I have already finished my deck and it looks good. I overlapped around 50% once I got in the groove and stayed in the project. Now I know better thanks to you two. Thank you and I will use your advice with water to practice.
Thanks a lot. It really reinforces what I've learned about spraying finishes by trial and error. It's good to finally know I'm doing it the most efficient way possible.
One of the better videos on setting up hvlp for woodworking... Thank you!
Fantastic breakdown of technique. Matt's def a pro.
Great video. I also spray finishes in the automotive world and had questions about similarities between application on wood and what i am used to. The article Matt put together also clarified my questions about spray tip size. Thanks guys.
Just want to say thankyou for this. It has been really helpful for someone that is just starting out with a spray gun.
I’ve been watching HVLP and spray videos for the past few days working my way up to spraying a project I’ve been working on for a while now.
This is probably the most intuitive and hands on tutorials I’ve seen at this time, thank you for that!
Great job breaking down the info Matt! Cleaning srprayers properly would be another good one.
+April Wilkerson Thanks, yeah I'm getting lots of questions about that. I'll try and do a follow up video explaining the process.
Excellent! I just bought my first compressor and a spray gun. This was excellent timing!
Perfect timing! I just bought one to help me repaint my new house.
This video came at the perfect time! I just had to spray finish all the chair molding in my house and the tips in this video really helped!
Well that explains his patience, anything connected with automotive needs a lot of patience. Thanks for sharing.
Much appreciated and well-organized tips, tricks, and explanations!
Thanks. What a great instruction. i wonder about this for year and used a brush. now i know how to do this. thanks Jan from Norway
Really excellent intro, guys! Really helps to take a lot of the mystery out of the process!
Great explanation of the spray process. I've done a little spray painting back in the day and want to start using it again for my projects.
Awesome info Matt and Jay!! One mistake I see often that some make is not keeping there arm/hand 90degrees to the surface they are spraying. In a former life this was hard for me to conquer. I always wanted to tip my hand down or up causing my fan ends to be heavy or leave a line. With practice and patience anyone can spray finish. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge!! Great stuff!!
Very informative. Good to see you two TH-camrs YouTubing together on TH-cam.
Best airgun breakdown I have seen
very nice and informative vid. I use a hvlp on all the trim and woodwork in high end custom homes for a smooth glass like finish
Great info Matt & Jay :)
+John Heisz Thank you, John.
Thanks Guys, I needed the reminders about follow through. Always love both of yours content(s)? I enjoy all of it,,,there. C-Ya!,,,,Peace!
no mention of need to deal with moisture,using a standard compressor vs using a turbine that delivers dry heated air. Also no discussion of nozzles. Also no explanation of how an HVLP gun works pressure needed to push paint to the nozzle and then pressure needed for atomization . Not a good presentation!
Nice video guys, I like how you've been inviting other woodworker to your shop Jay to build and or like in this one breaking Down the spraying of finishes. Thanks for the great tips Matt!
Tons of great info, guys! Spraying finishes has definitely been something that seemed somewhat intimidating probably based on lack of knowledge. This was a great break down. Matt really makes it look easy!
Excellent explanation as well as all your videos. Thank you for share the knowledge.
This honestly is an excellent video.
now if you would do an episode on what finishes you choose to spray and for what reasons that would be great....thanks for the good video!
Nicely done and very helpful. Thanks, guys!
Excellent technique at 7:46. Nozzle turned 45 degrees outward at the end of each pass to angle off and halve the material. This is mandatory for surfaces being overlapped like casing and jamb corners where the paint will make two passes over the same place. Flick the wrist up or sideways just as approaching and passing across the corner area and the second pass, also angled away, will leave a uniform coat, with no need to pull out the roller and fix a puddle that will guaranteed run down.
Nice job guys!
Nice video!!! Imma refer to this video when I start experimenting.
Thanks for this video fellas!
I don't understand why you say you need a big compressor, when you are only using 5psi?
