Wow. Great video thanks. I struggled between Astro’s Euro Pro HE and the EVOT-13. Went with the EVOT-13 as it takes less CFM. It’s been an amazing spray gun.
The 1.5 is better for thicker materials like primer. 1.3 is good for base coat or clear. Some guys like to use a 1.4 for clearcoat but I prefer a 1.3 for most guns. Appreciate the support! Hope this helps.
i just got mine! Ordered it 4 months ago they were back ordered. excited to use it. Did you change your settings when you started to spray clear? My spec sheet states 29 psi, I was wondering if you bumped the pressure when you shot clear? I usually bump mine on other guns about 3 psi.
When I put the link up to that gun it was available. Now the link is a 1.9 tip . It really bugs me I don't want viewers to buy the 1.9. I went on Amazon and was unable to find it at this time.
@@patrickgreene1735 I can't say for sure. I think it would be ok for painting one panel at a time. To do a complete it would definitely be starved for air. Typically it's nice to have 13cfms at 60
No, this gun is not for small compressors you need at least 10 cfm's. R 500 is the best gun for small compressors, this astro gun is great a bit better in finish but r500 is better for air consumption, material savings
Technically yes, it will probably be starved for air at times and you may have to let the compressor catch up. I do have a recommendation for paint guns for smaller air compressors. The Eastwood lt100 or the sprayit 33000 paint guns all operate with only 3.25 cfm and they work great for small compressors without sacrificing spray ability. Check out my review and demo. th-cam.com/video/yNWLo-f0eNQ/w-d-xo.html
First, thank you for this video on this gun. HF is good on upholstery foam glue! I been an ASE Master Tech since 1978, but painted a dozen vehicles and a buddies fishing boat. But forced into early retirement 11 years ago, I will spent money like a good Clear with 3-4 “UV” additives. Doing a complete restoration on a 1967 C10 heavily modified thanks to my son’s black ice experience in a 2003 Tahoe. I read your info below the video but couldn’t tell if Solvent based / Water based and going for this gun. Epoxy sealer, mocked filler, sealer (All SPI) products but AkzelNoble color. My question was your opinion on the gun, especially the air cap on plastic cup. I would use 3M PPS hard cup/disposable to shoot upside down and no drips on top. (PU part of my childhood as I bought used one for $150 at 13). Reading below, I was clueless on “Wet Base” but it was used for blending. I won’t have this with entire inside, behind cab, front of bed, assemble, back tape, got 3/4” backer rod to cover gaps & jambs. Top white onto window frames, rest is light metallic brown, finished with SPI universal clear. Thanks for the video & work that goes into edit, moving camera, it’s all work. Thanks for that. I am subscribed sometime ago and hit like! Stay safe.
I appreciate the comment and kind words good to hear this video is helpful. Creating content is alot of work that I enjoy. This gun can be used for solvent paint or water borne paint. I love the gun and am uploading a video now that will be released later today on the eruro pro hvot13 another gun by astro pneumatic. You should definitely watch that video. I would use the 3m cup system for sure. Thanks for watching!
Hate to bother, but the water/oil filter “Orange Ball” used as a final device to provide clear air is not listed in comments. I do appreciate the links to the products but somewhat weird to find the correct words to search for. They are sold by HF, but other brands are most likely better. What is your suggestion? Thanks again as learning is creating best practices, you are the teacher by example. Bless you!
Found a video yesterday where they cut open an orange & blue HF water/oil inline filters. That was eye opening. Thanks for you efforts and reply. Best of luck!
looks good, i use one of those astro aswell i have the 1.5 for primer and sealer. been thinking about getting a 1.3 needle set. what product did u use for the qwet bed
@@GarageNoise yea I will check it out, I have some bulldog that states it can be used as a wetbed but never done it been looking into different products incase I need to blend a tricky metallic down the road
I like both the euro pro he and the evot13. A little less overspray with the evot13. I've used the euro pro for 2k primer with no problems. Thank's for supporting the channel!
Honestly, for me, it's hard to say . They both lay downvgreat clear. I would say it's slightly easier to lay clear with the astro euro pro he . It's been a while since I sprayed with it. I need to break it out again. Appreciate the comment and support.
Wet sand the blend area with 1000 or 1500 . 6-8 inches past where your going to blend clear. Spray your clear then I spray a little reducer on the blend line (small amount) when it dries buff blend lightly away from blend not into blend. Don't try and buff it perfect. They have blending products you can use instead of reducer like melt away but I perfer to use reducer. Stay tuned for a video on how to do a smart blend. Not the correct way to do a repair but can be useful in certain situations. Thank's for watching!
@@GarageNoise Thanks so much!! Makes sense now. I currently use a DeVilbiss FLG5 gun for base and clear. (1.4) Works well, but I’m going to order the Astro gun based on your recommendation. Look forward to trying it out!
I have a question,how much psi do I need to set my regulator on the wall where I connect my hose to the gun I had it at 100psi I'm not sure if it's to high and I'm using an 80 gal the 1 at the compressor is 100psi also and my gun is 30 psi
I think it would be starved for air. Your compressor should put out at least 13 cfm's at 40 psi to have no fluctuations in air pressure. You can use this gun with less but you may stuggle to have consistent performance. If you want to use a small compressor, astro makes a mini gun that consumes less air. Although you wouldn't want to paint an entire car with it. Thank's for watching I hope this helps.
! Again! You failed to show the cfm's required for this particular gun. And you failed to show, the mixing ratios for all chemicals used. As subscribers and viewers, we're getting the impression, that you're just showing off. And not actually teaching. Why? Because you exclude the vital details just mentioned.

