Beginners guide to using the Ginour hvlp paint sprayer from amazon. A run through of whats included and how to use the machine.
It comes with 4 cap sizes and 1 needle.
Trying out a budget hvlp sprayer from Amazon to see if i can get decent results. for under £50 i could get this looking pretty nice. as they say its all in the prep. so sanding inbetween coats will get is nice and flat.
i diluted the paint about 20% and used a 1.8mm needle set. I'll add a link to the item.
so can you get good results using a cheap sprayer, yes... but you need to dilute, not spray on full power and make sure youre applying enough paint so it gels into itself. it was a fun challenge - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
PERFECT! THANK YOU! Simple. Easy. Funny. I can't tell you how many videos are 50%+ about a specific model [maybe paid by the maker?! 🤬].. Appreciate watching technique, think that's where I'm struggling! I'd say: GREAT purchase!! 😎
Thanks for watching. I hate the forced hard sells which are obviously a sales pitch and dishonest. I want to give real feedback to my followers to give them my opinion and show we can still get results with a variety of units
@@sprayaholic your authenticity is exceedingly rare & most appreciated!! hopefully I'll achieve a pro finish like yours ASAP!! 🤞🏻😎
@@YssaRee thanks for the support. Plenty of videos on my channel to help. It all comes down to paint consistency. Thats the key with hvlp.
@@sprayaholic Hello, do you have problem with overheating? How many minutes you are using it, then cooling down? Im using oil paint and its getting very hot after 20-30 seconds of usage. If I use small paint output can it be reason why its overheating? Does it overheat less if a lot of paint/air is going forward?
@@orion310591RSIt could be your paint isn’t thinned down enough
Filtering the paint and thinning are the two biggest pre painting tips I’ve learned. Just don’t be in a hurry. Nice vid.
Appreciate the comment. Exactly right. These 2 points are the first to fix and youll spray a dream with a cheap sprayer or an expensive one 🖖
If i use oil based what is the less a i can thin it or how to know..
Dumb question but do you filter new outta can paint or already open only?
The best review/tutorial I have watched from an absolute amateur’s perspectives
Really appreciate youre feedback. I do try to make every video easy to follow for everyone. As i was once in the beginners shoes and know how hard it can be to understand. Thanks for watching, hopefully some of my other videos or Instagram content would be helpful too
THANK YOU ☺️ just bought a sprayer during Prime Day. Watched
A lot of videos and yours is the best!! Giving me confidence to go and tackle my projects. I appreciate you for taking the time. 😎 Love the music 🎶 had me dancing 💃🏻 in the kitchen 😆
Thanks so much for the support. Im glad you found the video helpful. Hopefully you find more content which csn help also. Happy spraying ✌️
How'd it go?
This is a great video. I bought a paint sprayer from Amazon for my Ryobi battery. Your video answers all of my assembly and operational questions. Thank you!! DIY in Texas Hill Country
Awesome glad to hear. Hopefully you'll find more value in my other videos too
You're a very smart man and I have to say your dynamic focussing helps a lot! Thank YOU for sharing the experience :-)
Thanks for your support and kind words. Glad you found the video helpful 🙌
Great entertaining and informative video, glad I came across your channel, just subscribed 👍
Thanks so much for this! Great video!
thanks for watching, have you bought one?
Great Video, THANK YOU!!! 😊
Man with a Machine
Mask or respirator are a must for spraying interior rooms. Bonus operator suggestion(s) if you wear prescription glasses ….. take them off... Don't ask me how I know... Paint quality is the key for the DIY HVLP cord or cordless sprayer. If you're going to thin.. read the paint MFG instructions... personally I use Floetrol and distilled water equal parts for thinning
Nice you’re back making vids
Thanks for the support. Yes life and work sometimes take the lead but im back and hopefully be posting every 1 to 2 weeks now im getting back into the swing of things
👏👏👏👏I’m getting one just because of this video
Good luck with the spraying
Thanks for this. Such a clear, simple, non-patronising video. Really helped us get started!
