Thanks for your learning videos Brian. I have been an auto body tech for 30 years. Still watch you and others who are some of the best to still learn. Thank you sir!

[@jackbuildsit]

Quality spray gun for sure I own one and I’m very pleased with the results I’ve seen

[@ashweeee471]

Alike to all the others that have been watching your videos.. I finally gave in and bought a spray gun and gave it a go spraying my mx5 (miata to you) eunos and thanks to watching quite literally hours of your videos it turned out really good, there is dust in the paint etc but it just can't be avoided in my barn.. No matter how many sheets I put down! Thankyou so much for your videos though, really interesting to watch. 👍😁

[@notme8121]

So true, the learning doesn't stop when the video ends. Actually learning really really starts when the video ends. This is all new to me and it's a lot harder than you make it look thanks for your help.

[@ambrosepearce413]

Great review, Astro is slowly gaining a reputation as a great budget tool company.

I've been painting heavy equipment for over 12 years and looking to start with cars. These videos are such a help and pretty confident that I can do it

[@David-yo8qs]

You should start a channel on painting heavy equipment. I've painted vehicles for over a decade. Now that my dad's going to be selling his fleet, I can't find good info on industry standards of painting heavy machinery (prep, paint used, etc.)

[@PHARRAWAY]

Nice gun brother looks good

[@PaintSociety]

Thanks brotha !

[@johnneill2157]

You really know your stuff!! I overthink every time I paint and every time I screw it up. Thanks for the education!!

[@davidp2888]

Last week I watched a video where a guy was painting a front bumper. His motions were very mechanical, he didn't bend his wrists when we came upon a curved surface and he was going far too slowly. I was yelling at the screen "Dude! You need to watch Brian!!" LOL

[@PaintSociety]

Hahah send him over

[@movaughn20]

Bought this gun a year ago after seeing this video. Finally had a car worth trying a new gun on. I was very impressed with it. Thank you.

[@alconyers2003]

Awesome video Brian. I really appreciate how you were a little more informative on the steps of the painting process. You are definitely a great teacher. Between you, the gunman, and Sprayway customs, anyone can learn to paint. Thanks bro

[@671rbmags7]

You’re my idol man🙌🏻.. I’ve gotten a lot better with my jobs thanks to you.

[@Ryan_H22]

My hood needs painted. Man I wish you had or worked at a shop around me. In my experience it's really REALLY hard to find anyone that actually knows and cares about painting!

[@ChristianGutierrez]

Thanks for explaining things slowly and fully, you are teaching me how to paint my minivan one day!

[@bryanclayton7008]

Brian, just wanted to mention the typeface and instructions you use throughout your videos.They are very easy to read...consice and help tremendously. Don't stop adding the verbal instructions to the media, it's a good idea!

[@ceoliljalen175]

Love your videos dude you taught me to spray and don’t even know it

[@muhameddruskic7673]

Top job. Every gun in your hands is top notch. Greetings from BiH (Bosnia and Herzegovina). Thank you for the sincere transfer of knowledge

[@Keepin-it-wheel101]

thank you for letting everyone know the correct or base settings. I need to get me this hvlp gun. again thank you

[@chidexkofi8789]

Nice job my man....nice tips too that gun makes huge amount of sense

[@troyfall6573]

Great video. That gun still sells for $90 online as of 1/11/23. The adapter is $26 and the regulator is $30.

[@GuitarMan0631]

Thank you for commenting on the air pressure being lower than HVLP. I bought of these and went to set air pressure and it maxed out at 20psi. Ended up clearing the fender at 12psi for a very beautiful finish that matched factory peel perfectly.

[@amundsen575]

blending is a skill, not mastered overnight, you make it seem easy, all I can say is WOW , we need pros to go to you like you. I have a big yukon xl, red metallic with a big scratch in the door and it will be easy to fix the panel but painting, blending, and matching color will be Easy to screw up! I appreciate all the detail you show and explain

[@PaintSociety]

Thanks! When blending always go into adjacent panels. The more room the better.

[@MonzaTom]

I just purchased this gun but wont be ready to paint my car until early this summer but will let you know how I like it. I owned a small body shop in the bay area for a few years where I restored old muscle cars so I do have some painting experience. GOOD videos Brian!

[@goglekerson]

Thanks Brian for your Astro spray gun recommendation. That gun works great. I tried several other ones. None of them could hold a candle to the Astro. Keep up the good work.

[@dipster14]

I wish you were working at my job lol you're a good teacher.

[@fredniess2807]

I ordered this gun after watching this video. I figured if I didnt like it, it wouldn't be a big loss. I also figured if another professional likes it, its probably not that bad. Well, I have to say I'm impressed!! I have sprayed everything from epoxy primer to silver metallic base to clear coat and it all spays really well!! The only thing I don't like is the heavy initial trigger pull to get the air flowing. Thank you for your suggestion and your content!!

[@PaintSociety]

Glad you like it !!

[@ignaciolopez4170]

Am subscribed to both of you guys ! I keep learning a lot from you two ! Nice job! My role model right there!

