#woodworking #hvlp #sprayer - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
As a pro contractor I went trough every possible sprayer including Wagner earlex titan handheld hvlp similar to Wagner , however I realized that as many stages the unit has is better , anything pass 3 stages is considered professional sprayer , I ended up with expensive 2000$ graco 9.5 hvlp unit with 5 stage turbine and boy that’s big difference and I never regretted and the unit paid itself , i agree with you it’s all about what are you using for , if you can’t justify the 2000$ mark then the cheaper options are ok to deal with you just need to thin the paint a bit more and adjust the air and paint volume accordingly, another mid priced solution is airless sprayers with fine finish low pressure tips but that’s different sprayer , thanks for the videos
Good to know! Thanks for sharing your experience. It’s definitely a get what you pay for kind of thing
I'm currently using the homeright super finish max, but I've been contemplating on upgrading to the earlex sprayport 6003. This video helped a lot. Thank ya! Great content!
Glad it was helpful! If you don't, you won't ever look back. You'll just wonder if maybe you should've said up for a Fuji Q5 instead 🤣
The home right super finish max is by far the best value. Thin the paint out a tad and it makes a beautiful finish.
Thank you so much for this review!
Glad it was helpful!
I finally got around to watching this one. Great job sweetie!
Thanks!
One day all of this information will come in handy!
Yes it will!
This would have been great info a week ago. Oh well I learned it the old fashioned way. Good video
Ah man, sorry I didn’t get it up sooner for you!
What a great informative video
Thanks for always commenting 👍
Just wanted to throw my 2 cents in as well I bought a Campbell Housefeild HVLP rig over 10 or 11 years ago and ive sprayed. Just about everything through it over the years including a Dupont 2 stage auto mobile paint and many gallons of interior latex and oil based paints plus a lot of water based Kilz primer and a catalyaed conversion varnish when looking at any of the other brands that are available today i did not really. See any good reasons to replace my old unit as it still works Like it did when i bought it i want to add that. I am a retired Woodworker by trade and most of my projects were finishing solid wood builds i built mostly for myself a family the car was a vintage car i owned for many years and i had always wanted to spray a car sine i was a teenager and the time was correct to do that car when i did most people i asked. Advised me not to use the HVLP but in only a few test patterns and adjustments I went ahead and payed down the paint on the car no drips , orange peel , or any major imperfections after i. Completed the car i spoke with my Dad by phone who lived hundreds of miles away in another state and was also a car enthusiast and collector and his question was how did it come out my response was way better than a typical home job but could be better with more practice overall. I thought it came out looking professionally. Done and i was happy with the results When i did ask around. Years ago and was advised not tp use the system on the car the weird thing was not one person saying that could give me a reason why they felt that way. Or why it wouldn’t work well and some of my wood finishes i applied came out so well i couldnt figure out why the auto paint. Would not I think the only issue i could say was negative I that. The hose on the rig could have been more flexible to move around t more freely and faster i needed another guy helping me moving the pump around the car as i changed sides BTW the car is a small 2 seater roadster
That’s great! You’ve definitely put a lot of mileage on your unit. I didn’t know that HVLP wasn’t recommended for cars, I thought that’s what auto body shops used. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Nice video! Great information. Quick question - when you say the HomeRight is ok for clear coat, does that include polyurethane? I’m wondering if I can do oil based without thinning. - trying to reduce the number of coats I’d have to do. Thanks!
Should be fine for that, I'd stick with a water base though just 'cause it's so much easier to clean the gun after.
Great video
I have the homeright finish max super, it's a good little tool to have for certain situations. I do light fixture refinishing in between big paint gigs, it works well, for my situation. For any sort of big project, I'd bump up to a larger unit.
Oh yeah, it's a great little unit for the price. Just gotta know what to expect from it.
Hi any suggestions for Eu I am in Uk but need converter 240volt to 110 volt and 450wats ?
Great information! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Great information! Thanks for sharing!I want buy one to paint cabinets, just for home use, is homeright finish max a good choice?
For utility or bathroom cabinets probably be fine, if I was doing a kitchen cabinet refresh though I'd be looking at one that can lay smoother.
Was thinking about getting the Earlex, but I heard the hose pops out a lot...from the machine and the gun. That would drive me crazy! Thanks for the video.
That would drive me nuts too, not sure that happened to me any of the times I was using it. But if you're not mindful of being at the hose limit or making sure it comes out straight... I can see it happening.
I wish I had seen this video earlier. I would have asked you about your garage door insulation. I insulated mine and it destroyed my garage door. $2500 later I did end up with a good R19 garage door!
Oh dang! I just got some 1” foam board and cut it up and stuck it in
Was happy to see at the beginning of the video you had Total Boat Halcyon but was disappointed that you didn't show you spraying it. This is one of the products that I was wanting to spray with the two stadge uniot. Have you sprayed this product with the 5500 and if so how did it go? How much did you have to thin it?
It sprays nice in it. Check any of my last project videos and you’ll see me spraying it.
Well Done! Thumbs Up.
Thank you! Cheers!