Boss, that actually looks very good compared to other third party ones.
I think alot of its to do with the paint consistency. Although it was definitely alot better quality than i expected or better than cheap ones were yesrs ago
Great video, thanks 😊
Thanks for watching
Wow .. Ty for the easy peasy how to.. Your video really helped 😊
Glad you found the video helpful i have plenty of spraying content which can be applied to most sprayers
The face at 07:08 is brilliant haha thanks for the vid :)
Thanks for the tips bossman. Came here because I got trigger happy and wondered why I had massive overspray. Going to give it another go with just a little squeeze and see how i get on.
Did it work?
@@sprayaholic It absolutely gave me better results, how ever practice will make perfect.
it easy for using
Perfect!
Very good 😮
Thanks for checking out the video
used it , or equivalent to say, and for wrought iron on a small porch the spray can was more logical considering vol used, set up and invariable touch up due to blurry eyes and gun pass by.
What a Great video. Ive a hand-held wagner cheap sprayer. Use it loads for panelling 😁 new attachment costs 20 quid anytime I need one
thanks appreciate the support. One of the first ever hvlp units i bought was from qvc and a wagner ha. i did a lot of work with that in the earl days. They can work, just knowing how to use them
@@sprayaholic agreed. Quieter than my turbine and compressor. Great channel 👍 👌
@@johnpgray alot lighter aswel haha. Thanks alot. Any questions feel free to ask
Thanks from Nashville, bought the same sprayer to do our shutters with. Hoping it will do oil based paint just as well. Got to really be careful with thinning that. Will do lots of test sprays before hitting the real project.
appreciate the support. hope the oil spraying went well
I thought you had to hold the spray gun straight towards straight pointing to what you're painting . Is it ok to keep going on different angles like you did?
I see so many techniques. I like yours the most if it's ok to spray what your painting on a 45 degree angle too
A Wagner Flexio 3500 is the happy medium between a dirt cheap sprayer like this and an expensive Fuji Spray Q4.
Wagner flexible is an alright unit for the money
Nice one Si not sure how long it would last if your where spraying ever day but for a home owner one time job you can’t go wrong
Hey bud hope youre well. Ha yes not for everyday but i want to show people you can actually get them to work. Budget airless is next one im editing ha was not expecting how it worked
Can you explain how diluting works?
By the way, the music is Cool.😎
It is still a heck of a lot faster than a brush and roller.
Bro this is the content I've been looking for! I'm about to paint or spray some pine kitchen doors. If I want to use something like this will it work with oil based paints? Or is that impossible?
its watwrbased and oil based. maybe youve found out by now though. just about getting the paint consistency right
Can you work with primar paint for metal on this machine
Great honest vid! Just bought a similar battery powered one for £28😂! Would have been good to see what viscosity time using the cup you got from doing it by eye, as we won't have your experience of what's ideal, as we will have to go by the charts with the tool if we're inexperienced 😮
Appreciate the comment. I'll fire it back up and see what the cups says. Ive had a few people ask similar so I'll make a new vid on it
I've just ordered a £14.99 one from eBay to spray some outdoor trellis.
How are you my friend,all good i hope. Did you get a qtech 5 if so how does it compare with the graco 9.5 as I’m thinking of getting one as its cheaper than the graco even with a remote pot
Appreciate the time and content you put in 👏
Hey man all good and you? Yes ive got it. And its great, im still moving into my new workshop so once ive got a minute the video will be up
Excellent demo and explanation, It did an excellent job and was quick. How to wash it ? we an reuse right?
Yes easy to use and clean out. I'll make a video shortly for that
Was wondering what happened to you after your Game Of Thrones gig.
Jokes aside, this was a great confidence boosters for me and my new paint gun. Thank you!
