I am just learning how to use these tools. I also wanted to ask what the minimum air compressor needed is and if a tankless compressor is able to be used. I want to paint small projects which are about 1-2ft cube. Also, what types of paints can be used? What are the smallest compressors that can be used and are tankless compressors able to be used?

Excellent summary. I wondered if this was the case and you answered perfectly. p.s. I have no idea why people are complaining about the volume. It is perfectly adequate as far as I am concerned even with my volume on low. People are strange though.

I have the same gun, after putting down the primer and base and cleaning the gun with acetone in between applications I noticed it dripping from the trigger onto my hand when applying the clear. I had accidently pulled out some little rubber washers from where the needle goes in with my small bristle brush. Do you know where I can buy these to replace them, I may have lost one, as it still drips even after tightening the screw down hard.

I just found your channel because of your paint videos, but I noticed you have a CNC and electronics videos also. What is it that you do, if you don't mind me asking? After I get done with my painting, I'll be checking out the DIY PnP videos. Thanks for posting these, especially the HVLP troubleshooting video.

Great video, thanks! What would cause siphon HVLPs to stop spraying entirely? I have two HF cheapies yhat have crapped out on me despite being cleaned. Air comes out but no paint or solvent will come through. 2. Also noticing on my turbine that the fan pattern seems to be getting more narrow but the cap, tip and needle are CLEAN. ???

@imagineform 18 күн бұрын

The siphon one could be clogged on the air intake causing a vacuum. I would double check the tip on the turbine gun, depending what you are spraying they can wear over time

@studioGEEZ 16 күн бұрын

@imagineform fixed the turbine gun. Seemed to be a clog where the makeup air enters the siphon cup. Sprays well now. On my other hvlp guns that are not spraying anything but air, would air still come out the cap if this was the case (clogged at air intake)? The air hole on the cup is not clogged. The gun has only been used a handful of times, once with auto primer and base, and the rest of the time solvent based acrylic lacquer so I don't think wear is the issue. You're probably right about a clog but i dont know where to look. The parts diagram calls the "air intake" the fitting where my pneumatic hose connects (not talking about my turbine hvlp, just the Harbor Freight cheapies I hook up to a small compressor.) I'm guessing the air intake your talking about is something else. Thx.

Hi, if your spraying water based fence paints does anyone know if you need to thin them down first? And can you use water to thin it?

@imagineform 11 күн бұрын

Water based coatings can be thinned with water or sometimes isopropyl alcohol. Usually no more than 10%

Thank you so much for sharing this video. I started working at a new pastry shop where they actually use spray guns like this to spray chocolate glaze on the cakes, and was making a huge mess on them because no one could teach me how to properly adjust the controls!!! so informative and well explained, and love how you show the difference between the low and max setting on each control. THANK YOU!! ❤

@GetUpFalcon Ай бұрын

3:28 Is there a way of calculating that 45 second run time using maths? Boyle's law states that "as the pressure on a gas increases, the volume of the gas decreases because the gas particles are forced closer together. Conversely, as the pressure on a gas decreases, the gas volume increases because the gas particles can now move farther apart." P1V1 = P2V2 Which means that as you start spraying, and the pressure in the tank starts to drop, you gain volume which helps you sustain the spray. It's a dynamic situation which makes the static equation above challenging to apply.

@Hereford1642 9 күн бұрын

You are misunderstanding Boyle's law. PV is a constant only for a closed system. For example a bicycle pump with your finger over the end to stop air escaping. Then, as you push the pump in the volume of the air in the pump decreases and the pressure increases. If you then release the pump the volume of the air in the pump increases and the pressure decreases. In the case of the air compressor tank feeding a spray gun it is not a closed system. Air is being lost as the spray gun is being used. There is no 'gain in volume' as the pressure in the tank drops. The consequence of this is that if the spray gun is using air at a constant rate then the pressure in the compressor tank will drop in a linear fashion (if we ignore the compressor kicking in to try and replace air when the pressure drops sufficiently).

Thanks for this really informative and compressed video! I've had another really really frustrating problem, where the paint would come out in big blobs instead of a nice mist like expected. I've tried everything - air pressure lower/higher, fan adjustment tighter/bigger, adding thinner etc. but nothing would solve it. In the end, the small holes in the air cap on either side of the nozzle were plugged with old paint. After soaking in thinner and blowing out with 6 bars of compressed air, it works like a charm again. This wasn't mentioned in any of the troubleshooting videos, probably because it's so easy? So I'm leaving this here for others who might have the same problem... TL;DR when the gun doesn't work like it's supposed to, first thing is to really really clean it well including all the small holes.

Hey Tom you nailed my problem with your video. My vent was totally clogged . It looked clean till I push a wire through it and a coil of paint came out. I got great paint flow and the fan increased in size straight away. My spraying although not professional it looks really good and pretty much no orange peel.

Are you not supposed to keep spraying as the compressor kicks on to refill the tank? I have an Iwata LPH-50 HVLP that only uses around 2.2 CFM max and my tank can supply around 4 CFM @ 40 PSI. My Iwata only runs at 13-14 PSI. My gauges still read the same 13-14 PSI (working pressure) when the tank, a 4.4 gallon, kicks on but am I supposed to stop and let it completely refill?

@imagineform 3 ай бұрын

No, you can keep spraying as long as you still have the pressure. If it runs too long it could over heat though.

I’ve tried to spray with my r500 gun and a couple other guns and my primer or paint just comes out too thin almost like colored water then I try to put a heavy coat and it runs like crazy, I’m almost ready to give up

@imagineform 4 ай бұрын

Best to do more light coats than a couple light coats, also increasing the distance between the gun and what you are spraying will give the paint time to “dry “ a bit befor it’s gets on the object.