So helpful. My first spray painted project ended with me brushing
Very informative and easily explained, thank you. Going to use my basic Kobalt setup from Lowe's soon.
Looked at $300 Graco setups and thought I'd start with this HVLP system for $85.
I'm sure it won't be the same, but have to start somewhere.
Hey Matt and Jay, I know it's important to keep the gun clean. What if you are spraying multiple coats, something like 20 minutes apart or even 2 hours apart. Should you really break down the gun and clean it between each spraying. Realistically how long can you leave lacquer in the gun between applications before you need to clean it? Thanks.
+dan michael You should be fine to leave it in the gun between coats just don't leave it for prolonged periods of time. Make sure and check the tip before you start back spraying the next coat!
Keep the product in the gun, no prob all day. The tip is super important to keep clean.
Great video, guys!
Thanks Jay and Matt (I subscribed to Matt's too), this was just the kind of encouragement that I needed to go out and give it a shot. I had purchased a cheep gun from HF and had found a YT video on how to improve it's performance somewhat. I had cleaned it real good, but then never used it. This was just the kick I needed, thanks again to the both of you.
+Bill Macfarlane glad to hear that.
+Bill Macfarlane Awesome Bill, Glad this helped!!
Simple once u get to the edges release the gun
Good video with good information. Matt, subscribed to your channel.
I use an electric spray gun that wasnt that much money. It works great and also means i dont have to move a large compressor from the basement to outside to use it.
Ok here's a question for any of you here: why not just buy an hvlp sprayer from Titan of Graco? What is the difference please someone tell me.
ive always used the hf gun when on sale for 10.00 ..never a problem with it had mine for over a year now....but i only spray verathane's polyurethane straight from can no reducing...
Just have to say that my mind is blown. After watching this video, i realized i have been spraying totally wrong, yet somehow managed to get good finishes. The explanation in this video is what i needed. Outstanding! Makes total sense now and my finishes are coming out better and easier. Thank you!
Super awesome tutorial. Thanks Jay and Matt for sharing .
Not just anyone can do this. It requires a lot of practice. Remember this prep is everything. Make sure what you are going to spray is clean. Just remember this less paint is better until you gain experience. Something they didn’t say was you will need to sand between coats. Using a compressor has a lot of drawbacks size, overspray, CFM and water in your air tank. If you want to spray mostly wood projects think about buying a HVLP Sprayer. Earlex makes a great inexpensive sprayer.
I bet they get Matt to spray all the automobile roofs - lol !!
Great vid , learnt a lot -thanks guys
Wow great video guys! Thanks! Quick question-I am an auto detailer and do headlight restoration using clear coat. Currently I only have a Porter Cable 6Gallon 2.6CFM @90PSI..will this work for small projects like coating headlights with clear?
5 horse power... that should do it! I have a 2 horse power 30 gallon tank that does 6.2 at 90 psi... what guns can I use there?
Very instructive. Nice collaboration. +1 on Matt's channel.
good video ... question , those plastic cups are okay for Laquer ????
I am so naive that I want to find out if an hvlp gun is connected to a compressor. Unlike others, you explained it very well. Thanks.
Thanks so much. I just painted a project, with a brush, that I knew should have been sprayed. I was afraid to get the spray gun out. Not now.
I think a short followup on cleaning your gun after the project would be good. I've used my sprayer for paint but not poly or any other clear finishes. was always nervous about the poly clogging up the gun if not cleaned properly.
Hey I'm wondering which guns you have in the video? You guys do awesome work, I love watching all the cool videos.
Very informative and very helpful. I was talking to Tyler G this past week and he sprays his finishes now and swears by it and prefers it over brushes and wiping on finish. All I have is a 6 gallon Porter Cable Compressor. So I'm assuming it wouldn't be big enough to spray finishes. I've tried using a cheap Harbor Freight sandblaster gun and it would only give me about 30-45 seconds of use until the compressor kicked on and the pressure would drop.
