I just got one and have been repainting all the deteriorated areas on my wife's silver Jeep Liberty. This is the first time using a gravity fed gun. I'm really impressed with it. the paint work came out super. Thanks for your detailed review of this Aeropro A 610 spray gun. I hope lots of people watch your video's. you do a great job.
I picked one of these up last week to do a blend job. It came out perfect right down to the pressure settings that you suggested. This video was really helpful for a beginner like myself.
What's up UPK. New to the channel but been watching a bunch of your videos. Really, only did painting with spray bombs and was reluctant to pop on a dedicated gun. Gotta thank you for the knowledge you share. I purchased my A610 last week and did a grill and mirrors for my truck. Night and day difference from a spray bomb. Used the settings you layed out and all was good. Didn't even get a run. I appreciate the knowledge you share that helps a novice like me find the confidence to step outside our comfort zone.
For everyone doing at home stuff with limited compressor power these type guns are blessing!!!!! Might add this to the mix, i use the iwata iwakuni for epoxy/base/clear/kandy lmbo!!! Great work at usual from the UGK!! Keep up the content buddy, luv the channel, what clear u use
UPK!!! Thanks for the videos. I got a project car and decided to paint it. After watching your videos I’ve been getting the supplies. I just ordered me this gun. I do have a question. Is it better to take all the panels off and paint them separately or leave them on the car? Which is better and why? Thank you for time sir.
You’re welcome and I appreciate you watching the videos 🙏🏽 it really depends on what color you’re doing as far as a solid color or a metallic, also if you’re doing the inside jambs and under the hood and trunk. You get a cleaner job in my opinion if you have the time and know how to take the car apart but you can achieve a nice job with the vehicle together as well. If doing a solid color you can spray it together or apart with out much issues but I think spraying the metallic together makes for a better job and less issues with color match. I hope that helps 💯
Hi, let me tell you as a professional painter, unless you can stage your car’s panels as they bolt into the body and have the rhythm to spray them you will get a horrible color match! Cut/trim your parts in and spend some time in masking your jambs with care and quality Focus on a 75 percent overlap with your color, if it’s a high metallics, get your color even and be patient, you have a 72 hour window to fix basecoat. Tack rags, tack rags, can’t say enough, when that base goes dead dull tack it off! Solvent base coat can always be fine sanded with some 1000 grit and water, waterborne use a solvent degreaser and fine paper! Clear for the novice/ beginner! No disrespect, get an even coat on the car, when you can touch the wettest point on your paper and it doesn’t make a string just nail the car, use good practice, sensible overlap, a big fan and keep it wet!! Best I can do without my hands on the car, remember one thing! A little rough clear coat and finish can easily be buffed out, a bunch of runs are easily a bunch of money! Take your time,
Great video,! How is the overspray, it looks pretty good. It also looks a lot like harbor freights black widow. Also, you might want to move your compressor out of the spray area so you don't go boom. We all like you too much for that.
Hey can you help me I bought a R500 and cleaned it good and put some silver base in it to try the gun out using Wanda brand paint and when I pulled the trigger to spray a fender it was pulsing it would spray then hesitate then spray real fast again it would be like pulsing can anybody tell me what that is?
Got One, Just did my 80 Vette hood Base Clear. Best 60 Dollars I ever spent in my life. Little overspray for Garage, all paint went on part. I will only use this gun for base clear. My other gun cost 3 times this price and now it's just a lonely primer gun! Great Video dude!
Just bought one, based on this video. I plan to buy another two to cover primer and base. I have the disposable cups and adapter already. Can't wait for it to arrive.
I have a video explaining how I setup my compressor which I’ll give you the link to th-cam.com/video/G0CYIwbSmGo/w-d-xo.html I don’t use any dryer setups just a new filter on my spray gun and I use 25-50ft depending on what I’m doing. I hope that helps and I appreciate you checking out the video!
I just watched this video after ordering this gun today. I was mainly looking to see how to set the gun up, but it turns out you used the same compressor my brother has. I have to repaint the hood on his truck using single stage paint, as he is totally against base/clear after it started falling off from a bad repair job a body shop did on it after a wreck. I painted it last year with Rustoleum spray cans, but it's peeling in one place. I decided to get this gun, and strip the hood, then put good paint on it. Now I have to go watch your video on setting up the compressor. Thanks for the videos UPK!
Question- when you are spraying bumpers in the garage with cars in the background, what kind of exhaust are you using. Lots of us. Aren"t real exhaust educated!! Really like your work and post.tks
@@bleu8883 I have exhaust fans in the walls of the shop and in my paint booth which runs through filters, really a simple but effective setup! I appreciate you checking out the videos 🙏🏽💯
looks really nice the R500[a610 sprays really nice ...im looking at buying the same paint gun i can get it at $125 for the kit . what are your thoughts.....i will be spraying black cherry it has pearl and metel flake ..what tip would i use ..?..
SprayIT’s cousin is laying it down!! Great review and if I wasn’t already in love with my two R500’s I’d snatch one of these up too. Hope all is well UPK
Hey bro, I’ve been a professional refinisher in the automotive industry since 1987 and did nothing but mega expensive Euro cars for decades. I’m DuPont certified, ICI Autocolor Certified, Spies Hector certified, anyway blah , blah who cares it just a paint job right? I’ve trained countless helpers into painters in 30 years and really look at what I do as a “Yawn” job, however this industry has take a financial hit and young people need honest equipment that works exceptionally well and every single day. I applaud you because you give a real time data, also you have the exact bumper spraying technique as I do”must have watched me sometimes “ lol. I think it sucks that a young person is expected to spend $3,000 on just spray equipment to show up on the first day, it’s paint gun snobbery . I steer my helpers to the Astro Euro pro HTE and LVLP for their first purchase and have laid down more clear with the HTE gun on “wealthy “ customers cars lol that would make them roll over in their Porsche! I always held my purple cap LPH to the highest regards for very complex blends but I spent $116 bucks on an Astro just to try it (Orange one -LVLP) , if you ever had solvent packing and modeling issues with really high metallics like “”( Ice blues) and pure extra fine Met silvers, this things rocks on my $550 dollar gun. Check it out, keep up the nice work.
Thanks I really appreciate you and all the work you’ve done and all the people you’ve helped and I’m simply doing my best to help and show people the different ways to go about the paint industry because we are losing a lot of people wanting to get into it just because of what they believe it’ll cost to get started 🤦🏽♂️ thank you for the info on the different spray guns you like and I’ll check into them 🙏🏽💯
I cant get the whole kit as cheap where i live, the gun with only one tip is about the same price as you mention. I'm interested in a cheap gun that i can use for primers/fillers for smaller repair jobs. Painting a bumper would be largest job i ever do. At the moment i do fine with spray cans for base and 2k clear coat, but 2k primers/fillers are pretty expensive in spray cans. What tip would you recommend i buy ?
King, another great video. One question. You are saying small compressor. What is considered as small compressor? For example I have a 20 gallon compressor which produce 4 CFM at 90 PSI. I want to paint an old VW beetle. Can my compressor keep up to paint the whole car or need break in between to catch up? Thanks again
If your compressor can output the cfm needed to supply the spray gun consistently , then you should be able to spray your VW without having to wait for the compressor to catch up Borna Nel, I hope that helps!
thanks ! I just ordered one since i was less than just the 1.8 tip for my devilbliss. Painting those fender extensions for a 1977 Eldorado. The fiberglass parts are off the car right now.
