I have an Isaac 07 and an 07 HS. I have been able to acquire the two guns. A range of caps, spare tips, nozzlea and aome rebuild gaskets. Its not a quick process by any means. I had been eyeballing these guns since the ISAAC was in production. The gathering process can take great patience. To me, acquisition and quality of the line are quite worthwhile as well.

Hey Kandy, love your channel. About to start spraying ppg water after 10 years of spraying solvent. Trying to pick up as much as I can and I've been learning a lot from your videos. Keep up the amazing content my man, your channel is my new favorite and we appreciate all that you do for us with these videos.

[@kandyman5315]

Appreciate it 👊👊

My shop switched from Sikkens Autobase to PPG envirobase, I miss the reparability but overall the color match is much better. Their program is better then sikkens too

[@wotruannwah5678]

Love the accuspray for sealer, still using Sata guns for base and clear

[@PHARRAWAY]

Nice history on the accuspray / 3m paint guns

Can I spray waterbase PPG with the 3M Accuspray PPS system?

[@kandyman5315]

Yes that's my favorite gun for base 1.3

[@kevinhintz1903]

Sweet video! Very Kool from a historical standpoint! Amazing how far manufacturing has come since I used siphon feed Binks #7 back in the early 70’s ! Transfer efficiency , low to little overspray , and :saving 50% of your paint that ended up on the floor…..

[@satamanschmidt3428]

You missed a couple of key points with respect to Accuspray, Yes, they did make compressor guns like the Isaac but these were afterthoughts. Their main business was producing turbine spray systems and guns. Now their turbines were little different than those Fuji and everybody else makes due to the fact that that they all use the same blower motors. What was unique was the Accuspray 10 turbine gun which was miles superior to all other turbine guns. IT WAS COMPLETELY MADE OF PLASTIC. The 10 gun is what 3M used as a basis to come up with their original and Professional plastic spray guns. These are both based on the original Accuspray 10. What was unique about the 10 was that it had HUGE internal air passages compared to other turbine guns made out of metal (e. g. Apollo) and with turbines this was a critical advantage. It's unfortunate that 3M killed Accuspray’s turbine systems as they truly were the best.

[@kandyman5315]

Yes I'm aware but my experience is with compressor guns .I started with the slit body pressure cup gun .thanks for the insight

[@satamanschmidt3428]

@@kandyman5315 Another reason the 10 gun was made from plastic was the great amount of heat generated by turbine units. The aluminum guns could get hot enough that they were hard to hold. Plastic, being an insulator, had less of a problem with the heat.

[@hansbrix2495]

Interesting comment. Any good suggested sources to learn more about the Accuspray turbine units? I have a 10 yr old Fuji that I used for woodworking. I also have a few Sata 4000s and have used the 5500 for automotive mainly PPG. I also have been using the 3M PPS 1.0 gun. Have you used a turbine for automotive paints?

[@satamanschmidt3428]

@@hansbrix2495 No I have a big air compressor and use Iwata SuperNova's for automotive. I'm not sure Accuspray even makes turbines anymore. For a turbine I'd go with a Fuji multistage unit.

[@hansbrix2495]

@@satamanschmidt3428 I’m wondering if anyone professional uses Turbines for automotive? I guess I could try a panel but I don’t have all the tip sets and would need to have excess paint to mess with. Given your username I thought you might be more of a Sata guy.😮

[@JohnWD40TC02]

Interesting video Kandy Man you would think the newer guns would be better than the old ones with all the advances in manufacturing and design of the latest tech in spray guns, just goes to show that the oldies still have their place🙏👍John UK

[@Kustompaint2026]

Don’t you ever feel hesitant when trying out the older guns versus the newer ones?

Quality k man

[@frankartale1026]

Accuspray 07HS was the best gun. It was faster than the Isaac. 705/.061 base set up. I used it for years. Crazy for metallics and keeping things small. These guns have a big advantage over other guns because they convert the air internally much better. 43psi inlet gives 10 @ the cap. No other gun could do that. No one sprays at 43 psi so imagine how low the pressure was at the cap. Nothing touched Accuspray for efficiency

[@kandyman5315]

Absolutely correct

[@jerryvikla3925]

Great video! You finally answered my question as to why people don't like the snap on head version of the 3M accuspray. I have one of those and I have used it for 3 cars (primer, sealer, base, clear) and I plan to use it for 3-4 cars this year. My question is, how long before I should stop using it at my usage rate? Or should I just unload it now?

[@kandyman5315]

Your good either way 👌

I still have both. the isaac and the accuspray great gun. Wished 3m would of kept them.

I’m always getting solvent pop. I feel like the clear is to thick. Can I wait 20 minutes between coats

[@kandyman5315]

Yes

[@meticulousdetail5140]

@@kandyman5315 thanks ! I don’t like waiting that long because contamination get in clear. Only other option I can think of is thinning the clear out ?

[@jq8792]

​@Meticulous Detail you might have moisture in the lines. Use good filtration and run a water trap right before the inlet at gun. Also, if you're not moving all the overspray out in-between coats or after the final coat, it'll circulate and land on your flashed clear and you'll get pop (issue with garage painters).

[@stevecarello6113]

Hi there Kandy Man. You ever get a chance to use the turbine Accuspray 10 series gun or maybe a conversion 10 series gun? I've got 2 turbine and 1 conversion from back in the day. With the pressurized cups, they can move alot of material - biggest down side was when they first came out, people treated them like regular guns - leaving them in the washer overnight/over the weekend or pushing full pressure at the wall regulator and blowing the spaghetti gaskets out of them.

[@kandyman5315]

Yes years ago great setup