Ha thanks for watching. Which game of thrones character am i ment to be 🤣
@@sprayaholic Sam is the character you embody 🤣
@@myaudlife4399 the scroll master haha
Great video! Was thinking about using one of these for painting dark mahogany stained doors and door frames white. Currently using brushes and Bin Zinser oil based followed by a couple of finish coats. What do you think?
ive just bought a battery powered one to test out. they can work and sure beat brushing BIN ha just takes time to dial in the settings
That music is a killer!!😂😂
Cant please everyone ha
@@sprayaholic Oh no!!! Real jazzy music there. Not a put down! A real toe tapper 👍😂😂😂😂
@timvala7577 ha glad you like it. Its hard to find music sometimes that goes with the videos but also isnt too hard listening
What color green is that. ❤
I've bought the Erbauer sprayer and some Graco FFLP tips. Do you have any advice on thinning paint? Will be starting a project this weekend to spray my kitchen cabinets, with Farrow & Ball primer and modern eggshell Hauge Blue.
Hey, i usually thin 10% to start and it should be decent. Also using a suitable tip size. 310 or 210 for woodwork 517 for walls as a start
@@sprayaholic Thanks very much for the advice :)
Subscribed 👍
appreciate the support
I have recently purchased a Graco ProContracor 9.5 HVLP, was wondering what paint systems you would recommend for starting out? I have a previously varnished bannister with spindles that needs BIN primer - already watched your video on how to clean out etc but wondering what paint system to use on top. Currently using alot of Benjamin Moore Scuff X day to day but unsure if that will be suitable to spray. Any advice would be great
I love benjamin moore, use alot of scuff x and its brilliant. it sprays a dream aswel! also the advanced is a great product when use over the stix primer. sounds like youre already onto a winner. I chop and change and always come back to BM ha. although i do want to give teknos a go
dilute maybe 5% and needle 4, shout work great. but test first and dilute more if needed
Brilliant, thanks for the advice mate!
The English part made me laugh because I've been getting a lot of stuff from amazon lately with spelling errors lol
Haha ye the proof reader wasn't on point
im about to spray my shutters and soffet in the next week. just picked up one of these.. you thin the paint with water ? that simple? will it dry ok?
If its a water based paint yes. Never had an issue, just build up the coats, dont spray too heavy each time going for coverage.
Excellent video.but you don't mention what's the distance between the nozzle and surface as recommended should be 8 inches to 10 inches and yours less than 5 inches. Thanks.
Yes usually around 8ish inches away. Depends on the settings if its low you can get in abit closer
Used ours twice for spring deck stain. Worked great until we tried to use it a third time. Clean as a whistle but just blows hot air . replaced the suction cup and all tubes are clean.
Had you taken it apart fully to clean? Has anything broken and does the needle move still?
@@sprayaholic we did find that a tiny air hole was plugged. Once cleaned it ran like a champ. Was hard to find because it’s just a pin hole.
@chupacabra8821 nice one. Glad you got it up and running
Liked the video!! Very informative but is it necessary to add water to water base paint I always use . Just bought the sprayer and getting ready to use it. Was just going to pour the paint straight from the can and go from there. Please advise!!
@curtisbriand4265 thanks for watching. Yes add water orherwise it will be very spitty. Paint consistency is the key for it spraying well
How many times did you have to refill the gun and how Long did it take painting it and refilling ot for that area?
It didnt use much paint to paint that area so still had probably just under half the paint left in the pot after painting it twice.
You can see roughly how long it too to paint in the video, alot faster than rolling and brushing and a nice smooth finish
What paint were you using?
Was it a primer tinted or had the cupboards already been primed?
Thanks
top coat is mc phersons durable matt from crown. i did prime it in the colour first using acrylic primer undercoat
@@sprayaholic Thanks.
I’ve just ordered a similar one from tick tock shop looks absolutely fine to me and mine I got for a bargain for 25 quid just hope it’s as good as this one.
Hopefully. I picked up a batter version for 25 and it was so bad ha i couldnt get it to spray well at all. But im buying another to try
@@sprayaholic watched a review the other day on the same brand and it wasn’t bad at all will do for me.
But obviously ceilings like I am doing now in my flat I have to use a roller for that as it’s quicker and easier and I can slap loads of white on pretty quick.
