? My best siphon feed is a Binks #7 for comparison. Thanks in advance for your answer.
Being a spray painter myself I’ve found HVLP to be a new ball game especially coming to the paint mix and usually a thicker mix which has more of a chance to have runs or droops until using it a few times if your a more common conventional spray painter with high pressure guns
Try holding the gun very close and go nice and fast.
@@TheGunmanChannel Yes i paint bath tubs and HVLP was the first setup to do this bath being the start of my new career and with the thickness of the hose made it a challenge on itself let alone using a lower pressure and a bulkier heavy gun but they serve their purpose 👍🏼
Good advice gunny. I see a whole lot of people buying hvlp guns and want to use them with a home compressor.
Completely agree with gunny. I switched from hvlp to conventional after leaving shop with giant compressor and love it!
That background is so badass haha! Thank you for sharing your wisdom Gunman.
I went for the Sharpe Razor LVLP. It looks like a winner.
I am in a tech college automotive refinish program, in the US. We use HVLP, because it is mandated by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). I use a Sata 4000B HVLP digital with a 1.3 tip. I only have this gun right now, so I spray Primer, Sealer, Base and Clear with it. I set pressure at 25 psi incoming rather than the 29psi that Sata recommends.
Ive recently bought a sata 5000 hvlp for our standox water system and its fantastic , spraying at 1.6bar . Ive had to readjusted my brain to how much paint im mixing up coming off my gti pro lite as its using much less paint .
I'm an aspiring painter who works at a body shop. Should I go for HVLP guns or High Efficiency guns? I see both when I shop. Which one is better?
Between the devilbiss 802342 and 802343. Which will you get? I am painting 5 6ft long steel small doors and a few gates ( small welding business). My compressor is an 8 gallon hotdog Husky I got on sale for $99 at the Home Depot
I have an older FLG3 that came with 1.3, 1.5 and 1.8 tips and I have been very happy with it, I have only done a few projects with it so it is basically still new I am very meticulous when it clean it so it should be good for a long time.
I live in the USA and I can't find the FLG-5 spray gun here. How can I buy an FLG-5 the one you recommend in the video. Thanks
This video is really nice to watch! I have a cheap Campbell Hausfeld DIY spray kit that is HVLP(after a lot of research) and I’ve had nothing but problems. Finish is very grainy and always seems to need a lot of polish to look professional. I also upgraded to a 20 gallon compressor and it’s still not quite right. You’re bang on when you mentioned you have to hold the gun closer, otherwise the finish is too thin and even more grainy. Thanks for the vid, I will buy a LVLP for my next project. Home Mechanic
As a bathroom refinisher, I spray high gloss acrylic polyurethane. Would a standard gun be better for this and could I still run my hvlp turbine behind it? What would the differences be?
Hi champ
This information was very useful to me ,I have a 2 HP compressor and it still doesn't cope with the help gun 1.7mm !!!
Cheers
your right mate I been painting 40 year and totally agree
Devilbiss guns are the best bang for the buck hands down! Great guns and great value! the most options of caps and nozzles.
Currently running a DeVilbiss Finishline 4 FLG-670 Solvent Based HVLP, love the gun. It does beautiful finishes, super smooth. I don't understand your objection of the HVLP gun.
So since the guy is a cabinetmaker who paints his own cabs, and he is going to do his car too, here are some insights/feelings as another cabmaker who occasionally sprays automotive.
HVLP has helped control air consumption against the demands of more than one man using air tools- sanders, dust blowers, nailers and of course the spray booth feed. This is with a large IR compressor with a 7.5 horse motor and a 120 gallon tank. Its just way more pleasant not having the compressor constantly on.
Overspray is also a concern in the booth because the waterborne finishes can look great but then there is a lot of cleaning if the overspray is heavy.
So a lot of what your advice-seeker might be thinking about are the facts of life in a facility which isn't built as a dedicated spray room and can't be brought to that standard immediately.
Would it be preferable to purchase a HTE (High Transfer Efficiency) over the HVLP?
tell that to the government in CA. they do allow the TE 20 now as hvlp in most areas of CA. but for a while that was not even legal. You are right about how much paint they use and they also put about the same amount of emissions in the air either way.
