3M Performance HVLP Gun Review

I got through full breakdown of the new 3M performance hvlp gravity feed spray gun. We spray pigmented and clear back to back and review its capabilities.

These are great guns mate. I liked your review. Keep up the good work.

Thanks 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

Great to see a review that’s not auto spraying with the Accuspray. I think I’ll pull the trigger on one soon.

[@thebeardedfinisher]

You won’t be disappointed. There great guns.

[@luisdelamora]

Thank you, your review is the most ilustrative I had seen in youtube about this item.

With 2k white poly do you have to reduce it Also what tip size you recommend for 2k white poly?

[@dannybouchard5520]

I am going to have a good hard look at this gun set up. 3M hasn't made many duds in all the stuff that they make. Thanks for the advice. P.s are you keeping that gun set up in your shop?

[@luisdelamora]

is water based polyuretane?, would the gun works with oil based polyuretane too?

[@thebeardedfinisher]

It will work on everything. You can get nozzles from 1.3 all the way to 2.0 with same needle assembly. Simply change nozzle when switching from solvent to water. Works perfectly. I do it all the time.

Would love to know what you use to weigh your material. Thanks.

[@thebeardedfinisher]

I’m a huge fan of Sartorius gram scale.

[@mikemyers7317]

@@thebeardedfinisher Thanks!

Do you need to use a new tip every time the gun is used or can they be used a few times

[@thebeardedfinisher]

The manufacturer says I believe it’s about 20 hours per tip so yes you can reuse them. I have talk to people who are getting 40 hours plus per tip. A lot of it depends on what you are spraying and how well you clean it out after you’re finished

[@taproom113]

@@thebeardedfinisher Exactly. With care, users are getting much more life out of the tips than 3M says. Nice to find a manufacturer that is conservative in their performance descriptions. Love this gun. (Home DIY guy just learning). ^v^

[@raudelbencomo5372]

What kind of reduser and hardened you're using?

[@thebeardedfinisher]

This is Sirca 2K Polyurethane. They have their own hardner and we are using their medium fast reducer.

[@ericmcniff1]

What pressure are you running at the gun?

[@thebeardedfinisher]

Typically we run anywhere from 30 to 38 psi at the gun depending on the material.

[@T3glider]

Is that a NIOSH approved hat?

[@thebeardedfinisher]

I thought all camo was niosh approved. 😜😜

حرف نداره👍👍

[@SOLDOZER]

The Gunman also exposed the shady stuff these "reviewer" are asked to do by 3M. 1) Speak highly of the gun 2) Get paid.

[@thebeardedfinisher]

Hahaha. Thanks for the comment. Clearly I’m not anywhere near big enough to get paid. All guns have flaws. Nothing is perfect but for the money this is a great product.
