This is the best auto repair channel on TH-cam, IMO. This guy knows a lot more than I do but I've used a much faster and easier way to clean my hvlp guns. I simply run lacquer thinner though it just like when painting something. It seems to work just as good as disassembling the gun although I do that occasionally.
I agree that detail cleaning it thoroughly when you 1st get it is mandatory but honestly I just flush mine now... I used to detail clean my guns every time but now I just flushing it with Paint thinner (Mineral spirits) works very well and takes about 3 min. To flush it after a spraying session I open the guns setting full blast and fill the cup, shake up the gun and spray about 4-6 oz of paint thinner through it, then I clean the cup with a rag soaked in paint thinner and refill the cup with about 4oz of acetone... Spray that through it, pull the needle wipe it down with paint thinner put it back in and spray another 2oz of paint thinner through it. Then I just wipe the gun down with a rag soaked in paint thinner, and put about 1 oz of thinner into the cup and set it on its stand, I leave it "wet". Doing this makes the gun last easily about 10-20 spray sessions. And at $9.99 each once I get one that starts to spray poorly or gets "sticky" I part it out, put it in the ultra sonic cleaner it and grab a new one off the shelf, I keep 2-3 "in stock" and just buy them on sale with a 20% off coupon. I have sprayed about 12-15 gallons through my current gun using only the simple flush method and it still sprays nicely.
Also a new beginner that's also not willing to purchase a expensive gun for just one planned job. Starting tomorrow morning I'm going to be as my 1st project painting my 36ft Gulf Stream Sun Stream Hi Rise motorhome. I know a big project for a 1st time job! But with your help and others here on Utube I'm pretty sure I can do it! So wish me luck! And thanks for your help!
Didn't have skinny wrench, ground down 6" adjustable wrench in jaw area. Works great and jaws are flat inside. Needle nose vise grips tend to spread and sometimes strains them. Great video!!!
A great little gun for just dollars from Harbor Freight! Very easy to use and setup. Never used one before, attached it to my 55Gal air compressor and used it to spray stucco paint on my garage and it worked perfectly without any problems. I guess you could pay more for a higher quality gun but if your not doing a lot of paining or don't anticipate doing a lot of painting later, why spend the extra money for a better gun when this one works perfect!
Great Video!!! You addressed every concern I had and we're very detailed in your explanation in "regular" terms. As a first time user of a hvlp spray gun you have given me the confidence I needed to tackle my painting project without any apprehension. Blessings to you!
The front nozzle mount assembly can be removed with an allen wrench. Once the nozzle and tip are removed, look inside the front of the gun and you'll see the key.
I needed this. My gun came with tools and a 9mm tube wrench that fits inside the body. It looked as though that threaded piece that the nozzle cap threads on to was meant to come off. It does not. And I see he didn't his either. Good info.
Great teaching video. I am a beginner. Just bought my harbor freight paint gun and have used it twice. For cleaning you used lacquer thinner, why not paint thinner or acetone and what is the difference?
I read somewhere that you can eliminate the built in air pressure regulator on hvlp guns by taking it out completely and just using a block off plug in its place.
HF offers this purple HVLP gun in two different part numbers, same price, but one comes with the wrench and one does not. Also, there is assembly lube in the adjustment for the fan spray and built in regulator screw as well.
Tip only: Take a common bread twist tie that has plastic on it and burn off or melt the plastic off with a lighter or match. The metal left is excellent for cleaning out small holes or orifices with. Better than a toothpick in reality. Do up a couple of them to keep in your cleaning setup kit.