Gunman, any thoughts on HVLP turbine units? I thought one benefit of HVLP is you don't need an air compressor at all, plus you don't have to deal with moisture in compressed air.
Thanks for explaining this! Only problem is that I found this video after I already bought FLG-4 670 kit..and now looking for more powerful 30 gal compressor.
Good point man! Appreciated, i'm plannin to buy a 5hp with 60 gallons tank but its too expensive. Now i think 2 to 3 hp air compressor with 30 gallon tank will do by just using rp or lvlp. spraygun.
Hi, can you please do a LVLP comparison between the cheap Sprayit 33000 /R500 and the GTI pro lite with TE10 or T110 ? I am looking for a spray gun with minimal overspray and low CFM requirement while doing a decent finish. Thannks for sharing all these awesomeness and knowledge
The devilbiss flg5 is a good gun for home spraying..ill use it alot and thats a small priced gun and you can spray cars in the booth..did a few cars and came out awesome..
Total agreement, I've used lots of guns for woodwork, industrial painting and some auto.
For the average backyarder I'll say this. Devilbiss still makes the JGA. it works, it needs no improvement. Yes you'll use a little more paint but you can lay it down flat.
For fine woodworking lacquers , look at an hvlp turbine system. You eliminate compressor not keeping up, you are spraying with warm dry air, and you can use the turbine box to air dry coatings with a manifold.
For heavy use workshops and viscous coatings nothing out there works better than the sames-Kremlin airmix systems. I have 2 from the 90s and they are fantastic , the new version is better again. Be sure to be seated when reading the price quote though.
Gunman is right, for automotive even if you buy the satajet5000, or devilbiss(tekna) prolite you will not be using that hvlp aircap unless you are shooting acrylic enamel or trying to match a euro orange peel
How about low pressure low volume spray gun for spraying an old Trans Am where I will be doing sections at a time as I rebuild it?
Could You create same video about LVLP? or/and LVMP, please? :)
Great breakdown on what the difference is
Would the A.N.I. F150 be suitable for cabinets with small compressor
Pozzz from Serbia, which according to you is a good gun from the hobby variant, like Italco and so on
Massively happy with my Tekna Pro Lite, your vids really helped me make that jump and I'm able to get quite close to the Benz factory finish with it. Cheers!
Thanks for the info. Think I'm sold on the FLG5. I'm planning on painting a small aircraft with the wings already attached. How can you use the FLG5 to paint the underside of the wings? I will be laying under the wing. Is this possible with FLG5? Thanks. Phil from WV, USA
question: I'm a newbie, not buying a pro expensive gun, for acrylic enamel paint / clear would you advise me to go HVLP or LVLP? It gets a bit confusing with different types of guns and different types of paint. There is no way I'm spraying anything with hardener / catalyst.
Cabinetmaker here looking for recommendation on a new gun. I have a Sata LM 2000 cup gun that I use for painting right now but I am looking for something a little better, maybe a larger tip for spraying the thicker paints that I have been dealing with. I'm thinking the Sata 5000 RP.
Have you ever seen the movie powder?
How bout the Lvlp.. for a diy guy with small 2.5 hrs compressor.. .
Hi gunman thanks for you're videos, I've learned many. One thing I don't understand is why the flg5 is lvlp spray gun when its air consumption is 277 l/min (9.8 cfm) while The gpi has 265 l/min 9.4 and is hvlp gun. Like they both need the same size compressor. Thanks for the help
0Dani3l that’s what I’m wondering too. It actually says on amazon that it’s hvlp , not lvlp. I thought he was recommending lvlp guns.
What should I be using for spraying some cabinets, and also walls?. Ive done lots of research and it all seems to be hvlp, like wanger flexio etc.
thanks mate, didnt even know there was a difference between hvlp and standard guns. i was about to buy a really cheap hvlp gun, but now im gonna think about one of these now, jusyt looked at the FLG5 probbaly gonna go for that now. thanks for the info.
