It's shocking the kind of job a true pro can do even with rubbish tools. That makes me wanna buy a small compressor and reasonably priced gun to give re-painting my bike a go. Martin, cheers on this video and thank you for sharing as always!
This kind of reminds me of the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car segment from Top Gear when they were doing F1 drivers. Even though it is a cheap low-quality #spraygun, in the hands of a pro you make it look easy to use.
Thank you for this. I'm a hobbyist trying to get beyond cans. Can't yet justify spending on high spec gear, though I believe most budget maker equipment can be vastly enhanced at little or no cost thanks to people like you sharing their knowledge.
I think everything is for people. This cheap spray gun is dedicated for beginner who start play in this game. For you Martin this spray gun is obvious not proper but in your hands is also like a sniper gun. Experience is your big value. Thx for this video I think about my own mini spray gun and this is for my very helpful.
Thanks for featuring my dirt cheap spray gun, Martin! i have all the problems you mentioned plus a secret feature... It leaks at the trigger. But yeah, she does the job!
Hi Martin, I'm a big fan of your work! It is very inspiring, thanks to you I sprayed two of my bikes. Nowhere near your quality, but good enough :-). I couldn't believe what you achieved with 12$ spray gun. Keep up great work and I look forward to seeing new projects.
I bought another brand of same gun you got... a NUMAX. Better exterior finish on it. Glad I saw this vid ETOE as I made the refinements you advised and cleaned the new gun prior to using it. There was grease on the paint side of the needle SO THANKS to you that I caught that beforehand! Used gun to apply Cerakote Matt Clear. Worked fine and more thanks to you for the vid on "setting up."
I watch you all the time...I already know this was recorded 3 months ago...I just wanted to tell you that you've taught me alot about painting bikes...The way you explain to us step by step of whatever it may be is well taught and very understanding...This is Dave from Harlem NY saying"I see you"! P.S...I just became a subscriber...
Another great video Martin! Your videos have given me the confidence to start painting (a 20 year dream of mine). Just ordered an LPH80 and feel much more confident about cleaning it properly now. Would your cleaner be good with water based paints or just primers(epoxy?)/clears? Going to get a second gun for clears as you suggested. Thank you! #spraygun
ich habe mir mal vor 2 Jahren so ein Set bestellt und ausprobiert , bei mir gab es kein Problem , funktioniert wie am ersten Tag . Habe noch eine SATA 5000 Digi und eine Mini Jet .
Your video and quality teaching earned my subscription. I want to start painting got to start somewhere I do have a cheap paint gun I got in an air kit I will see what I can do with that before I look for nicer guns. Good thing I have small simple jobs that'll lead up to bigger ones.
Coole Episode. Uff, ich glaube, wenn schon so viele Stunden in die Vorbereitung von den Teilen gegangen sind, muss man sich unabhängig von seinen Fähigkeiten auch fragen, was einem die eigene Arbeit wert ist, wenn man sich ein Budget für das Arbeitsgerät setzt, oder? Danke, dass Du mal zeigst, was da alles so schief laufen kann, oder bzw. auf was man auch achten sollte.
I've got one of this cheap sprygun and the fan control isn't working... now I know why. Also good to know to put some grease on the inside brass cylinder. Thx to share your knowledge.
Those shape of guns on Amazon they’re not mini but they do have one blue and silver model that’s actually really good. It’s impressive honestly. I wish I knew the exact name or an Amazon link.
Would it be a good idea, at this price , to buy 2 #spraygun avoiding deep cleaning between the steps ? (Soaking) It would also be a source of spare parts if something goes wrong in the middle of a job. Or would it be better to buy one at double the price considering that I would use it once or twice a year.
Great video as always! I think I might go ahead and paint my old bike, your videos are way too inspiring not to try :) Just wondering if I should stick with spray cans or go for a cheap-ish spraygun seeing that I already have a solid compressor at home...
I always watch your videos and think "I can't do that bc he's a pro, with pro tools", now I'm going to buy the cheap spray gun, and try to paint following your techniques! Thank you! #spraygun
Hello, greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷, I had to watch your video again because I bought one of those gun , my question is how many (much ) pounds did you put on the clear coat to spray ? approximately (29 or more of that) or what is the presión you usually use. Thanks for the help, and for the teachings, and seeing your work. I am a beginner.