Super smart for folks who don't have any type of small needles! I have some from a wig-head and much smaller ones from 3d printer nozzles, but this tip is legit
After I finish painting, I usually fill the cup with thinner, and run the whole cup of thinner through the gun before disassembling to clean. It helps preclean everything
@ 4 mins 23 secs into video, you said use 19-20 mm wrench, untrue unless have specialty wrench which is way thinner. I just purchased one of these today (correct on not having included wrench) BTW behind that nozzle the copper section un-threads and loads of factory lube in in that section. Great video besides what I noticed though upon cleaning mine :)
From my background in chemistry and also doing auto painting at home for some years.... Here's my thoughts on you question: No, you need use the same solvent that is used in the paint, to clean the gun. This assumes you are talking about latex paint of true water-based clear coats for house stuff, furniture, etc. As opposed to the newer "water-borne" automotive solvent-based coverings. So for cleaning a spray gun used for latex paint, use warm, mildly soapy water. Latex paint sets up pretty fast where expose to air, so clean the gun soon and you'll need toothbrush etc to remove the congealed latex from the nooks and crannies. Having said all this, I don't think you would ever use the Harbor Freight gun in the video for latex paint....... I think it's not designed for that. I noticed that the HF gun in the above video has a 1.5 mm tip, this is still borderline (i.e. a bit too small) to safely spray latex paint without clogging. Latex pain is SOOOO thick compared to automotive finished. I use an old Campbel-Hausfeld spray gun with a 1.9 or 2.0 mm tip for spraying latex paint on trim work (like baseboards, crown moulding.....) before installing to the house. For painting cars, I use this HF gun but it has the 1.4 tip. I only use it for spraying 2K primer but I could use it for clear if I had to. I use the HF Black Widow HTE spary gun with a 1.3 tip for spraying basecoat (i.e. color). Hope this helps. If you want a great TH-cam channel dedicated to painting like a pro at home, check out ThePaintSociety YT channel. I've learned a lot from him. Good luck.
So I’m buying this paint gun this weekend and my first project is to paint trim pieces that I’m gonna remove from my vehicle would be your suggestion on prep and paint that I should use to pieces to be black and then I’m gonna use white on other pieces
Thank you. I wanted something smaller to use for furniture finishes and this will be it. I now know what my shopping list will be prior to going to harbor freight.
Great job I have 2 of these as I bought the second one to replace the clogged first now 2 clogged lol I'm fixing the this evening,. What's the best pressure for PolyU?
I 'd seen other videos..they only bla bla,bla about their personal life and they forget to do something I.in Between video. But you pretty much explain step by step. Cuz my spray gun was cloth. Thanks to your video. I got the job done !....
As soon as I'm done spraying, I dump out the remaining paint and then run lacquer thinner through the gun, shake it up, dump it and then do it again with more fresh thinner. I rarely disassemble my guns because running the lacquer thinner through them immediately takes care of that problem. Also...never let the paint sit inside the gun for long.....ESPECIALLY if you're using any kind of hardener in your paint.
Ditto. Doing this makes the gun last about 10-20 spray sessions. And at $9.99 each once you get one that sprays poorly or gets "sticky" I part it out and ultra sonic it and/or scrap it. I have sprayed about 12-15 gallons through my current gun using only the simple flush method and it still sprays nicely.
i tried threading the piece back in that goes against the spring, I noticed you skipped past that because it took me like 10 times to squish the spring far enough to tighten it
Hey, thanks man. Just picked up this gun today. The tips about the teflon tape and not using the filter are totally awesome. I was wondering why the cup threads were a so huge...it's for the tape...PERFECT! thanks again.
I took an 11/16 open ended wrench and grounded it to a 19 mm and ground the sides to make it more narrow of a wrench, All I used was a 4-inch angle grinder, took about 15 minutes but it works perfect, It fits the nut on the bottom of the cup for a little extra snug. Great video
Hi. Thanks for the vid. I just used one of these. When I removed the fluid nozzle with the wrench, the nozzle came off along with the brass part, the white o-ring and the black, plastic washer thing. I couldn't just get the nozzle to come off.
I had the same problem...... at first. Then I used the skinny wrench for paint guns (I had from another....), and used a 10mm allen socket (on a 1/2 inch drive wratchet) to unscrew these two parts from each other. They were VERY TIGHT, and hard to separate. It's a bad spray gun design, because there's parts to clean on BOTH sides of the threaded brass thingy. You MUST remove and clean the silver nozzle gadget (separate from the brass threaded base) after spraying 2K primer, because you could have caked-on primer accumulating in the center channel. Likewise, on the other side there is the black round plastic flow-ring between the threaded brass part and the spray gun body. What I do is I re-assemble these parts with only gentle torque, for easy removal later (they won't leak while spraying under pressure). This is the only HPLV spray gun I've seen that makes it this hard to completely clean the gun. Yes, the above video didn't mention this additional step of disassemby for cleaning.