This is an excellent video. I always sought out a HVLP with some of it attributed to that thinking "this is new so its better" but also because I tried to understand that it meant better transfer efficiency and so I assumed as a DIY/hobby guy i would be spending less money on paint. I think this is kind of a false assumption on my part because if i only paint 1 car a year how much paint and money will i really save? Also saving air is probably more important as I only have a 60 gallon home shop type compressor.
What is your opinion on Airbase/Emax premium clear gun? Company states very nice gun.
great explanation, You have the painting experience and as far as it goes you're absolutely right. However all those so called HVLP automotive spray guns are not really HVLP. at least most of them. I sprayed clears on kitchen cabinets professionally for years, but it was some time ago. At that point The only way to get true HVLP was to buy a dedicated turbine system with large hoses (high volume of air). I did not go that route. The other way round was to have a killer compressor, I had a 5 HP 220 volt 80 gallon tank, which you need all of, plus an industrial grade HVLP gun adapted for use as a hand held unit, cost me around 500 bucks, plus larger hose and fittings. its not just the air horns, you need the power AND volume of air to drive a gun like this. You have to move slower requiring a more steady hand, and as you said your holding the gun very close to the work. The problem is with the operator used to the old school kind of gun, he just cranks up the pressure until he is comfortable, and defeats the purpose of HVLP in the first place. Not worth the hassle unless you need the HVLP for other reasons.
Should I use HVLP for painting a metal house roof?
I'm getting a lot of dirt whenever I spray clear coat what could possible cause it?
So LVLP less over-spray, more economic with slow application AND RP/HTE are higher pressure but waste a bit more paint basically, better atomization with a nicer finish than LVLP??? Did I get this right? And we DON"T need HVLP for home use ...
Devillbis 1.3 transtec for me. Te 10 for base & Te 20 for clear. Flg 5, 1.4 for direct gloss. They are the bomb
Thank you for this informative video. We are currently looking at a qtech 3 silver pro 2 hvlp system.
Now I am so confused. My daughter is trying to start a new Furniture Upcycling Business and the choice of the spray painting system is so hard. I already own a compressor but am not sure what to do.
Could you please help with any suggestions on a good spray painting system for my daughter for furniture
What is a good spray gun to buy since you said don't buy a HVLP spray gun. I got a HVLP spray gun at Harbor Freight it was 29.99 one but am a beginner auto painter still now started in June but I never got a great finish from a HVLP spray gun as a beginner I want to move up to a better spray gun for next year glad I saw your video because I would of probably bought a HVLP again because was looking at Black Widow spray gun today that was HVLP. But now not gonna get a HVLP spray gun. Being a beginner HVLP spray gun was a start but not gonna be using in future. I used it on a bright silver metallic truck that am giving to brother but now since I watched this video glad won't deal with HVLP now. Just need to get the right one now so when I start practicing next year probably be in the spring because it's getting colder in Michigan in United States where I live and after this month it probably be snowing in November.
Would it make sense to buy a HVLP mini gun? HVLP guns are said to have less overspray, which should be a great advantage when spot priming or the like.
David Westernall Which HVLP primer gun & tip/cap ?
Would Epoxy primer use same gun?
Hello, is RP better for clear than hvlp? If I have hvlp is it worth to buy RP too? Thanks for answer.
Since this is older video and im looking to buy a great budget gun and air is NOT an issue for me, what would best recommendation be?
Thanks so much
Hello can u do a demonstration and review of the warwick 990 paint gun?
Some call gravity feed spray guns HVLP . Thank you Gunman the amount of help,information and reviews out there for free
What about if i have pearl based paint. Do i still need a HVLP?. They say i cant use the other guns with this form of paint.
What’s your current recommendation for home use. One that will cover primer base and clear coat in one
Probably still GPG formerly known as GPi
spraygunsdirect.co.uk/product/devilbiss-gpg-spray-gun-2/
The Gunman - Sir, I watch most of your video's - I am DYI, hobbyist - painted a few cars through the years - planning to purchase a new spray gun - have a pretty good compressor - just wondering, why you do not recommend a HVLP ?