I'm building cabinets for my kitchen. I'm not a pro, but I do want quality results. I was considering the Fuji Semi Pro or the Earlex 6003. Thoughts?
They’re both solid. I’ve got a Fuji Q5 now. I’d say go Fuji.
I've only read good things about earlex spray port. it's too bad we can't easily get them in europe, most shops have draco and wagner.
That sucks, I've since moved to Fuji and really like those
Just the man I was looking for! Do you think the 6003 can be used to spray thinned Total Boat wet edge one-part topside paint effectively? Initially I was gonna roll and tip it but I think I’m gonna go the HVLP route if you think this unit will do the job. Thanks!
That's a good question. I'm not comfortable answering though because I haven't used their topside paint and it's been years since I've had the 6003. There's a fair chance it could handle it, especially if you can thin it.
@@YouCanMakeThisToo I answered my own question. I sprayed Total boat this weekend using the Harbor Freight purple gun and thinned about 10%with xylene. Came out pretty damn good!
Could you do primer and paint for a car with the 5500?
You could, but I'd want a better rig for a vehicle.
I'm trying to decide between the 5500 and the 6003. I have a very unorganized and tiny wood shop so being able to store everything wrapped up would be awesome. But the 3rd stage in the 6003 would also be great to have. I have a bunch of decking and railing my wife wants me to spray with latex paint. I'm also a woodworker so I'm kinda using this as an excuse to get a spray system lol. Which one would you recommend. I'm not going to be using this gun for latex paint very often after this house project. Any additional advice would be helpful, thanks.
If you have the money and want to get into spraying and a system you won’t outgrow super fast... get the 6003. If the bug bites you, you’ll be wanting to upgrade the 5500 pretty fast. Plus there’s some fit and finish with the 6003 that’s well worth it. The longer hose, threaded and quick releases, more comfortable gun..
Something else to consider ( I own the 5500 ) is the 5500 is a bleeder.., that means the air is always coming through the gun and if you are not setting up a dedicated spray area, you will be blasting air all the time and this mean you better clean your shop of all dust. I am now looking to upgrade ( I am getting into spraying cabinet paints now ) and I am definitely looking at the 6003 and the FUJI sprayers as replacement.. they have more power but they also feature non bleeder guns which means air only shoots when you pull the trigger.
A bit confusing at first. In the closeup discussion the panel is reversed to the spraying orientation.
1, 2, and 3 became 3, 2 and 1.
We’re only seeing from your camera viewpoint so try and keep everything the same.
My brain was scrambling to remember which was which as you explained the details.
Otherwise a great video. Explained each one very well.
Dove potrei acquistare lo sprayport? È introvabile
Would you recommend the earlex over a traditional hvlp gun and compressor?
If you already have a good compressor set up that can handle the load and water/oil traps.. then a compressor driven gun is less expensive to get in to. Turbines tend to deliver more consistent and "cleaner" air though. If you don't already have a huge compressor, just go turbine.
Did you use same nozzle size on each sprayer?
Pretty sure both the earlex's come with the same tip and needle. The home right is probably different.
Just bought the 6003 and made the same mistake as you did. I thought I broke it. Tighten down the cup guys.
Makes ya feel real dumb don't it? Man I was so annoyed at myself, ha.
Painting cars which do you reccomend?
Earlex for sure, but you’ll probably wanna go up to something like a Fuji Q5 if you’re serious.
@@YouCanMakeThisToo Thanks for response, I'm serious but this is a weekend diy car project. Would a Fuji Q3 turbine get the job done?
You can use any. Higher stage better atomization so less sanding between coats and the final coat
Huh? Pulling the trigger back allows more fluid to come out, not more air. The airflow is pretty constant. At least that’s how my Graco HVLP works.
From looking at how mine are made, the amount of air coming out the front is the same. Pulling the trigger changes how much air is allowed to go into the pressure pot, increased pressure in the pot means fluid is pushed out faster. So ultimately you are increasing the fluid release, but by directly controlling the air flow.
@@YouCanMakeThisToo I have 25 years in the automotive paint industry and I can guarantee you the adjustment knob on the back of the gun is for volume control, not air. Air is controlled by a regulator. Also it's an air cap, not a cover piece.
You got any stickers on can put on my toolbox covered in youtube channels
Yeah, email me your address.
What‘s with the German title?
I have them translated in different languages. It was written In English. If you’re not in Germany, it’s probably a glitch, unless you’re using a VPN
No glitch, am in Germany. Never seen anyone else do the translation thing, at least those I follow 👍👍👍
@@robertw.1499 Ah okay! It all makes sense then. I translate my titles and descriptions and pay a service to caption everything in English. The hope is that folks in other countries can at least read what my video is about, and then the auto-translate can do it's best with the English caption. Not sure if it works, but I try.
So we’ve compared a $100 $300 and $500 sprayer and we’ve concluded the $100 isn’t as good. Pretty sure you don’t have to watch a video to figure that one out.
But why isn't it as good? What does "not as good" look like? How much better does spending more get? And will it be "good enough?"
Which is why the title is "Best ... for you."