Biggest issue with my gun is the fan pattern itself; it's only about 4" tall. I believe mine is just junk, because I cant imagine this gun being popular if the fan is so small on all of them. I bought the HF Professional model and the fan is perfect and it atomizes/sprays metallics great. Worth the $45.
question read alot about doing a pre clean before using it. I know after painting many use lacquer thinner am I safe using acetone for pre cleaning as thats what I have on hand atm going to get some thinner tomorrow
Great, quick, to-the-point video. Always clear what's going on and you explain well, especially for the inexperienced. Not to mention I like that this is an "every-man's" tool not some five hundred dollar deal the average person isn't using. Thanks
Best video I've seen on this gun, thank you! Just shot Benjamin Moore Advanced, diluted with 10% water and it came out smooth as glass! I also did the mod on the nozzle and bored it out to 2mm.
I just got one of these guns and none of the factory seals were close to tight enough to hold air. I pretty clearly got a bad gun, but it's a half hour each way in traffic to get back to the shop, so it's easier to fix the gun. It holds air now, but only just.
about the paint cup seal - instead of teflon tape that might fragment and clog, why not put a neoprene O-ring inside the cup threads, like a garden hose O-ring?
Hi thanks for the video, very helpful. I am just wondering, would it be pointless or harmful to the gun to pour straight thinner into the cup, then spraying to clean it out after painting? I'm new to spraying, I bought the gun an plan on spraying my chicken coop an just wanted to make sure I don't ruin my gun.
After I let go of the trigger air still comes out ? Should I take apart the trigger ? No paint comes out when I let off but air still travels through the gun
I'm going to use this to spray water based paint from the rustoleum cabinet restoration kit. Will this work? Should I thin the paint? I assume I would clean it with water.
Glad I found this video. It was great. I was surprised to find that no wrench came with it. Not only that but they don't sell any for removing the nozzle. I've looked in several stores with no luck. Is there a particular name for the wrench and do you know where I could get one?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Could you shows us how and where to buy proper tip size for primer, top coat, and clear coat, and also how to do small repair paint , thin paint etc. Again thank you for your time. Very much appreciated.
Good video. It would be nice if the wrench came with it. I just bought that same gun yesterday and have no way to take the nozzle out for proper cleaning.
Old video but worth an ask - If I'm spraying water based paints and finishes only, do I still need to use lacquer thinner or would I use (distilled) water?
Great video- Just 1 question- You mention " Lacquer Thinner"- Can anything else be used, Like acetone or and solvent. I mean besides soap and water like the mfg. recommends...
@@davidblaska4738 it's better from I'm reading to clean it before use due to the assembly oil they use which in paint will cause some type of deficiencies such as bubbles runs .. esp if your spraying cars or somthing like that
This is the BEST training video I have EVER seen. No kidding. No flowery blah blah blah. Straightforward and to the point. Thank you!

Thanks again dude I was an auto repair tech for 30 years just started getting into small painting projects.
+Joe Dov Nice, painting stuff is more elbow grease and patience than anything else. That is once you get the basics down. cheers
Just used this gun today my first time ever painting with a paint gun. This video was my teacher.
This is awesome!!! Thank you!!! I’m a noob with painting and this is my first spray gun! This is comprehensive and well explained!
' just got a gun from Harbor. It included s bad set of minimal direcrions. Iset it up and got unacceptal results. Your vid saved the day. Thanks pal!

Do you recommend fully cleaning this gun before the first use? Or just spraying the thinner through it the first time?

Spraying tomorrow morning for the first time ever. Thanks boss!
How did it go
Possibly the best, most comprehensive TH-cam video I have ever seen. Thank you for your attention to detail.
Great video! What pressure would you use for spraying autobourne sealer. Thanks
Best video I've seen on this gun, thank you! Just shot Benjamin Moore Advanced, diluted with 10% water and it came out smooth as glass! I also did the mod on the nozzle and bored it out to 2mm.
Hi just like to know where did you buy the air pressure guage? And the other gadget? Thank you.