@@UndergroundPaintKing it will. In automotive class, we have two bootths and Sata guns that are dialed in, that is very nice for a someone like with me with little experience. When you are painting and see defects and say, to yourself, damn, I should have spent more time prepping, then you know it is going to work out. And if not, as my truck painter friend says, sand it all off and start over !!!
@@UndergroundPaintKing UPK, I just used it and a little rough starting out, but once I got the pressures right, really, really happy with it. I shot that slick sand polyester primer in 1.7 tip. two coats on the eldorado fender extensions, looking forward to the color coat ! Thank you !! Happy camper here !
I finally put mine together and having problems setting my air pressure.It keeps dropping to 0 and goes to 20 it won't adjust to the number i want.Is the regulator on my gun defective or user errror.
You’re welcome and I’m glad the video was helpful and it’s best to set the spray gun at full fan and full fluid as a general starting point, then depending on the products you’re spraying make adjustments while spraying test panels to get the spray gun dialed in to your liking
@@louispd6828 again that depends on the products you’re using but I personally like to spray between 26-30 psi. I’m normally 26-28 psi for base coat and 30 psi for clear coat but play around with the psi for the product you’re spraying to find what works best for you
Hey Bro´...starting with : I think there is no channel, where I learned as much as here - and this means learning from the scratch with important topics like compressor settings, gun settings, PSI setting and more. I am into DIY with all work on engines and stuff like this, but this one got me into spraying. Started with bumpers and stuff and next month full paint job on my beloved daily. I think with the knowledge I got from your vids and with two R500´s and two A610´s I am well prepped. The only thing that is missing to start the job would be a UPK Hoodie...time to order myself one :)
I really appreciate you Alf K🙏🏽 I’m glad the channel has been helpful to you and I hope it continues to help 💯 good luck on your project, I know you’ll kill it with those spray guns💪🏾
I honestly can’t say that it just sprays better than the original version, but it’s a upgrade on the body and getting the 3 tips and the affordable price which makes it worth it, I will do more spraying with it to see if it’s a difference
I used 4 versions of this gun from Amazon. There hit and miss. Mine came with 2 different air horn sizes. And 1.3 tip sprays strange when spraying metallics. I spray at 25 psi base coat. And I highly advise you throw away the air regulator. Since they don't work properly. The drizzle however d1 gun has a really nice gauge . And for clear coats this gun needs 30+ psi to work properly . It's a usable gun but I'm returning mine to Amazon since it sprays uneven which is common flaw .
I f----tup and bought a too small of air compressor. Very glad to hear there is a spray gun that will do a pro job with a little compressor. You changed materials, and you changed tips. Do you ever shoot a pattern on paper or wall or something? You made it clear you changed air pressures. How did you arrive at the change. Thanks
I honestly don’t change my pattern much so I don’t do a lot of pattern test but it is good to check your patterns, the most changes that I might make is in my air pressure
How do you think this will do spraying pearls and intercoats? Im thinking of running a Husky 20/27gal compressor and converting my garage to a 'booth' haha i need to paint my small car (nissan 240sx) and maybe my truck.
Hello! Thanks! Too many good videos. I have painted a Bumper. And when I set up my AeroPro A608, no Air came out. I have set my Air Compressor so that it holds at least 4 Bar up to the Gun. And then I have an Air manometer that gives the gun 2 Bar of air. And the gun's own air screw is fully open. That's how I had it set up yesterday. And then it went well. But now only clear coat came out, when I tried the Spray Pattern on a cardboard box. I wonder if you can figure out what is wrong. I have cleaned the gun after I finished the painting yesterday. And I have assembled the Gun, after cleaning it in the Right way. Thanks! From an Amateur called Tommy from Sweden
Something is blocking your air between the compressor to the spray gun so I would go through the system you have set up and see what is causing the issue
Looks like a great gun UPK! When compressor size is not an issue, would this be a better gun when compared to the HF black widow or an entry level Iwata? I ask because I will be spraying a classic VW van using an inflatable booth, and the booth is slow removing the overspray. The van bolt on panels will be sprayed first then later the roof and then the body. With the R500 gun would I still get good results with the larger panels on the van? Would the parts dry time be an issue with a smaller fan and possibly spraying at a slower speed? I will like to be able to follow the paint wet edge without the clouds of paint in the air and it looks to me that one of the benefits of this gun is not having a thick cloud in the air. Greatly appreciate your advice.
This spray gun would be good on a bigger compressor and will give you less overspray as well, I like the black widow and would go with it also but you would have more overspray with it but if overspray is a issue in the inflatable paint booth, the Aeropro would be a good choice
Great video, I was mezmerised watching you spray that bumper! Looks like the perfect gun to match to my small 50 litre compressor. Out of interest, what were the other gun settings you used to get such an amazing result and what disposable cup system do you use on the gun? Gonna check out your other video now on setting up a compressor. Thanks man.
Thanks Beemsquar1, I appreciate you checking out the videos and my settings with this spray gun is normally full fan and full fluid also the cups are the Spectrum disposable cups from Harbor Freight
@@UndergroundPaintKing ordered it yesterday... should have it this week..looking like it might be a smart move from the 'Starting line' gun I have had for a while..I shall let you know how it goes for sure
Hi from Australia @undergroundpaintking. I have grabbed a A610 from amazon and learnt loads from your videos thanks heaps. Im preparing a Vw beetle for paint and was wondering is the gun with the 1.7 tip capable of spraying high build 2k primer or should I get a 2mm tip or another gun all together? Thanks again the channel has helped a lot 👍🏻
Hey Chris, I appreciate you checking out the channel from Australia it really means a lot to me 🙏🏽 unless your primer recommends a 2mm tip you should be good with the 1.7 tip, hope that helps 💯
Will an 8 gallon compresssor with a 4.1 SCFM work with this spray gun to paint an entire car? I mean this spray gun is rated at 3.5-3.9 CFM so may it could work. I don't have a garage to work in so have very little room to store a big compressor.
It’ll work for you but with that small of a tank I’m sure the compressor will be running the whole time so make sure to drain the tank so that you won’t get water in your line while painting
@@UndergroundPaintKing I found a kit with 3 nozzles including 1.3 1.5 1.7 but it's 120 dollar. Do you recommend a different lvlp for this price? Or would you still go for it?
@@DatFunnyPerson I didn’t know the price on them have went up that much but it’s not a bad price, but check into the original r500 and see what the prices are looking like
Bro, i love your videos and really appreciate you taking the time to teach us newbies. I gotta say though, you make this shit look too easy. Just sprayed the bed and tailgate on my 97 Sierra with the A610. The basecoat came out good. The clear was an absolute nightmare. It has more runs than the Boston Marathon. Not just a couple here and there, everywhere. Please give me some advice on how to fix it. I would show pics but i don't know how to get them to you. Thanks
Full fan and full fluid is how I set this spray gun up and depending what materials you’re spraying you can make small adjustments from there, hope that helps!
The cup can be ran upside down as well as using the disposable cups which cuts down on cleaning also you can have multiple cups ready to go and all you have to do is detach from one cup and attach to another and keep painting
I watched your gun set up video. So every time you spray, you’re doing so with wide open fluid and fan? I’ve been spraying with mine at 3 turns out from closed and 20 PSI and getting orange peel in my BC. Thanks for all your knowledge you share
@@UndergroundPaintKing thanks. Painted this morning. By far the best paint job I’ve b ever done!!! Slight trash and one run in my hood I painted today. No biggie I’ll use your other video in how to remove runs and do the whole hood. Those gun setting are perfect. I always watch your psi numbers you post in videos. Thanks!