+Joshua Luther Yeah, you'll definitely need a larger compressor.
Great info, thanks guys!
great video thanks for the info don't stop
Great vid, thanks! However, did I hear 5 psi? That seems very low to me
Another great video. I'm heading to Matt's channel to subscribe. I have a HVLP system I bought used. I've sprayed with it but have fussed a lot with thinning, to the point that I stopped using it. It was nice to hear you say that you spray poly and others without thinning. I'll give it at try. Thanks
Comments on things like the Earlex HVLP vs this gravity-feed system?
(I bought an earlex a few years ago but I find that I rarely use it, as the clean-up process for small projects kind of negates the time savings of spraying.)
+Wordsnwood (Art Mulder) I don't personally have any experience with a self contained unit like the earlex, but i can imagine it would be nice to everything you need for spraying in one small package.
The clean-up is always one of the more aggravating parts of any spray job, once you get a system down for cleaning you'll find that it's not that bad and still much faster and better results than brushing.
+Matt Lane Thanks for the response, Matt. I guess the other thing I wonder about is the whole gravity feed bit, as the earlex sucks up from a reservoir below.
Wordsnwood (Art Mulder) There's really not a ton of difference except for the fact that refilling the cup can be a little more aggravating and with the see through gravity feed cups you can see how much material is left over.
compressor? it's not something extremely usual in home shops here in eastern europe.
what about smth DIY grade painters, like bosch pfs 3000?
Good vid and I've done some HVLP spraying and I found that you spend more time setting up and cleaning the equipment than your actual spray time. I will say that it does save a lot of time in the long run especially if you are spraying larger projects. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks a lot pal. You guys are pretty good! I appreciate this very much.
amazing steady painters hand amazing wood work by the tall guy!!!
Great video!! I've been spraying with a hvlp since about 93. My first gun (I still have) is a Finish Line made in France. it still works great!!
Practicing with water is something you can do indoors in any weather but it is good to understand the humidity of the area you live in. Water based finishes will require some additional care in super dry or super humid areas.
Well done guys!
Great video, once I get this down I doubt I'm never going back to a brush, sponge or rag.. unless absolutely necessary of course. Just subscribed to Matt's Channel.. Jake, what kind of gun were you using in this video? And have you upgraded to something better?
Is all this fine information based on no moisture in the air? I would imagine it to be common knowledge to have moisture removed as a basic strategy for using an air compressor or is this not an issue?
+Larry Becker The moisture content in the air is basically uncontrollable in most situations, especially for those of us living in the southern us. It's just something you have to learn to work around, lacquers will be more susceptible to problems.
As far as moisture in the lines, you definitely need to try and control that with some sort of water trap either before the gun or after. The last thing you want is water coming through the gun and ruining your finish!
To help with humidity, raise the temperature inside the shop minimum of 10 degrees or more of you have to. The higher the ambient air temp, the lower the humidity. Yes, it's not so comfortable to spray in 95 degree heat, but the finish is what's important. Wear a headband and also a neckerchief so you don't perspire on your surfaces.
Got a quick question that has nothing to do with this video.
On multiple videos I've seen you drive a screw in full, back it out and then screw it home again.
What's the reason for doing that?
+oobaka1967 as the screw enters the second material it doesn't go in immediately and instead pushes the first material away from the second. Once the hole is started in the second I back out the screw and then advance it again. The second go around the first material will not be pushed away as the screw has a path to go into. Hope that makes sense.
+Jay Bates Makes perfect sense. Thanks for taking the time to respond.
By the way, just bought the lumber to make your easy 2x4 bench.

Hi i have a can of minwax oil based poly ...can i use anything to make it thinner so i dont clog my nozzle? what do i add to it paint thinner or mineral spirits? and approx how much? 10% thanks
Hello, Matt and Jay, thank you and I have a question, I have a Makita MAC5200, Tank Size: 5.2 gal. Voltage: 120v, Max. Pressure: 140 psi, HP: 3, Tank Type: Hot Dog, Free Air CFM @ Max. Pressure: 6.5 @ 90 psi. Do you think that this will do the job, small casing trim around closet.?