I got tiger stripes with my new for this project devilbiss startingline spraying metallic, 22psi gave best spray pattern, slightly heavier on bottom, even when I turn air cap 180 degrees. Air tip clean. Held gun what seemed parallel to surface. sides are good- just hood,roof, trunk.Have 3 coats on and looks better but still can tell. So do I scuff and spray at higher psi and increase distance spraying to fix?
#SPRAYGUN Thanks for review. More than 10 years ago I buy for one special project (glider wing coat partial repair with PU white colour) quality spray gun which costs me more than 300,-Euro with aditional stuff like bigger colour can and so. As total newbie I believe that high quality and expensive tools are neccessary because I cant fight with my two left hands and bad equipment together. I know, I was young and stupid but project turns very well with help from my friends. Nearly. Lot of preparation, lot of sanding and polishing but exept some minor defects result is very nice, unfortunately I was not able to reproduce slight orange peel which was originaly on the surface and repaired part is smoother and more shiny, thus it is visible where repair was made... Today I learn, that skill and knowledge and patience is more important than expensive gear. Thanks for video and share of your knowledge Martin.
#SprayGun Hab bisher nur mit Sata als Schreiner lackiert würd gern mal so einen Chinaspritzer probieren. Mit wieviel bar hast du lackiert, hast du mal gemessen ob das auch wirklich eine 0,8er Düse ist?
Excellently presented work with a gun. I am interested, however, in these seals you mention. To be replaced with SATA seal. Where can I buy this? What address, shortcut on the website? I hear from the dialect that you are from Germany. I may be wrong. Is it possible to get these seals from Germany?
I plan on going DIY on my current frame but would like to leave it raw/polished. Can you do a video on this topic?..... Basically, am I able to clear coat over a polished finish?
It's the true artists that make it look so easy... Nice work! For me, I used a 2k can which was broken, so it did not mix and my paint won't harden... Could really use a gun, even a cheap one! #Spraygun
Question: If you paint a steel frame, you use those stickers to protect QR skewer, derailleur hanger etc. So that means, there is no coat on these places. How do you prevent it from rusting/damaging the paint in the future? Plus extra question. Do you clean spray can caps or do you just buy bunch of them and replace them? Thanks!
#SPRAYGUN if only just for a piece of TH-cam history. I do have a question though, I was wanting to spray a tinted clear over a bare steel frame. What, other that cleaning/degreasing, is necessary for better adhesion since there's no base coat?
#SPRAYGUN Even though this gun gave you a headache, would you still recommend it to a beginner instead of spray paint cans. Or is it just not worth the hassle?
Its good joice for begginers. Iam painting bikes on pro level for some time and I use only such cheap guns. They last long if treated well. If they fail theyre easy to replace.
#SPRAYGUN great review . Pretty well sums up what someone upgrading from rattle cans should avoid . A beginner may never get past the failure stage if they start with non functioning equipment. They will constantly blame their lack of skill and lose hope very quickly. Thanks.
I really had hard time with this one whilst spraying Lacquer on my carrom board as final finish. problem was fluid dripping, splattering, heavy bottom pattern and ofcourse massive orange peel. This gun ruined the finish and being a newbie I lost confidence I thought spraying is not my thing and I should quit this hobby.
It might be a cheap spray gun that needed a complete overhaul as soon as it was unboxed, but the frame it sprayed sure did look sexy! (I did watch to the end but I don’t want it #nothankyouspraygun)
i made pizza for over 10 years back in the day every friday people would line up all the way around the block just to get one ham and pineapple was the favorite love all your work i want to put a murder hornet on my big wheel bike
#SPRAYGUN. Love your show. So glad I found your channel. You are beyond another level. I like to play with all my bikes to. But I can only wish I could be as good as you. Thanks for showing us how its done. Love everything about it.
Love the video!!! But you can try the sagola.brand or truper brand there are not the cheapest ones but they are the king of the cheapest ones jajajajaj probably 20 $ and much better cuality oviusly nothing compar with the hi cuality profecional
Any reviews of the home grade compressor? Or at least what to look for when buying one. My budget is low and I will not paint more then 1 or 2 bikes a year.
Yes. Buy 3 kilo of cabbage, a plastic hose and if you have problems with wet poop a cloth as a filter. Perfect low budget solution. And if you want to save some bucks use home grown cabbage like I do.
I have 3 (yes, THREE) H2000 series from 3 different brand as my first guns for my first 3 month as a painter. They work not so bad for its price, but will i buy them again? I don't think so.