As of right now I don’t think it’s a real big difference between the original R500 and the redesigned R500 other than the body, so it’s a few differences but not much but definitely the same great spray gun
Needle sets are the same, just the body is redesigned. I notice the needle seal behind the trigger is a bushing, the older R500 guns are oring. Bushing is kinda rough, the oring is smoother. Weight are about the same.
UPK what's up I'm definitely new to your channel and what color is that paint, from watching your work I just got the courage to paint my own vehicle and I'm ordering everything today cause as a beginner I know I can do it,, from watching the UPK preciate it
What’s up Camouflage, I appreciate you subscribing to the channel and I’m glad you have decided to paint your own vehicle 💯 I don’t remember the paint code right now but I’ll try to find it for you, it’s a GM color
Thanks Larry, I appreciate you and I think you’re talking about the R500, I haven’t seen the 510 but here is a video I did that might be what you’re asking about th-cam.com/video/LWCHXFZLwP8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=krr95bS8dH261ock
Here is the video where I explain all the information on the new R500, I also talk about the tips and needles in this video, thanks for watching the video!
@@UndergroundPaintKing Wasn't able to find that exact gun found a couple semilunar but what I found was $125. Witch still not bad but I don't need another paint gun right now I have nine I think !
The best setting is going to be determined by the material you’re spraying, it’s best to do test panels before spraying your project to see what works best for the materials you’re using
Had one couple weeks now Mine lays down ok same as yours looks ok but drys really peely n seems like thick peel like there not enough air coming through…what’s best set up because I tried a couple different ones and only one I think is best is wide open fan and fluid and 32 psi for clear cost. Just hate flat and polishing and seem to be doing it a lot more now as it seems to always lay down thick even on other settings that copied from other people.
Looks like they're back in stock... I'm bout to do several paint jobs & I'm bout to order one of these... just put it on my Amazon list waiting on payday... what you were saying about spraying different materials, make me want at least 3 different sprayers, one specifically for primer/sealer, one specifically for white, because there's always a speck of color you missed that's going straight into a white paint job, & one for everything else... maybe even one just for clear too, so there's never any color contamination in the clear... I've already got the one I'm gonna use for primer/sealer...need some for color & clear now...🖖🏿😎👍🏿
I have a habit of over buying tools, but I've never regretted having multiple options for tools... definitely an investment... I have the exact same air compressor... which I'm very happy with... I'm just now getting an air system I can plug it into & use a drier/filter straight off the tank that then runs to a filter/regulator that I can run my sprayers with to have clean, dry air for painting... I got a few of my own vehicles to paint, & I'm gonna restore a tractor for a friend of mine for practice on body & paint work too before I spray my 1969 C10... I don't want the C10 to be the first vehicle I paint, so I gotta practice...Lol! You seem to get good results, so I'll keep watching how you spray, so maybe mine will turn out that smooth too...🖖🏿😎👍🏿
Oh, it is... I should have my initial setup sprayable soon... I only need to spray primer right now anyway...paint is a little bit further down the road... but I watch how you go about spraying the vehicles, where to start, how to proceed, overlap, maintain wet edge... won't be long & I'll be practicing myself...first project will likely be one of my motorcycles... gotta fully disassemble it, paint frame & everything... gotta re-clear the saddlebags on my Road King too... I'll eventually repaint my daily driver for practice too... I've always wanted to paint vehicles, even went to school for paint & body back in the 80s when I was a teenager, just never actually went to work in the industry...life had other plans...Lol! Maybe I can do some of that now that I'm retired...
hello, what Tip should I use for base coat and Clear Coat, Thanks to your video I am very motivated to Do it myself with zero experience :) my car looks Ugly already so nothing to lose. Thank you again man great video!!!
Hi UPK, I have 2 questions, If i have a small nick on a plastic bumper cover that's been repaired, do I have to use adhesion promoter? 2nd questions is, do I have to use a flex.agent in the paint? Thanks!
What it do Joseph, 1st you don’t have to use a adhesion promoter for a bumper cover that’s been painted already,if the existing paint is good and you just have a small repair you should be good to fix the damage and paint it. 2nd I personally don’t use a flex agent in my paint and have no issues so it could be good to use but not necessary but depends on you if you want to use or not. I hope that helps and I appreciate you checking out the video!
Watching this video a year later. But just got my A610 yesterday. Mine came with the adapter for the disposable cups, but the regulator it comes with is junk.
With a 5 hp 20 gallon tank how long will it take me to put one coat of base with a lvlp gun ,on my 68 camaro how long did it take you to paint one base coat on that SUV you painted compared to a 60 gallon tank and a hvlp gun is it about like using a rattle can or what ? Thank you for your advice
I honestly don’t know how long it took me or how long it will take you to paint your Camaro, I don’t keep up with the time it takes me to paint a vehicle and focus more on applying the paint but I would think it would take 20 minutes to apply the entire first coat, maybe more maybe less
Hey UPKing! I used your link and ordered my 610 yesterday and I got it today! It came with a 1.3, 1.5 and 1.7 tips. I’ve got a job to paint outside but alas we have rain the next 2 days here in Florida. I can’t wait to use it. I’ll let you know in a few days how it does. Thanks again for your videos and recommendations.
@@UndergroundPaintKing Thanks. I ordered the R500 gun, and the sold separately 1.7 and 2.0 tips, using your Amazon link! Gonna shoot my '89 IROC Z Vert, in OE RED, in a couple of weeks. I will be painting, of course, the OE urethane bumper covers, too. Only my 3RD full car spray, ever. Wish me luck and a Blessing! Any recommend for auto paint, online? BC/CC or poly Single Stage? What is more "Forgiving" for a novice, garage guy? Thank you, Michael
I've just got the R500, but just cannot remove the nossle, the screw wont move. I saw the same thing in the video. What do you suggest? I don't want to break anything..
What cup set up are you using ? I had a painter at a body shop give me 3m pps cup and liners but I can’t seem to find an adapter to fit the do you have any suggestions thx
Thanks for the info I ordered and it worked out perfectly your videos have given me the confidence to be able to do some painting I’ve done my old Harley with a rattle can
Looks great, Boss. It's still too cold to be doing any painting (half way between Milwaukee and Chicago) , so I can wait for them to restock. When we get the new R500/A610, will it be coming with that autographed picture of the UPK? Thanks for a great demo.
Hello UPK, Man that came out nice for a garage setting! I have a couple of questions. Are the R500 tips interchangeable with the A610? meaning will the 1.3, 1.7 etc of the new A610 fit in your other 3 R500? My 2nd question. When you paint a body panel off the car like the bumper cover you just did how much time must you allow to pass before you can flip it over and paint the other side and not damage the fresh paint you just laid down? I know you won't paint that inside of that bumper cover but let's say a steel hood? If you want the exterior color to be on the underside? Thanks!!
I honestly believe the tips will interchange and work between the original R500 and the redesigned R500/A610. I would give the paint 2-3 days to cure before I flipped the panel over to paint the other side. If possible you could come up with a way to hang the hood and paint both sides at the same time also
I just got one and have been repainting all the deteriorated areas on my wife's silver Jeep Liberty. This is the first time using a gravity fed gun. I'm really impressed with it. the paint work came out super. Thanks for your detailed review of this Aeropro A 610 spray gun. I hope lots of people watch your video's. you do a great job.