Good intro. I'd be interested in seeing same setup with paint. In sure not too different but would like to know differences. Thanks! Good video as always.
Really clear explanation Matt! thanks
+AdventuresInDIY Thanks Chris!
This video was very informative, thanks.
The best, most helpful explanation of compressors and spraying I've seen so far and I've been doing a ton of research as of late! It can get pretty daunting! Thanks guys!
I like the tutorial so much that I used my HVLP on my current project but I came to an issue.
I apply 3 thin coats of minwax wood stain but the last one is been almost a day and is not drying it's still have the glossy look and I want to apply one more thin coat before I apply polyurethane clear.
do you know what is the problem here and how should I proceed?
This is very helpful. No guidance re: how close to keep the gun from the workpiece when spraying. Also the link to Matt's website seems to be broken. I believe the link should be mattlanewoodshop.com/hvlp/
I bought a $50 Harbor Freight HVLP kit recently and have been experimenting with spraying gloss finish acrylic enamel for cabinetry. I'm finding the biggest challenge seems to be getting the mix right. This paint is quite thick and does not flow well through the relatively small tips included in the kit. Although when I get it right the finish is pretty darn good.
thanks guys 👍🏼
Good job on the video I can see you have pride in what you do good job keep it up
Matt and Jay. Thanks to both of you! This video just happened to hit my subscription feed at the perfect time! It's funny how sometimes your own personal research and the topics you present are in sync. Great overview! It is much appreciated guys! Cheers from Illinois!
Nice bit of inspiration in terms of trying something new! good stuff!
is there a preferred way of craning out the gun?
+Richard “BrainFizz” Morley Matt will do a cleaning video on his channel in a bit. Subscribe to his channel so you don't miss it.
Jay when are you going to work on your wood working book.
hey Matt ! i would love to see a video on spraypainting on your channel as well, since most other woodworking youtubers dont cover that properly. great video !
I use a pancake compressor for painting projects with no problem.
was that long spray at 9:00 done with the 5hp/20gal compressor shown at the beginning? also, they didn't talk about how far away the gun should be from the surface. it looked closed really close; like less than a foot?
Hey Jay, nice to meet you at the Atlanta Woodworking Show. Great info about a spray gun, I have 2 and never use them, I think I will try this out with the water trick. Again excellent info
+Ed White It was nice meeting you too, Ed! :)
Great Timing!! Thanks for the tutorial. I like the 4'x8' mounting and masking.
What kind of paper are you spraying on in the demo?
Question for you guys. Do you ever have to worry about oil or water migration from the tank getting transferred to your project? I hear that is a downside to using an air compressor instead of a dedicated turbine sprayer like a Fuji system.
I have a california air compressor 10 gallon. Will this work for hvlp?. Planning on spray lacquer only
Why does every HVLP sprayer I look at say NOT FOR LATEX PAINT?
If your using a mineral spirits diluted oil based polyurthane and spraying it instead of brushing it, I'm assuming the costs are thinner, so does this make drying times faster and If so you clean the gun between coats or can it sit with the mixture in it?
Hello friend my name is Sunny Dayal living in Pakistan my occupation Spray Painter and I am local Spray Painter you Spray Painter
Thanks for the tips Jay, and also say thanks to your friend Matt. Pretty cool stuff !
Thank you Matt & Jay for an interesting video. Question _ for spraying in the shop -- do I need to set up a spray booth with an exhaust system ?
+Ronald Williams Maybe not a specific booth, but you will want a way to exhaust the fumes out of your shop.
hi jay. what kind of finish would you recommend for an indoor bench seat? i'd prefer to spray on. thanks!
5 psi? was that what you said right? I always put too much I guess.
Awesome video Jay! love the collaborations!
I need to get myself an HVLP gun.