Yeah some of my older videos are missing some of that info. I was just getting my feet wet making video's. I will remember to include the ratios and cfm's in future videos. I actually really appreciate your comment because I'm always trying to give everyone the most info i can and improve the content. Something will always get missed unfortunately. Thank's for the support tho!
if it is really a problem for you, or a need to know, you can ask as he has offered the info, or you could look up the gun for the specs, a little bit of homework. the video shared so much that I think it was worth every minute.

Great gun. Love mine, way better than the HF Black Widow.
Lovely job,, so nice to see work carried out to such a high standard in a workshop without all the bells and whistles of ovens and things,
Awesome video! That blending technique is an invaluable skill to learn, I appreciate it.
Thank's for watching and being part of the community!
I reviewed this gun on my channel too...I really like it for the money...good job
Can't beat it for 100.00 bucks!
great vid...What compressor required for this?
Yeah I do this at home with a Devilbiss gti prolite and a Devilbiss DV1 spray gun
Great guns
Hi, what’s the difference between the 1.3 mm and the 1.5 mm and what would you say is the minimum compressor size needed. Thanks for the great video!!
The 1.5 is better for thicker materials like primer. 1.3 is good for base coat or clear. Some guys like to use a 1.4 for clearcoat but I prefer a 1.3 for most guns. Appreciate the support! Hope this helps.
Great video.. thanks for listing all supplied used..👍
Thanks for watching! Appreciate your support.
Nice gun What gun would u recommend for smaller compressors like a 30 gallon will the Astro gun work also with a 30 gallon
If your doing one panel at a time a mini gun will work. Astro makes one, tou want a gun that works with low cfm's
amzn.to/3BH3JbB
This is the touch up gun
Excellent video easily understood. Thanks
Thanks brotha!
i just got mine! Ordered it 4 months ago they were back ordered. excited to use it. Did you change your settings when you started to spray clear? My spec sheet states 29 psi, I was wondering if you bumped the pressure when you shot clear? I usually bump mine on other guns about 3 psi.
Cool , I don't recall if I changed the pressure. I tend to shoot with the lowest pressure I can to control overspray. Let me know how you like it.
Great video , I’m trying to find this gun with the same 1.3 nozzle but have not been able too . And ideas?
Thanks in advance
When I put the link up to that gun it was available. Now the link is a 1.9 tip . It really bugs me I don't want viewers to buy the 1.9. I went on Amazon and was unable to find it at this time.
What brand of base are you using? Seems to match well.
Valspar and just like any brand some match well and some don't.
Exactly what i needed ți know, thank you
Could you please also tell me in order to paint a car, the tank of the air compresor what size should be?
Nice job brother, results are awesome, What size of compressor do you recommend for this type of gun?
Compressor needs to produce 13.5 cfm's @60psi
@@GarageNoise soooo… does that mean my home compressor 27 gallon air compressor would not do very well with this gun? It shows 5.9scfm at 90psi
@@patrickgreene1735 I can't say for sure. I think it would be ok for painting one panel at a time. To do a complete it would definitely be starved for air. Typically it's nice to have 13cfms at 60
Can I use a small compressor for this spray gun?
Also I have an R500 is this spray gun better?
No, this gun is not for small compressors you need at least 10 cfm's. R 500 is the best gun for small compressors, this astro gun is great a bit better in finish but r500 is better for air consumption, material savings
I’d like to know what is a wet bed please?
Clear base coat no pigment only binder. Some call it color blender
Can i use this gun with 26 gallon air compressor tank? Thanks

Its a matrix blender. From local paint store.
@@GarageNoise thanks for the reply, how do u like it?
It works well as far as I know blending agents are all about the same. I've been told it's just straight binder with no pigment.
@@GarageNoise yea I will check it out, I have some bulldog that states it can be used as a wetbed but never done it been looking into different products incase I need to blend a tricky metallic down the road

Nice
Will a Harbor Freight 20 or 30 gallon 2 HP electric cut it with this?
I don't think so it will starve for air. Those compressors will spay a touch up gun tho. This gun needs a compressor that produces 13.5 cfm's
Does this gun lay down clear better than the r500 ?
Honestly, for me, it's hard to say . They both lay downvgreat clear. I would say it's slightly easier to lay clear with the astro euro pro he . It's been a while since I sprayed with it. I need to break it out again. Appreciate the comment and support.

What psi should I spray the basecoat and clear coat with this paint gun
I would start out with 15-20 for base then 28-30 for clear
How do you blend the dry edge of the new clear coat to the old clear on the roof edge?
Wet sand the blend area with 1000 or 1500 . 6-8 inches past where your going to blend clear.

I have a question,how much psi do I need to set my regulator on the wall where I connect my hose to the gun I had it at 100psi I'm not sure if it's to high and I'm using an 80 gal the 1 at the compressor is 100psi also and my gun is 30 psi

I set mine at 100 as long as you have a regulator on you gun it should make no difference.
What is a wet bed
Here ya go
th-cam.com/video/7HxEY8NMjRU/w-d-xo.html
Psi for clear ?
30psi
could this work with a 20gal compressor?
I think it would be starved for air. Your compressor should put out at least 13 cfm's at 40 psi to have no fluctuations in air pressure.

My Astro EVOT-13 sprays nicely off my 20 gallon compressor. I just paint one panel at a time, and have managed fine.
Is this better than r500?
I wouldn't say better, I like them both if your not concerned with air consumption this is a great budget gun.