R500 or A610? I’m going to buy one or the other on Amazon but I know they’re slightly different
Not much of a big difference but if I had to choose I’d probably go with the A610
What's up UPK. New to the channel but been watching a bunch of your videos. Really, only did painting with spray bombs and was reluctant to pop on a dedicated gun. Gotta thank you for the knowledge you share. I purchased my A610 last week and did a grill and mirrors for my truck. Night and day difference from a spray bomb. Used the settings you layed out and all was good. Didn't even get a run. I appreciate the knowledge you share that helps a novice like me find the confidence to step outside our comfort zone.

For everyone doing at home stuff with limited compressor power these type guns are blessing!!!!! Might add this to the mix, i use the iwata iwakuni for epoxy/base/clear/kandy lmbo!!! Great work at usual from the UGK!! Keep up the content buddy, luv the channel, what clear u use
Thanks I appreciate you Christian and I used a Transtar clear for this bumper cover but I use Grant7 for the good stuff!
UPK!!! Thanks for the videos. I got a project car and decided to paint it. After watching your videos I’ve been getting the supplies. I just ordered me this gun. I do have a question. Is it better to take all the panels off and paint them separately or leave them on the car? Which is better and why? Thank you for time sir.
You’re welcome and I appreciate you watching the videos 🙏🏽 it really depends on what color you’re doing as far as a solid color or a metallic, also if you’re doing the inside jambs and under the hood and trunk. You get a cleaner job in my opinion if you have the time and know how to take the car apart but you can achieve a nice job with the vehicle together as well. If doing a solid color you can spray it together or apart with out much issues but I think spraying the metallic together makes for a better job and less issues with color match. I hope that helps 💯
Thank you for your response. I’ll be using a black metallic paint so I’ll leave it together. 👍🏾
@@michaelcampbell8927 you’re welcome and I’m glad I could help!
Hi, let me tell you as a professional painter, unless you can stage your car’s panels as they bolt into the body and have the rhythm to spray them you will get a horrible color match!
Cut/trim your parts in and spend some time in masking your jambs with care and quality
Focus on a 75 percent overlap with your color, if it’s a high metallics, get your color even and be patient, you have a 72 hour window to fix basecoat. Tack rags, tack rags, can’t say enough, when that base goes dead dull tack it off!
Solvent base coat can always be fine sanded with some 1000 grit and water, waterborne use a solvent degreaser and fine paper!
Clear for the novice/ beginner! No disrespect, get an even coat on the car, when you can touch the wettest point on your paper and it doesn’t make a string just nail the car, use good practice, sensible overlap, a big fan and keep it wet!!
Best I can do without my hands on the car, remember one thing!
A little rough clear coat and finish can easily be buffed out, a bunch of runs are easily a bunch of money!
Take your time,
Hey King, are the needle/nozzle/air caps interchangeable with the regular R 500?
I believe that they are Billy, I haven’t tried it yet but I’m positive they’ll work 👌🏾
Great video,! How is the overspray, it looks pretty good. It also looks a lot like harbor freights black widow. Also, you might want to move your compressor out of the spray area so you don't go boom. We all like you too much for that.
The overspray is very minimal Tim and I appreciate the concern and will definitely move the compressor 🙏🏽💯
Just bought it. Thanks for a great video.
@@smiddywesson2703 you’re welcome and let me know what you think about it 💯
Hey can you help me I bought a R500 and cleaned it good and put some silver base in it to try the gun out using Wanda brand paint and when I pulled the trigger to spray a fender it was pulsing it would spray then hesitate then spray real fast again it would be like pulsing can anybody tell me what that is?
Something is constricting the flow
Got One, Just did my 80 Vette hood Base Clear. Best 60 Dollars I ever spent in my life. Little overspray for Garage, all paint went on part. I will only use this gun for base clear. My other gun cost 3 times this price and now it's just a lonely primer gun! Great Video dude!