Great video, as always! Just to spray 2 or 3 times a year, spraying with cans would be better in my opinion. I prefer waiting and investigating in good tools, that working with bad ones that I won't keep because of bad quality. I prefer cans to cheap spray gun. Would it be possible for you to make a video about "good" spraying tools? By good I mean good enough for enthusiasts. There might be a sweet point between 12 and 350€ 🙂
13:53 what if that big black fly gets in your paintjob...that's even a bigger ploblem than a 12 dollar spraygun!!! 😚
Her name is Chuck Norris. She lives more than two weeks now and drives me insane.
@@ETOE hahahahahaha
@@ETOE 😂
It's shocking the kind of job a true pro can do even with rubbish tools. That makes me wanna buy a small compressor and reasonably priced gun to give re-painting my bike a go. Martin, cheers on this video and thank you for sharing as always!
#SPRAYGUN Just goes to show that it is more about the skill of the artist than the brush. As always, you are amazing
Martin painting with a $12 sprayer is like Eddie Van Halen playing a $50 knockoff...
Eddie would have still sounded like Eddie.
This kind of reminds me of the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car segment from Top Gear when they were doing F1 drivers. Even though it is a cheap low-quality #spraygun, in the hands of a pro you make it look easy to use.
PROEFESSIONAL QUALITY...

This thing spray well especially for a throw away price. It's also easy to clean
Thanks for featuring my dirt cheap spray gun, Martin! i have all the problems you mentioned plus a secret feature... It leaks at the trigger. But yeah, she does the job!
Great breakdown! No wonder my paint jobs don’t turn out like yours 😀
Hi Martin, I'm a big fan of your work! It is very inspiring, thanks to you I sprayed two of my bikes. Nowhere near your quality, but good enough :-). I couldn't believe what you achieved with 12$ spray gun. Keep up great work and I look forward to seeing new projects.
Great video! FYI, It is not silicone tape, it is teflon tape. The frame looks great!
The result of the paintjob looks good. Wicked color. Thank you for your advices for painting with the spraygun.
I bought another brand of same gun you got... a NUMAX. Better exterior finish on it. Glad I saw this vid ETOE as I made the refinements you advised and cleaned the new gun prior to using it.

P.S...I just became a subscriber...
If I were a painter I'd make life easier for myself buying quality guns, one for every stage like you said.
Good stuff brother! Finally, I found a channel that does the job professionally! SUBSCRIBED!!! You deserve more followers bro... Keep it up!
Good review, shows how to do minor repairs. Unfortunately I am left handed just like you and will keep eye on fan control know.
Just found your channel. Excellent. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Respect also to talk so and inform so well in not your native language.
The Grayco-Sharpe you mentioned is a really good gun.
Learn so much from Martin's videos.
Another great video Martin! Your videos have given me the confidence to start painting (a 20 year dream of mine). Just ordered an LPH80 and feel much more confident about cleaning it properly now. Would your cleaner be good with water based paints or just primers(epoxy?)/clears? Going to get a second gun for clears as you suggested. Thank you! #spraygun
Only you could get amazing results using a $12 spray gun Martin.
This was a really great video, learned a hell of a lot as always. Thank you for making these kinda vids #spraygun
Mate, you are a legend, love your videos, you give me so much confidence in trying something which I would not normally consider.
ich habe mir mal vor 2 Jahren so ein Set bestellt und ausprobiert , bei mir gab es kein Problem , funktioniert wie am ersten Tag . Habe noch eine SATA 5000 Digi und eine Mini Jet .
#spraygun. A great service to us all that you share your knowledge. Have learned alot and look foward to start painting soon. 😎👍
I am also a left-hander and I always run into problems with electrical devices and tools that are made for right-handers.
Wow! Talk about quick delivery 0:41 Also, not gonna lie flipping the gun with paint inside, would've been a funny sight mwahaha #SprayGun
Your video and quality teaching earned my subscription. I want to start painting got to start somewhere I do have a cheap paint gun I got in an air kit I will see what I can do with that before I look for nicer guns. Good thing I have small simple jobs that'll lead up to bigger ones.