I just got one of these guns and none of the factory seals were close to tight enough to hold air. I pretty clearly got a bad gun, but it's a half hour each way in traffic to get back to the shop, so it's easier to fix the gun. It holds air now, but only just.
Very informative, and to the point! Just purchased the same gun. Thanks
A question t tape breakers up when screwing in. Would that or pieces fall in the gun.
Just bought this gun yesterday, and this vid really helped a lot, thank you very much.
Great video! Just purchased this gun tonight and this was great video to help me get started!!
Dont turn that fluid tip all the way out make a mark on your fluid knob and turn 2-3 turns out
about the paint cup seal - instead of teflon tape that might fragment and clog, why not put a neoprene O-ring inside the cup threads, like a garden hose O-ring?

Excellent presentation! You are a superior teacher! Thank you!
Great video, I appreciate the way you broke down the gun and explain every detail to cleaning.
.Very nicely done. Just bought this gun and working on learning....your video helped a lot.
Good review I have the same gun but have never used it .
Now I feel like at least I know what all I need to get started . Thanks !!!
James Jarrell Np, this gun is a very good bang for your buck. GL
Just a thought... wouldn't it be a good idea on a new gun, to also clean the air passage where the air enters the gun?
Picked up my first HF spray gun and this vid helped a lit. Thanks!
Excellent video- very clear and thorough.
Thank you for the video and showing how to take apart and put the paint gun back together and paint.
I'm going to use this to spray water based paint from the rustoleum cabinet restoration kit. Will this work? Should I thin the paint? I assume I would clean it with water.
Glad I found this video. It was great. I was surprised to find that no wrench came with it. Not only that but they don't sell any for removing the nozzle. I've looked in several stores with no luck. Is there a particular name for the wrench and do you know where I could get one?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. Could you shows us how and where to buy proper tip size for primer, top coat, and clear coat, and also how to do small repair paint , thin paint etc. Again thank you for your time. Very much appreciated.
Thank you very much for the vid. Just bought this gun today, it’s a big help.
Very thorough adjusting and cleaning instructions, thanks.
Good video. It would be nice if the wrench came with it. I just bought that same gun yesterday and have no way to take the nozzle out for proper cleaning.
My fluid tip doesn't separate from the price behind it. Will this be a problem down the line?
Can you use acetone instead of lacquer thinner? It's just what I have. Or mineral spirits?
I just bought that air gun, now I know how to clean it!
Old video but worth an ask - If I'm spraying water based paints and finishes only, do I still need to use lacquer thinner or would I use (distilled) water?
Could you link those two accessories you like to use on your gun?
Thanks! Just picked one of these up for a boat trailer re-primer and paint : - ) your instructions are much appreciated!
Just what is should be. Short, simple, and to the point.
Thank you ever so much for ALL your videos!!! Very thorough, and informative, thanks a million!!! Greetings from a Czech Chick
Great video- Just 1 question- You mention " Lacquer Thinner"- Can anything else be used, Like acetone or and solvent. I mean besides soap and water like the mfg. recommends...
Going to get one of these guns soon. Never took one apart. Thanks for the video.
Would have never thought you had to clean it before even using it! Wow thanks you saved my bacon
I think he was just demonstrating on a clean gun.
@@davidblaska4738 it's better from I'm reading to clean it before use due to the assembly oil they use which in paint will cause some type of deficiencies such as bubbles runs .. esp if your spraying cars or somthing like that
Thank you thank you thank you just what this total beginner needed!!
These are the instructions that Harbor Freight should have included, thanks
Can you swap out for a larger nozzle?
Thanks a lot for this video. I needed someone to tell me how to set up and clean my H.F. HVLP gun.
What hose do you use to connect from spray gun to compressor?
I just spray thinner through and go again
How should I take care of the paint gun during 15min breaks between coatings?
Probably a dumb question but how do you dispose of laquer thinner
Another great video. You're my favorite car guy on TH-cam
The variant with the pressure regulator has the wrench in it, so buy that one as a first gun. Just a few dollars more.
You have to do this every time you use it?
Nice ! Video very detailed and to the point and explained in very simple terms. Thank you learned a lot. 👍