Another awesome video. I just bought a R500 and this was great info prior to me using my new gun
Thanks Nathan I appreciate you and I’m glad the video was helpful 💯
Great video UPK, AEROPRO should recognize you as salesman of the month🤑. Looking forward to the next video.
Lol I really need to look into working with some of these companies, I think I might be missing out 🤔😂 appreciate you checking out the video Sean!
Just bought one, based on this video. I plan to buy another two to cover primer and base. I have the disposable cups and adapter already. Can't wait for it to arrive.
Nice! Let me know what you think of them when you get the chance to use them 💯
Thank you! I like you style, just the facts and you back it up with actually doing the work. That gives the regular guy confidence. Thanks man.
You’re welcome Augie and I appreciate you checking out the video!
How is your compressor set are you using any dryer set up and hose length you said in this video 25 foot is that a good length.
I have a video explaining how I setup my compressor which I’ll give you the link to th-cam.com/video/G0CYIwbSmGo/w-d-xo.html
I don’t use any dryer setups just a new filter on my spray gun and I use 25-50ft depending on what I’m doing. I hope that helps and I appreciate you checking out the video!
I just watched this video after ordering this gun today. I was mainly looking to see how to set the gun up, but it turns out you used the same compressor my brother has. I have to repaint the hood on his truck using single stage paint, as he is totally against base/clear after it started falling off from a bad repair job a body shop did on it after a wreck. I painted it last year with Rustoleum spray cans, but it's peeling in one place. I decided to get this gun, and strip the hood, then put good paint on it.
Now I have to go watch your video on setting up the compressor. Thanks for the videos UPK!
Glad to hear the videos are helping out 💯💪🏾