Will try this on the walls it’s come but not used it yet as working, but will in the weekend with me luck 😂
Thanks for the review! I picked up one of these thanks to your review - though i've got a lot of paint splatter! Not the fine mist you got... diluted to 25 dins (water based paint) and used the 1mm nozzle. Reckon i've diluted too much?! :(
Thanks for the support. Splatter is paint too thick or needle too small. Id keep to the 1.8mm size i did say what i used in the video. 1mm is for super thin products like water.
I got a cordless one, just charge the battery and you're ready to spray and you don't need any electrical outlets.
They are cheap aswel and if it works the perfect!
New home owner here. I just didn't see the reason to buy. 300 tool for a onenoff job. Doing counter refinishing and don't want roll marks. Gonna get one off Amazon thx.
hope things went ok for you
Just pulled mine out of the box and already can't even see the directions the font is so small so thanks for visual instructions greatly appreciate it and I just paid over 50 for mine at Walmart.
Appreciate the comment. Hope the spraying goes well ✌️
I'm almost positive that all these cheap sprayers are made by the same Chinese company and they slap different names on them. They have the exact same molded case, parts, etc.
I have a Buendio and it actually works rather well for general use... mostly for priming and anything that does not need a super high-quality final coat. Mine tends to get rather hot in extended use and I assume the "motor" will burn out at some point. For
Exactly that. Some of the branded ones are from chine.. but assembled in another country ha
they are. one factory will jsut ship out to all the companies
The molds are not cheap to build and if you ever looked at say any plastics food, containers you will also find that the molds are exactly the same.
Take a Kraft Foods plastics Kool Whip Bowl and a Walmart, General-Foods container same thing.
Cool Whip canadian 1 liter bowl, same shit as a 120z American.
Probably came off the same molding machine on the same day.
That there is some pretty useless information for you.
Yeah I purchased one from Walmart it's just a different name and mine is blue but everything else is the same lol
How much does it over spray? I am planning for my deck and wondering if I need to mask out the door 🤔
Depends on how thin the product is, how powerful its spraying and your distance. So you can control it with technique
Hi is there any way this would work with Zinder aqua bin? It says in their guide 5/8% dilution. But the woman on the phone said not to dilute at all as it would stop the odour blocker working? Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you
hey, ye you could get it to spray. i dilute with my other hvlp unit. are you usin it to block odour? some of the spec sheets on other paints have said to spray with massive tips for airless which just isnt feasible. you can also warm the paint up which would make it flow alot easier aswel.
@@sprayaholic hi thanks for your response. Yes it’s to block odour. I’m in a basement and a leak has caused damp behind my kitchen cupboards. The wood at the back is not damp but the actual wall is. I believe from research there is trapped stinky air behind and between the wall and units so I plan to seal any gaps and paint the interiors of the cupboards. As nothing gets rid of the smell. This is my last resort as it’s going to take a very long time to dry out and apparently my landlady can’t smell anything bad lol. Anyway Iv no experience with a spray gun at all but the cupboards are reall deep into the corners so thought it may be easier? I was looking at this paint as it’s low voc and again thought hood for internal kitchen cupboards?
it would be great if they offered plastic liners to keep is cleaner easier
You could always try something like a large sandwich bag. Things like that have worked before. Of you clean same day it usually comes out pretty quick
Would this be any good to spray pebbledash?
Youd be forever filling the cup. Youd want an airless. Take a look at my budget airless video
🎉
🙌
Can you use oil based paint with this spray or just water based
It never said on the description. Ive tried zinsser bin shellac through it and worked. Possibly over time harsher chemical cleaners may deteriorate it but for the price it not expensive
Can you use these with oil paints and clean with white spirit? Does anyone know?