Great video thanks as a novice I always thought it was all about hvlp.
Any recommendations between the gpg and flg5 for solid single stage 2k?
Is this for an overall usage of base and clears, or for finishes only?
Hi Gunman,
Really appreciate your honest reviews, advice and jedi skills. I made the newbie error and rushed into buying a HVLP gun for home project.
I've now sold the HVLP and I'm now looking for an LVLP for a van restoration project; I'm hoping to shoot base and clear to finish.
Please can you advise which guns/nozzles to look out for here in the UK", and typical CFM to achieve.
Also (sorry mate, kicking the arse out of it) what about paint systems, who would you recommend (UK based).
Many thanks
Richard Underwood
No response..how sad
he probably have no time to watch all questions. he actually says which gun to buy in video
Do u recommend for show quality finish Sata or DeVilbiss ? Which gun from Devilbiss ? Thanks for the help
Are TCP globalized spray guns good ,which one would you recommend that can do it all prime ,paint, metallic flakes and clear coat or is it the different tips that are the ones that do individually those things? Which one would you recommend that is affordable but if not then I don't mind paying extra as long as its money's worth. Thank you for your time .
Can LVLP spray metallics good for DIY?
can you change the tip and the air nozzle
Honest opinion is given here this deserves the best of respect from me thanks
Hello, I agree for the FLG 5 and will order one with a mini gun (probably AirGunsa Impact in 1mm). But the problem with HVLP is (also) the air volume/min required (?)
Do you think a FLG with 1.3 / 1.4 will work with a 275 l/min air output compressor ? (Base & clear cloats only). It’s a 150 l. Thanks for your helpful videos from France EU.
I got a tekna pro lite for cars to paint in my garage... it was TONS better than my original HVLP in terms of the finishes it could achieve i got out there and painted a lot of shit.. n now Your sayin the hvlp isn’t the gun to have... can you give any technique advise of using the tekna pro lite in a garage in the summer? I’ve been turning the pressure up to like 20lbs n fluid down any other advise? what tip n cup would you use on the tekna pro lite for home use.. I’ve done 3 or 4 cars now with it I still say even as a hvlp it’s a great gun
Hi again Gunman, I posted a question on your T110 TE20 video, I referenced this clip too. If I got a gun such as a FLG5, Prolite can I use an LVLP cap instead of the HVLP one that might come with it? In other words, can an HVLP act like an LVLP when needed with a simple cap swap? My initial use will be for a Nitrocellulose clear for a guitar, and I need a gun that will work for it. I will possibly use my small compressor 30 gal, at my house, or a large 300 gal one at my buddy's garage. Or should I just buy something like an Astro Evo LVLP and be done with it until I get my own larger setup? Thanks
if it's not an HVLP and not a LVLP what is it called? some model examples?
I just bought a Satajet 5000 digital HVLP limited edition because i got a deal i couldn't refuse, that said can i not just change the cap on my satajet to an RP cap? i have a compressor that can run it so that part didnt bother me. I also plan to hunt down its twin in RP so i have the pair, I have never looked at pricetags on my tools if i did i wouldnt own the tens of thousands in Snapon tools i do, In the end im too poor to buy junk.
Looking at the Black Widow from HB your opinion? HTE ?
i have some motorcycle parts i'm painting with some metallics. I have a 26 gallon 2hp compressor what gun should i buy?
Thanks GM I had spent days agonizing over what to buy for motorcycle rebuild job..... ended up just doing what’s right and ordering the 1.4 FLG 5 while watching this video. Should I buy another gun for primer use or can I use this?
I've been iwata ws400 devilbiss plus... tekna te20, HE .. non hvlp guns
But..... I recently purchased the blue tekna basecoat gun in the USA
This thing sprays so nice, lays down the metallics so good I can belive it's a hvlp gun...
Gunman thanks for the video , have u noticed all the look alike guns when referring to the data style? What's up with that,? Do think there's a knock off that actually performs descent? What's your take on the $200 black widow vs the devibless starting line 1.3 gun
