I've been using the 3m accuspray at my job since 2015 when we changed to water Bourne paint and love them. Now I upgraded to the 2.0 are better to insert the nozzles. I do all paints and clear coats, no problems. I changed from SATA to 3M
@GarageNoise I noticed the same issues you did with my gun. I had gotten this gun free and at work we have PPS 2.0 cups, so it was a no brainer for me to try and do my over all with this system. I had a couple of user errors at first, for example I got a 2k "hi build" primer that the TDS calls out for a 1.3.... No idea why but I used that and it does work. First issue was it warmed up in Florida and I had regular (medium speed) activator and my reducer was also medium. I def need slow or x slow with the temp change. I found the primer woukd literally kick in the gun when I triggered off!! it was crazy but now I will be at least reducing the 4:1 to 4:1:1 for the primer with slow reducer. Now, that being said, I noticed that same problem with the fan... Even on basecoat (which is probably the bestthing it sprays IMHO), the fan would be awesome, like Iwata LPH400 awesome, and then it would get small (just like your video) for no reason. Im wondering if thats the tip going bad (Ive used the 1.3 about 4-6 times). I clean the gun very well and the tips too so I dunno. Lastly, I found it very difficult to spray clear. I had to hold the gun really close to the panel even with full fluid and fan. I might try your 2.5 turns next time. I do spray clear with 1.2, as the clear I have is quite "thin" and likes to run. Lastly, I think my pressure is too high as I've been spraying about 24-29 PSI trigger pulled. 3M sheet actually lists different values for each tip (cant recall at the top of my head). What pressures would you recomend for primer, b/c (1:1), and value clear (4:1 w/1.2)? Any other suggestions? thanks
Ended up ordering the Accuspray from Ebay. They sent the 2.0 updated version instead of the original I ordered. Bonus, I guess. My intent was for primers, which I'm doing, but also found another good use.... Small smart repairs, blow-in repairs, where the entire panel is not painted. Used about 12 psi, small round pattern, cranked the fluid down, used it like an airbrush(kinda). 1.3 tip. I would never paint a full car with it, but I appreciate the super-easy cleaning, light weight. It will get used often for specific tasks. Full paint I stick with my Iwattas and an ANI Gun I like.
Got mine for 189 ebay. Those days are gone. See them for 300 plus now. Got some new tips and going to get back into using this for all the primer/touch up/small panel work. I can use cheap harbor freight pps cups. The cleanup is just too easy to ignore and saves me time. It does a nice job on small repairs. At 13 cfm maybe not for the small compressor guys. I would not have got the system at 300$$$. The price I paid made it affordable. If I someday paint a car that I don't care much about, I may see if a full paint job is practical with the 1.3 for base. 1.2 for clear. I am quite curious about the results of such sn attempt. Not finding much for paint videos on the subject. 3m Performance is a superior gun I will not buy because of the high cost of 3 m pps 2.0 cups. And no alternate manufacturers of matching cups. 1.0 system has many options. Last comment is I feel the amount of control is very good for a full size paint gun. At 20 psi you can really dial this down to do precise paint repairs. Last of my rambling on the Accuspray until I make a video working with it. Will be this month priming a 65 Corvair.
It's pretty good versatile gun, I don't use it enough. purchased the performance gun shortly after buying this. I did however get some good results painting with it. Appreciate the comment and support!
Used the 3M 2.0 for the first time today to spray some epxy primer. Worked okay due to my lack of ecperience. I did have a problem getting the gun to us all the pint in the cup. It didn't seem to want to "crush" the liner as I had seen in all the videos. I was at 20-23 psi,. Sprayed well enough, but, just couldn't figure ahy I could not use up all the paint in the liner.
The simplicity is great. Cleaning, ect. I see the original w 1.0 version cups(which is what I have already) can be found less than 200 dollars. I'm wondering if at that price it would make a good primer,sealer,polyester primer gun? I keep buying and tossing cheap primer guns anyway. Hate cleaning primers😬
I've used over 100 liners in mine over the past 3~4 years through mine and I actually reuse most of my cups several times. I really like it even though the needle has worn a groove in it😅. I just broke the housing where it holds the tip on 😢. I'm looking for another but not sure I want to pay 300. Definitely got my $200 worth from it. Mine was the 1st gen.
I really can't say for sure. Soon after this video I purchased the 3m performance gun and haven't used this much. 3m makes good products so I doubt you'd have a durability issue.
When you was pouring the clear, the tip or the funnel or extension on the metal can, did you add that? I've seen it now in a few videos. I keep making messes, cause the clear i can get around here doesn't have that....
@@bradleynelson5915 yes, sorry I no longer have a supplier to shop this. You should talt to you local paint supplier you can probably source it through them.
@@carlofiguracion849 If you like this style of spray gun with the intchangeable tips. I would recommend the updated version of this gun. Its called 3m performance gun . Its a bit more expensive like 350.00 for the kit of tips and cups. If your a beginner I would say start with the astro pneumatic evot13. A $100 gun that performs great!

Some areas i may have been close but pretty much sprayed like I normally do. I was using a 1.4 tip so that was part of it. I just picked up the 3m performance gun and it's legit! Look out for the review and demo coming soon.

The only thing i can think of is it may not have been sealed.

I have that gun as well, it works great for primer. it's a totally different gun than the 3m performance tho.
@@GarageNoise Just watched the Gunman use the performance version, much nicer fan.👍
Water with a drop of dish soap for wiping
Thank you for the video good review
sir can i ask where can i buy that product? which online shop selling that 3m spray gun set
They've wen up in price here's a link
amzn.to/3Zj1Tuw
Is it for constant work or is work worse after several paint jobs?
You can use this consistently, the tips will eventually need to be replaced but their cheep and last months if properly kept clean.
I've used over 100 liners in mine over the past 3~4 years through mine and I actually reuse most of my cups several times. I really like it even though the needle has worn a groove in it😅.

Which do you like
Old 3m gun or new model I've watched
Both of your videos ?
The new performance is much better. Worth the extra money.
Turn up pressure more even if it is over the 3-m red line. The worst that could happen is the gun blows up ))
I bought the 3m performance gun much better performance.
I know this is an old video? how do these guns hold up over time?
I really can't say for sure. Soon after this video I purchased the 3m performance gun and haven't used this much. 3m makes good products so I doubt you'd have a durability issue.
I have had it for about a year and only used it a handful of times, the first gen tips are getting hard to find

No that is part of the can
@@GarageNoise , I can't find the link for your jobber that sells the clear. I wouldn't mind checking out that clear for budget jobs.
@@bradleynelson5915 what clear? Is it the roberlo R1?
@@bradleynelson5915 yes, sorry I no longer have a supplier to shop this. You should talt to you local paint supplier you can probably source it through them.
Plastic is a lot cheaper to make easy to break .
So why is it more expensive ?
you cant re use the tank?
The liner and lid are disposable.
@@GarageNoise is it worthy if i buy a 3m spray gun for a beginner like me?

@@GarageNoise appreciate you bro
is it just me or is it not atomizing properly cause your gun is to close to the hood
Some areas i may have been close but pretty much sprayed like I normally do. I was using a 1.4 tip so that was part of it. I just picked up the 3m performance gun and it's legit! Look out for the review and demo coming soon.