Coole Episode. Uff, ich glaube, wenn schon so viele Stunden in die Vorbereitung von den Teilen gegangen sind, muss man sich unabhängig von seinen Fähigkeiten auch fragen, was einem die eigene Arbeit wert ist, wenn man sich ein Budget für das Arbeitsgerät setzt, oder? Danke, dass Du mal zeigst, was da alles so schief laufen kann, oder bzw. auf was man auch achten sollte.
You disassembled that #SPRAYGUN in like 10 seconds! It shows that it's not so much the tools, but the experience and know-how.
Awesome video!
Your paintwork still looks awesome even with the cheap spraygun
That #spraygun in your hands gives a professional result. As we say in Spain, “it’s not the arrow, it’s the indian”.
I've got one of this cheap sprygun and the fan control isn't working... now I know why. Also good to know to put some grease on the inside brass cylinder. Thx to share your knowledge.
Those shape of guns on Amazon they’re not mini but they do have one blue and silver model that’s actually really good. It’s impressive honestly. I wish I knew the exact name or an Amazon link.
#SPRAYGUN Not only the artist behind the spray gun but a knowledge of how it works & basic maintenance. Excellent paint job.
an excellent and extremely informative presentation
Der Günther von steel budies würde mir dem ding locker den ein oder anderen LKW lackieren, haha
Your Glue is GREEN & your Beer is GREEN lol. Great Video!
Hey! Great videos! How about painting small detailed stuff? Maybe like customizing cycling sunglasses. Could that be next?
Very useful video for someone looking to set up a spray booth, thanks for sharing 👍🏼
Would it be a good idea, at this price , to buy 2 #spraygun avoiding deep cleaning between the steps ? (Soaking)
It would also be a source of spare parts if something goes wrong in the middle of a job.
Or would it be better to buy one at double the price considering that I would use it once or twice a year.
8/10. Great video but I gotta withdraw 2 points for not flipping the gun with paint inside 😉 keep it up man! #spraygun
Great video as always! I think I might go ahead and paint my old bike, your videos are way too inspiring not to try :) Just wondering if I should stick with spray cans or go for a cheap-ish spraygun seeing that I already have a solid compressor at home...
Amazing job, operator skill can make a huge difference. Well done 👍
Martin, have you done a video on what Compressor a DIY bike spray project we would need , your advice would be very helpful cheers Ivor
I always watch your videos and think "I can't do that bc he's a pro, with pro tools", now I'm going to buy the cheap spray gun, and try to paint following your techniques! Thank you! #spraygun
Teflon tape maybe?

Myth busted! $12 spray gun produces pro quality paintjob. It's not about a spraygun price, it's all about skill! 😊
#SPRAYGUN Love the video! Can you do one like this on compressors as well?
#SPRAYGUN Thanks for review. More than 10 years ago I buy for one special project (glider wing coat partial repair with PU white colour) quality spray gun which costs me more than 300,-Euro with aditional stuff like bigger colour can and so.

Excellently presented work with a gun. I am interested, however, in these seals you mention. To be replaced with SATA seal. Where can I buy this? What address, shortcut on the website? I hear from the dialect that you are from Germany. I may be wrong. Is it possible to get these seals from Germany?
I am spraying Hammerite, thinned with White Spirit. Is White Spirit still the best gun cleaner for this job?
I plan on going DIY on my current frame but would like to leave it raw/polished. Can you do a video on this topic?..... Basically, am I able to clear coat over a polished finish?

Nice to know what problems one can encounter with a cheap #spraygun and how to fix them.
well, a great worker does the job with any tool, and you did it

How do you prevent it from rusting/damaging the paint in the future? Plus extra question. Do you clean spray can caps or do you just buy bunch of them and replace them? Thanks!
I'm also wondering about cans caps cleaning!
Great Video! And show us how to clean the spray gun! Top finish
#SPRAYGUN if only just for a piece of TH-cam history. I do have a question though, I was wanting to spray a tinted clear over a bare steel frame. What, other that cleaning/degreasing, is necessary for better adhesion since there's no base coat?
I love how your latest videos give a lot of detailed advices I'm taking note of it all :))) Big thank you for the gear #SPRAYGUN
#SPRAYGUN I'm Irish, left-handed, losing my hair and in my 40s. This gun might save my life. PS: your most interesting video yet. Many thanks.
Thanks man, lots of good information
Great video, very thorough, very upbeat, killer accent, California politics awaits you. 😊
How about the battery powered ones, any good?
hello. I have a question. What mini gun do u use for spraying clear.
