Can You Spray House Paint With a HVLP Paint Gun?

- Today I try using a spray gun I own instead of buying an electric airless sprayer. So far I'm impressed with the results, and will try using this for future projects to get a finer finish.

Awesome thanks for sharing!
tip: i use hvlp for all my cabinets, I use cover stain primer thinned with acetone 30% then spray that on let dry , then thin down the behr cabinet and trim paint 1 gallon thinned with 1 pint of flotrol. then spray that! works for a perfect finish everytime!
have you tried using a more premium latex paint? I found when using my airless, I used premium Dunn Edward's paint which is I think equivalent to Benjamin Moore Advance.
It was much thinner out of the can than Home Depot paint. I had to thin it by 30-40%
I'm thinking the more expensive paint needs less thinning and less coats so maybe it saves in the long run
when i worked at the zoo, i used HVLP to paint the pillars and crossbars on the cages. paint we used was basically house paint, but was non toxic to all the animals. When i took over the paint crew i had the maintenance manager get me "primer guns" vs paint/clear guns as it has a wider opening. we didnt need to dilute the paint, even in the Kansas summer heat.
Good ol Kansas heat 😂😂
What size nozzles did you end up using?
I believe the 1.7mm nozzle...
Thanks, Sam👍
Okay I want to share a beer with this guy. He’s awesome
Saving money and using what you have is a win.
I painted all the trim in my house like this when we updated all the trim. Turned out a really nice finish, with just a minor amount of texture. But the texture was more desirable than rolling or brushing. BTW, hello from north Dayton. lol Been watching you and Peter for years, even back to early flight test days.
GBV!
Winner!!!
Wow rocket science
Thanks a lot
This is almost as bad as me doing a project. Thanks for showing that you had no idea but it worked.
Yes been using one to paint custom cabinets for 5 years
What was the air pressure (psi) when you were spraying?
Griffin is awesome 😎
This is hilarious. Im trying this
Make a frame that hangs from the ceiling, then lower it and attach the paint cuttains and raise to the level you need. you might need to weight the curtains.
+1 Did my shop with sliding curtain tracks and tarp clips from Amazon. I can just roll them out of the way.
do you think this would work on t1-11 plywood siding?
How big is the compressor you were running this off of?
Nice job, I was just thinking about trying that.
Nice
You can also drill the holes a little bigger just to make the paint come out faster
Can this be done with a LVLP gun? Or does it have to be a HVLP?
Them spraying skills tho😆
When spraying latex or enamel I also use a little retarder to keep paint from during on the needle. You should wear a respirator spraying any paint
“I was going to go to Home Depot, but I realized I have HPV.” 😂
Dude, your shop is out of controll, piles of stuff everywhere, empty boxes everywhere, equipment buried, tripping hazards…. Looks like my shop.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
it's not bad. ?
you can do that
Use 2mm or 2.5mm spray nose
Paint is too thick for spraying. You need to thin it more!
This is the struggle with HVLP. In order to avoid dry spray and orange peel, you have to thin the paint beyond printed specs. That's why a fine finish airless is idea. But that is a royal pain when doing just a quart of paint. Trade offs everywhere.