looks really nice the R500[a610 sprays really nice ...im looking at buying the same paint gun i can get it at $125 for the kit . what are your thoughts.....i will be spraying black cherry it has pearl and metel flake ..what tip would i use ..?..
I would use the 1.3 tip to spray it John
The cup adapter makes all this possible. Eliminates the air from the cup. Thus all air is applying paint. Good vid.
Thanks I appreciate you Bear!
SprayIT’s cousin is laying it down!! Great review and if I wasn’t already in love with my two R500’s I’d snatch one of these up too. Hope all is well UPK

Besides the visual, what's the difference between the Sprayit and this A610?
@@tanker242 my guess is nothing is different but I’m not sure as I haven’t used the A610 myself
So you used a sealer instead of primer because you don't need to do any body work...did I get that right?
Yes sir, I used the sealer to give me a smooth foundation to lay my base on!
@@UndergroundPaintKing I appreciate your fulfilling my request to explain the tip size usage. You the man bruh 👍
Hey bro, I’ve been a professional refinisher in the automotive industry since 1987 and did nothing but mega expensive Euro cars for decades. I’m DuPont certified, ICI Autocolor Certified, Spies Hector certified, anyway blah , blah who cares it just a paint job right?
I’ve trained countless helpers into painters in 30 years and really look at what I do as a “Yawn” job, however this industry has take a financial hit and young people need honest equipment that works exceptionally well and every single day.
I applaud you because you give a real time data, also you have the exact bumper spraying technique as I do”must have watched me sometimes “ lol.
I think it sucks that a young person is expected to spend $3,000 on just spray equipment to show up on the first day, it’s paint gun snobbery .
I steer my helpers to the Astro Euro pro HTE and LVLP for their first purchase and have laid down more clear with the HTE gun on “wealthy “ customers cars lol that would make them roll over in their Porsche!
I always held my purple cap LPH to the highest regards for very complex blends but I spent $116 bucks on an Astro just to try it (Orange one -LVLP) , if you ever had solvent packing and modeling issues with really high metallics like “”( Ice blues) and pure extra fine Met silvers, this things rocks on my $550 dollar gun.
Check it out, keep up the nice work.
Thanks I really appreciate you and all the work you’ve done and all the people you’ve helped and I’m simply doing my best to help and show people the different ways to go about the paint industry because we are losing a lot of people wanting to get into it just because of what they believe it’ll cost to get started 🤦🏽♂️ thank you for the info on the different spray guns you like and I’ll check into them 🙏🏽💯
I AGREE UPK ,A GUN,4,NOZZLES, TIPS,AND CAP,FOR A LITTLE OVER A BILL,JUST CAN'T BE BEAT ❤
You can’t beat it Lesli, it’s a great value 💯
@@UndergroundPaintKing yes it is ,the the economy is going, may never be another deal at that price
I cant get the whole kit as cheap where i live, the gun with only one tip is about the same price as you mention. I'm interested in a cheap gun that i can use for primers/fillers for smaller repair jobs. Painting a bumper would be largest job i ever do. At the moment i do fine with spray cans for base and 2k clear coat, but 2k primers/fillers are pretty expensive in spray cans. What tip would you recommend i buy ?
Normally with 2k primers you should be good using a 1.5-1.8 tip Montahue
King, another great video. One question. You are saying small compressor. What is considered as small compressor? For example I have a 20 gallon compressor which produce 4 CFM at 90 PSI. I want to paint an old VW beetle. Can my compressor keep up to paint the whole car or need break in between to catch up?
Thanks again
If your compressor can output the cfm needed to supply the spray gun consistently , then you should be able to spray your VW without having to wait for the compressor to catch up Borna Nel, I hope that helps!
thanks ! I just ordered one since i was less than just the 1.8 tip for my devilbliss. Painting those fender extensions for a 1977 Eldorado. The fiberglass parts are off the car right now.
@@DanTheManIOM nice 💯 I hope it works out well for you ❗️
@@UndergroundPaintKing it will. In automotive class, we have two bootths and Sata guns that are dialed in, that is very nice for a someone like with me with little experience. When you are painting and see defects and say, to yourself, damn, I should have spent more time prepping, then you know it is going to work out. And if not, as my truck painter friend says, sand it all off and start over !!!
@@UndergroundPaintKing UPK, I just used it and a little rough starting out, but once I got the pressures right, really, really happy with it. I shot that slick sand polyester primer in 1.7 tip. two coats on the eldorado fender extensions, looking forward to the color coat ! Thank you !! Happy camper here !
@@DanTheManIOM glad to hear it 💯💪🏾
I finally put mine together and having problems setting my air pressure.It keeps dropping to 0 and goes to 20 it won't adjust to the number i want.Is the regulator on my gun defective or user errror.
It could be your regulator
Is the gun good for painting with polyurethane? Thanks
You’re welcome and Yes it is !