Yes it says you can
Hi, I'm looking for a sprayer just to spray MDF primer onto MDF cupboards. I wanted the eaps 600 as there was a refurb for 110 at Screwfix, but that's disappeared since. I have a limited budget and would only be using for the primer and possibly most coating in future. Any help would be appreciated
th-cam.com/video/mNCZbSkuswo/w-d-xo.html
Hey
So youd be wanting to mistcoat rooms as well as use for primer? Ideally youd want an airless sprayer. If youre mistcoating you dont want to be filling the pot up all the time and rolling would be faster than using a hvlp.
Airless would get the job done and probably the best budget option would be this
Here it is mistcoating th-cam.com/users/shortsJ3C2pWHbtrI?feature=share
Thanks so much, that's the one I've been looking at for a starter model to see if I can get into it. They was 110 quid for a refurb direct from screwfix last month and I didn't bite, now the refurbs have gone! Guess I'll have to go full price lol
@Martin Corrigan ha or change store and see if theres another locally. Atleast the new one if it goes wrong you take it straight back and you know its new
Hi I have a question that you might be able to answer for me, the extra nozzles that came with the sprayer, do you change it for?, thicker paints or primers, greater paint flow.......?
Thank You Jim, BTW Good video!
hey, the larger the tip number the more paint it allows out. but paint consistency is still key. id probably keep to the higher set of tips than the smaller ones with art great for most paints. more watery stains etc
looks like a good job . But you don't have to primer then?
Absorbant surfaces are ok with a diluted coat. Had about 4 coats in total as i did it with the airless after aswel
@@sprayaholic thankyou.
How come my sprayer only blows air?? I tested with water as instructed but only air. Any idea why this is happening?
Is the pipe that goes in the pot connected to the gun? Is the trigger wheel wound all the way so you can pull the trigger all the way back?
Have you checked the front end it all screwer in properly and the needle is in correctly?
How about if you want to use oil paint?
The manual says it can spray oil based aswel
How well does it spray B.I.N?
i'll test it out next week and post a video
You did not show how u pluĝged in the tool. Did u use a compressor or not?
It has a power chord attached, it has a built-in fan so it sprays once power is supplied
Not sure if I missed it but did you thin your paint with water or paint thinner?
Yes earlier on i mention and show the difference in consistency once i diluted with water
@@sprayaholic brilliant! Thank you! Do you suggest diluting the paint you’re using in the jug of the spray gun or the entire paint can? My wife and I are going to paint an accent wall for our nursery, if I bugger it my corpse will be on BBC
@MacMan306-A haha. Just dilute the amount youre using. Not the whole tub. Only do the tub if youre going to use it all.
But an accent wall id probably say it would be quicker to roll it?
Consistency of single cream or there abouts
@@sprayaholic got it, will let you know how it goes!
How much water did you add? to dilute
About 15% if i remember. Start with 10% measured out then keep adding 5% each time
I use oil based paints which need solvent to thin what sprayer should I use
That depends what you spray and your budget
@Sprayaholic I just want something cheap as I have sprays guns and a compressor. It will be used for small jobs
@amanda josiah take a look at this one then
th-cam.com/video/mNCZbSkuswo/w-d-xo.html
Hello, does it last long??? Would wish not to waste money when buying
Well its a budget unit so its not ment to constant use.
Is this "airless"? Are there any airless sprayers around the same price?
No this is hvlp. Airless budget range starts around 200 i think
What paint are you using acrylic paint or enamel
yes its acrylic paint
8:13 ha!
Ha disclaimer
SPOILER the nearly 1,400 4.5 star ratings on the Amazon page shown give away the ending...
I really enjoyed the good overview and instructions of both spray gun and how-to-use it.
Just one recommendation... please tighten your belt when kneeling over so that viewers don't have to see (sorry to say) your underwear.
Thanks for watching
Ha ye i think i need some braces to avoid the builders bum scenario
👍👍👍👏🙏
Thanks for watching
Looks better than wanger,
Seems like a copy of their cheap models
Have you tried it with Clear Coat? If yes, what are the results?
As in a 2k product? Or like a waterbased varnish?
@@sprayaholic actually more like an automotive clear coat with hardner. I do printed vinyl signs and usually use an automotive clear coat to protect the print. Based on your experience with the gun so far, do you think it will work?