#SPRAYGUN Even though this gun gave you a headache, would you still recommend it to a beginner instead of spray paint cans. Or is it just not worth the hassle?
Its good joice for begginers. Iam painting bikes on pro level for some time and I use only such cheap guns. They last long if treated well. If they fail theyre easy to replace.
#SPRAYGUN great review . Pretty well sums up what someone upgrading from rattle cans should avoid . A beginner may never get past the failure stage if they start with non functioning equipment. They will constantly blame their lack of skill and lose hope very quickly. Thanks.
It is TEFLON tape that you used for sealing the threads, not silicone.
Its ptfe tape "Polytetrafluoroethylene" if you want to get technical about it
I really had hard time with this one whilst spraying Lacquer on my carrom board as final finish. problem was fluid dripping, splattering, heavy bottom pattern and ofcourse massive orange peel. This gun ruined the finish and being a newbie I lost confidence I thought spraying is not my thing and I should quit this hobby.
#Spraygun Interesting as always. I'm also a leftie! I have a bare carbon bike to paint, I'll send you pictures!
How much thinner should be added to 100g for the gun to work properly
#SPRAYGUN and one question :) did you clean the gun between the black colour and the effekt colour too?
It might be a cheap spray gun that needed a complete overhaul as soon as it was unboxed, but the frame it sprayed sure did look sexy! (I did watch to the end but I don’t want it #nothankyouspraygun)
can you share a link with the correct sata minijet nozzle seal? thanks in advance! Love your videos have learned so much!!!
I have no link and use no satas anymore. Please ask somebody who uses them.
i made pizza for over 10 years back in the day every friday people would line up all the way around the block just to get one ham and pineapple was the favorite love all your work i want to put a murder hornet on my big wheel bike
#SPRAYGUN. Love your show. So glad I found your channel. You are beyond another level. I like to play with all my bikes to. But I can only wish I could be as good as you. Thanks for showing us how its done. Love everything about it.
Late to the Party but another great video Martin!
Thanks.
Hi there, could you please share the part number of the sata minijet seal or least the model of the gun it came from ?
#spraygun "I know that is what you like but that is not what I like." lol This dude is a gem.
Love the video!!! But you can try the sagola.brand or truper brand there are not the cheapest ones but they are the king of the cheapest ones jajajajaj probably 20 $ and much better cuality oviusly nothing compar with the hi cuality profecional
Do you clean your gun in between coats of the same color? Also how long can you leave paint in the gun?
Yes, and depends on the paint and the pot life of the color.
that paint is sick
Any reviews of the home grade compressor? Or at least what to look for when buying one. My budget is low and I will not paint more then 1 or 2 bikes a year.
Yes. Buy 3 kilo of cabbage, a plastic hose and if you have problems with wet poop a cloth as a filter. Perfect low budget solution. And if you want to save some bucks use home grown cabbage like I do.
#SPRAYGUN......I came across your vids and just love them,amazing talent and the finished product is first rate....Happy Holidays.
Can you paint a bicycle with an air spray for scale models?
I have 3 (yes, THREE) H2000 series from 3 different brand as my first guns for my first 3 month as a painter. They work not so bad for its price, but will i buy them again? I don't think so.
bro which one u recommend for small garage compressor with air delivery 60ltz/min
I don't even have a compressor, so I don't need your #spraygun! 😂
Can you do a video trying Hydrographics? I loved you video on dipping
I think the final result came from your skill first , and then paint quality #SprayGun
Fab video as always Martin. Love your work. I've done a couple of rattle can jobs that turned out really well thanks to your advice. #SPRAYGUN
#SPRAYGUN I enjoy your videos, always very instructive. What type of compressor would you recommend for a beginner?
Great video, as always!
Just to spray 2 or 3 times a year, spraying with cans would be better in my opinion. I prefer waiting and investigating in good tools, that working with bad ones that I won't keep because of bad quality.
I prefer cans to cheap spray gun.
Would it be possible for you to make a video about "good" spraying tools?
By good I mean good enough for enthusiasts. There might be a sweet point between 12 and 350€ 🙂
Etoe you forget to compare the size of the nozzle with proper 0.8 professional. Nothing big just curiosity.
I will do a future video and compare the guns. Too much material to put it in one video.
Sir, you can create a masterpiece even with the cheapest one. Hatsoff. Amazing job. Thank you. #SPRAYGUN