Hello King, Question about redesigned. What are the differences between this and the original R500?
Here is a video I did on that exact topic, hope it helps
th-cam.com/video/LWCHXFZLwP8/w-d-xo.html
Do you think this gun will spray metallic colors as well?
It’ll definitely spray metallic 💯
Thanks fot the video. Im getting one and using it with a 30 pound craftsman compressor. What are the best settings to dial in for basic operation...??
You’re welcome and I’m glad the video was helpful and it’s best to set the spray gun at full fan and full fluid as a general starting point, then depending on the products you’re spraying make adjustments while spraying test panels to get the spray gun dialed in to your liking
@@UndergroundPaintKing what psi should I have the gun regulator adjusted to?
@@louispd6828 again that depends on the products you’re using but I personally like to spray between 26-30 psi. I’m normally 26-28 psi for base coat and 30 psi for clear coat but play around with the psi for the product you’re spraying to find what works best for you
I was spraying clear coat yesterday and I had some clear coat leaking out from the adapter. Same setup as you are running. Any tips?
It may be the adapter itself, you might want to try another one
Hey Bro´...starting with : I think there is no channel, where I learned as much as here - and this means learning from the scratch with important topics like compressor settings, gun settings, PSI setting and more. I am into DIY with all work on engines and stuff like this, but this one got me into spraying. Started with bumpers and stuff and next month full paint job on my beloved daily. I think with the knowledge I got from your vids and with two R500´s and two A610´s I am well prepped. The only thing that is missing to start the job would be a UPK Hoodie...time to order myself one :)
I really appreciate you Alf K🙏🏽 I’m glad the channel has been helpful to you and I hope it continues to help 💯 good luck on your project, I know you’ll kill it with those spray guns💪🏾
Any difference at all in the way it sprays or is the updated version just cosmetic?
I honestly can’t say that it just sprays better than the original version, but it’s a upgrade on the body and getting the 3 tips and the affordable price which makes it worth it, I will do more spraying with it to see if it’s a difference
Should spray the same because the needle sets are the same. Same aircap and nozzle.
I used 4 versions of this gun from Amazon. There hit and miss. Mine came with 2 different air horn sizes. And 1.3 tip sprays strange when spraying metallics. I spray at 25 psi base coat. And I highly advise you throw away the air regulator. Since they don't work properly. The drizzle however d1 gun has a really nice gauge . And for clear coats this gun needs 30+ psi to work properly . It's a usable gun but I'm returning mine to Amazon since it sprays uneven which is common flaw .
Thanks for sharing your experience!
I f----tup and bought a too small of air compressor. Very glad to hear there is a spray gun that will do a pro job with a little compressor. You changed materials, and you changed tips. Do you ever shoot a pattern on paper or wall or something? You made it clear you changed air pressures. How did you arrive at the change. Thanks
I honestly don’t change my pattern much so I don’t do a lot of pattern test but it is good to check your patterns, the most changes that I might make is in my air pressure
Super review thank you!😅
I appreciate you checking out the video Jim🙏🏽💯
Great work is this gun rebadged lt100 ?
I don’t know if it is John, I don’t have a lt100 to compare them
How do you think this will do spraying pearls and intercoats? Im thinking of running a Husky 20/27gal compressor and converting my garage to a 'booth' haha i need to paint my small car (nissan 240sx) and maybe my truck.
I think it’ll do just fine spraying pearl and intercoats, it atomizes materials nicely but I’ll do some testing to confirm it
UPK will it lay down some pearl and flak? Thanks for the video.
Yes sir it will lay down some pearls and flakes
Hello! Thanks! Too many good videos. I have painted a Bumper. And when I set up my AeroPro A608, no Air came out. I have set my Air Compressor so that it holds at least 4 Bar up to the Gun. And then I have an Air manometer that gives the gun 2 Bar of air. And the gun's own air screw is fully open. That's how I had it set up yesterday. And then it went well. But now only clear coat came out, when I tried the Spray Pattern on a cardboard box. I wonder if you can figure out what is wrong. I have cleaned the gun after I finished the painting yesterday. And I have assembled the Gun, after cleaning it in the Right way. Thanks! From an Amateur called Tommy from Sweden
Something is blocking your air between the compressor to the spray gun so I would go through the system you have set up and see what is causing the issue
Looks like a great gun UPK!
When compressor size is not an issue, would this be a better gun when compared to the HF black widow or an entry level Iwata? I ask because I will be spraying a classic VW van using an inflatable booth, and the booth is slow removing the overspray.
The van bolt on panels will be sprayed first then later the roof and then the body. With the R500 gun would I still get good results with the larger panels on the van?
Would the parts dry time be an issue with a smaller fan and possibly spraying at a slower speed?
I will like to be able to follow the paint wet edge without the clouds of paint in the air and it looks to me that one of the benefits of this gun is not having a thick cloud in the air.
Greatly appreciate your advice.
This spray gun would be good on a bigger compressor and will give you less overspray as well, I like the black widow and would go with it also but you would have more overspray with it but if overspray is a issue in the inflatable paint booth, the Aeropro would be a good choice
@@UndergroundPaintKing thank you for the help! 🙏

Hi from Australia @undergroundpaintking. I have grabbed a A610 from amazon and learnt loads from your videos thanks heaps. Im preparing a Vw beetle for paint and was wondering is the gun with the 1.7 tip capable of spraying high build 2k primer or should I get a 2mm tip or another gun all together? Thanks again the channel has helped a lot 👍🏻
Hey Chris, I appreciate you checking out the channel from Australia it really means a lot to me 🙏🏽 unless your primer recommends a 2mm tip you should be good with the 1.7 tip, hope that helps 💯
Will an 8 gallon compresssor with a 4.1 SCFM work with this spray gun to paint an entire car? I mean this spray gun is rated at 3.5-3.9 CFM so may it could work. I don't have a garage to work in so have very little room to store a big compressor.
It’ll work for you but with that small of a tank I’m sure the compressor will be running the whole time so make sure to drain the tank so that you won’t get water in your line while painting
I can only find it with 1.5 tip. with wich one did you spray clear?+
I sprayed with a 1.3 tip
@@UndergroundPaintKing I found a kit with 3 nozzles including 1.3 1.5 1.7 but it's 120 dollar. Do you recommend a different lvlp for this price? Or would you still go for it?
@@DatFunnyPerson I didn’t know the price on them have went up that much but it’s not a bad price, but check into the original r500 and see what the prices are looking like

Bro, i love your videos and really appreciate you taking the time to teach us newbies. I gotta say though, you make this shit look too easy.

@@Josépaba-f2e you’re welcome!
Thank you for the video! The bumper cover looks great. 1 question- Why the adapter to run the cup upside down?
The cup can be ran upside down as well as using the disposable cups which cuts down on cleaning also you can have multiple cups ready to go and all you have to do is detach from one cup and attach to another and keep painting
@@UndergroundPaintKing ah, ok. thank you! That makes sense

UPK, What is redesigned in A610 from R500? Is it just apperance or are they mechaniclaly different? If so how so? Thank you kindly in advance.
As of right now I don’t think it’s a real big difference between the original R500 and the redesigned R500 other than the body, so it’s a few differences but not much but definitely the same great spray gun
Needle sets are the same, just the body is redesigned. I notice the needle seal behind the trigger is a bushing, the older R500 guns are oring. Bushing is kinda rough, the oring is smoother. Weight are about the same.
Thanks for the paint gun recommendation, looks like a decent choice.