@Melvon Mitchell id guess at no. I doubt its made well enough to handle to harsher cleaning products like the thinners so could ruin the seals quickly.
But spraying wise id say you could get it to spray and probably dial it in abit and get satisfactory results as apply enough and it will gel out nicely.
But it is a diy machine. So be aware if you tried it its at your own risk ha. I guess its cheap.enough to try. The cheaper units are more fiddly to get to a good spray fan.
@@sprayaholic OK. Thats along the lines of what I was thinking also. Thanks for the info.
it would have been good if when you got the paint thinned to where you liked it, then put it through the paint cup.
Just looking at the pot with the stick in cannot be related to.
Show it going through the cup!!!
Ok thanks for the input. What the stick shows in the cup is how the paint levels back into itself quickly compared to before thinning. I'll get some more videos covering it though
What about cleaning the device??
I'll make a video in the next couple of weeks for cleaning as its been asked a few times
Waterbased paints just warm soapy water and a brush and spray the clean water through when the pots been cleaned out
@@sprayaholic thank you))
8:25 crack kills
Took ages to paint with sprayer, plus time taken to mask up ,was it worth it ,no !! Get your paint brush out ,with mini roller 😊
Ha jokes. There's a massive wall next to it that's the same. 4 coats. Better finish sprayed and still faster as you don't need to wait for it to dry like the brush as it won't pull. Plus, this was literally a video to show this Diy sprayer not how fast can i spray it. I smashed it with airless afterwards. But thanks for your comment
why no primer? one scratch and thats off
Not really. Have you ever used durable matt? Diluted first coat, then 3 top coats. Its solid. Dilute for very absorbant surfaces or new plaster. Durable matt onto previous painted woodwork goes off solid aswel
@@sprayaholic i don't doubt it goes off solid, but I don't believe it will be properly bonded to the surface.
@Phillip Coupe the bond onto absorbant surfaces is just as good as the acrylic primer undercoat. Test it is the only way you'll see for yourself. If it would have scratched off i wouldn't of done it. Paints have changed over the last few years
You need to chill on the subscribe reminder edits. Way to many. Annoying. Other than that great video
Well we dont know unless we get the feedback 👍
Okay, I'm not knocking what you're doing just because I'm used to doing it 3 or 5 times faster. I just don't have the back I used to have. There's no way hell I could stand to do it that slowly.
I'm just saying whether it's the thickness of the material, the size of the spray-tip(we call it an 'orifice'.), the amount of pressure your using, I don't know, whatever, your making me physically hurt to watch.
If the results are what you were looking for, then fantastic. I promise I wasn't trying to be a dick.
ha no worries. there's a variety of followers on the page from diy to professionals. I do hit it with airless on the finish coats but sometimes I like to show the diy units and if the can actually get a finish
Loud clicking noises on that like subscribe popover are so annoying !
Thanks for the feedback, I'll alter for future videos.
m a
Copia della tiwall
So close you might as well of had a brush in your hand bud defeated the purpose there
Not really. Still faster and still gave a perfect flat even finish. Like ive said it wasnt a speed test, i was showing a budget unit in action
Close up? Orange peel? What kind of review is this!
Close up? You see at the end. You wouldnt know what id used with the end result
Idk this was kinda painful to watch 🤦 sponge Bob ,........ "Two hours later" 😅
This comment was painful to read 🙄. Its showing how a cheap unit works, did it say anywhere its as competitive as the best units or as fast as airless? But hey thanks for watching though
@@sprayaholic sorry I was talking about the spray itself, not your video specifically. 😁
@Khamp sorry dude i was on a mass hater response 🤣 apologies if i mis read
@@sprayaholic totally get it. You know, even the best actors in the world is going to be criticized by someone, that doesn't mean they're not the best. You're not going to be able to please everyone, you can't. God can't even. As long as you're happy at what you're doing. 🙂
I'm glad I didn't buy one, crap