Heck when I retire I wouldn't mind coming to your shop and learning from you
Whats the best setting with this gun spraying single stage
The best setting is going to be determined by the material you’re spraying, it’s best to do test panels before spraying your project to see what works best for the materials you’re using
Had one couple weeks now Mine lays down ok same as yours looks ok but drys really peely n seems like thick peel like there not enough air coming through…what’s best set up because I tried a couple different ones and only one I think is best is wide open fan and fluid and 32 psi for clear cost. Just hate flat and polishing and seem to be doing it a lot more now as it seems to always lay down thick even on other settings that copied from other people.
How you set up the spray gun is going to be determined on what product you’re spraying, my psi is usually 26-30 depending on what I’m doing and using
What’s the adapter for and what tip should I use fr headlights?
The adapter is for the disposable cup system and I use a 1.3 tip for headlights
Looks like they're back in stock... I'm bout to do several paint jobs & I'm bout to order one of these... just put it on my Amazon list waiting on payday... what you were saying about spraying different materials, make me want at least 3 different sprayers, one specifically for primer/sealer, one specifically for white, because there's always a speck of color you missed that's going straight into a white paint job, & one for everything else... maybe even one just for clear too, so there's never any color contamination in the clear... I've already got the one I'm gonna use for primer/sealer...need some for color & clear now...🖖🏿😎👍🏿
That’s definitely a good way to go 💯
I have a habit of over buying tools, but I've never regretted having multiple options for tools... definitely an investment... I have the exact same air compressor... which I'm very happy with... I'm just now getting an air system I can plug it into & use a drier/filter straight off the tank that then runs to a filter/regulator that I can run my sprayers with to have clean, dry air for painting... I got a few of my own vehicles to paint, & I'm gonna restore a tractor for a friend of mine for practice on body & paint work too before I spray my 1969 C10... I don't want the C10 to be the first vehicle I paint, so I gotta practice...Lol! You seem to get good results, so I'll keep watching how you spray, so maybe mine will turn out that smooth too...🖖🏿😎👍🏿

Hi UPK,
I have 2 questions,
If i have a small nick on a plastic bumper cover that's been repaired, do I have to use adhesion promoter?
2nd questions is, do I have to use a flex.agent in the paint?
Thanks!
What it do Joseph, 1st you don’t have to use a adhesion promoter for a bumper cover that’s been painted already,if the existing paint is good and you just have a small repair you should be good to fix the damage and paint it. 2nd I personally don’t use a flex agent in my paint and have no issues so it could be good to use but not necessary but depends on you if you want to use or not. I hope that helps and I appreciate you checking out the video!

With a 5 hp 20 gallon tank how long will it take me to put one coat of base with a lvlp gun ,on my 68 camaro how long did it take you to paint one base coat on that SUV you painted compared to a 60 gallon tank and a hvlp gun is it about like using a rattle can or what ? Thank you for your advice
I honestly don’t know how long it took me or how long it will take you to paint your Camaro, I don’t keep up with the time it takes me to paint a vehicle and focus more on applying the paint but I would think it would take 20 minutes to apply the entire first coat, maybe more maybe less
Oh cool that's way faster then a rattle can

@@fenderbandi you’re welcome!
I use a regular closed in wrench for the first initial breakdown! I’m sure they put locktite on the tips.
Ok, I bought both the r500(aliexp.) & the 610(amazon),did they add numbers on the controls or is it blank ?
All of my R500 spray guns have numbers and my A610 doesn’t Joe
@@UndergroundPaintKing Looks like Ill use the engraver so I can count the turns better,thanx
@@joehiatt1992 that’s a good idea, and you’re welcome!

Thanks for the info I ordered and it worked out perfectly your videos have given me the confidence to be able to do some painting I’ve done my old Harley with a rattle can
@@williamdennis9576 glad I could help with the videos 🙏🏽💯
Mas respect brother laid down like glass. Ur a beast ima have order me one
Thanks Chavez I really appreciate you and you’ll definitely enjoy spraying with this spray gun!
Looks great, Boss. It's still too cold to be doing any painting (half way between Milwaukee and Chicago) , so I can wait for them to restock. When we get the new R500/A610, will it be coming with that autographed picture of the UPK? Thanks for a great demo.
I’ll be glad when the weather breaks for you Joe and it would be cool to have my pic on the box🤘🏾Appreciate you checking out the video!
Gorgeous job.
Hello UPK, Man that came out nice for a garage setting! I have a couple of questions. Are the R500 tips interchangeable with the A610? meaning will the 1.3, 1.7 etc of the new A610 fit in your other 3 R500? My 2nd question. When you paint a body panel off the car like the bumper cover you just did how much time must you allow to pass before you can flip it over and paint the other side and not damage the fresh paint you just laid down? I know you won't paint that inside of that bumper cover but let's say a steel hood? If you want the exterior color to be on the underside? Thanks!!
I honestly believe the tips will interchange and work between the original R500 and the redesigned R500/A610. I would give the paint 2-3 days to cure before I flipped the panel over to paint the other side. If possible you could come up with a way to hang the hood and paint both sides at the same time also
@@UndergroundPaintKing Awesome!!
I try to go through questions/comments before I ask you. I noticed someone asked you about the tips..Sorry!
@@Danno74Z it’s all good, I’m just glad I could help!