[@BearBudgetTurbine]

The Astro evot13 is another good diy option. A bit less air consumption. Low overspray. Real nice gun for the money. Garage Noise channel did a demo if anyone wants to see it in action.... Ordered one myself after seeing the review.

[@Dead-people-dont-drink-water]

Wow! Lots of new shi.......um stuff n the market. I stopped painting around 1999 when I was so sick as doc said MS n it was supposed to kill me. Guess I've turned the MS around, although it's taken around 20 yrs. I like this paint gun you were testing! Thank you for putting this video together!

[@topkart78]

Guns doesn't matter!! Painter is the key! Your the Best!!!

[@ccchicken8889]

Just got this gun, and it did very well along with some Tamco base/clear. Thanks Brian!!

[@BigGeorge3397]

I was just checking to see how your gun is holding up? Is there a better budget gun than this? I've been reading that those Tamco products are pretty good. Good choice. any pics of the final paint job?

[@ccchicken8889]

@@BigGeorge3397 Only used it one time so far to paint a guitar. I was surprised everything went perfectly smooth. I just went by Brian's recommendations here on how to set it up. The guitar looks great, looks like a factory finish. The Tamco paint seems nice. Sorry no pics it was someone else's guitar. I may paint another guitar this spring or summer but not ready for a car yet.

[@gannicus1026]

Awesome job Brian, always a professional results;), waiting for doing an episode on Turbine HVLP system whether it's an Eastwood Apollo or Fuji Mini Mite 4 or 5 as I'm really considering getting one of these but waiting for your approval lol.

[@bosshawg7427]

Just bought this gun based on your video! Thanks Brian!

[@Bevoke]

Bought this gun and and shot my dads hood for his jeep, came out with fisheye but I learned that i was painting in a colder temp than needed. Still, gun felt nice and gave a slightly more orange peeled oem finish. Just painted some wheels in the right temperature today and came out lovely. I’m confident that I’ll get nice consistent results with this gun

[@moparnut6286]

[@errolthompson6298]

Thanks a lot man for the knowledge you share l learned so much from your teaching even more than what l learned at trade school THANKS.

[@wecanbuildthis9782]

What settings you typically have for these cheaper guns? Also the paint booth with dust control for better results OR a compressor that can keep up with CFMs. Which a lot of DIY guys don't have. Also what's your booth temperature and humidity level. Your educational videos are awesome, keep them coming.

[@LuisHernandez-hb1fk]

You are very talented painter. Awesome job.

[@LuisLopez-dz3iw]

hey man, all your videos have helped me a lot in my journey as a painter. I think you are one of the best and most complete painters that are on KZbin, you always take the time to explain step by step in everything you do, keep doing what your doing, for us who are starting in this career as a painter, your videos help us big time...........I have a question: What’s the best set up for the SATA 5000 for clear coat.????? I just bough this gun but I can’t find the right set up for it... thanks!!!!!

[@daviddahl1759]

Great Paint gun. You have helped with my project greatly keep up the great vids .

[@brywilder7582]

Just used this gun for the first time and I have not painted a car in over 4 years. This gun was by far THE BEST GUN I HAVE EVER OWNED !! WOW it laid out the paint nice and smooth, no runs, no sags, Just flat even coverage !! The paint droplets got a little large as the temps heated up into the high 80's using a medium reducer and activator, but that was my fault for not having a slow set up for a hot day. The gun laid the clear on extremely well and it flattened right out even at these high temps. I am floored, the gun looked cheap when I got it, but it is my go to gun now !! I give the gun 100% of the credit on this one as I know what my capabilities have been in the past !! If your a hobbyist like me on painting, GET THIS GUN !! you will not be disappointed. THANKS BRIAN, if it were not for your videos, I would NOT have purchased this gun. I can't wait for my next paint project and it was the one thing I never looked forward to doing.

[@PilzE.]

Great vid and review, I sub’d. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

[@Work_G]

This is exactly what I am looking

[@asusreviews]

Nice job! Great results. One thing that confused me is I thought with clear when you are clearing the whole panel you want to go from end to end, rather than stopping in the middle of a panel. Wouldn't you get like a double thickness of clear near your center overlap areas?

[@jaredgray7872]

I agree about the pressure on this gun, it likes to spray around 20psi

[@brianowens2943]

Brian great review got one had to buy in on Amazon .com as we don't have them in Ireland I found the same with my gun it just went at 20psi but was more than capable of spraying paint and clear coat and the fan was great thanks for sharing that review got a real good gun out of it

Another awesome video Brian! i have one of the green astro hvlp 1.3 and i liked it so much i bought the 1.7mm for a primer gun! Maybe you could do a comparison video of the HE vs HVLP.... i wasnt sure which one to buy and how they would compare vs one another.

Hi Brian, I'm really interested on getting my gear starting out small, am a bit confused about Low pressure gun and high what kind of compressor can I get for a low pressure gun? like a 26 Gallon? I am willing to start off with the $120 gun you reviewed on here, Thanks!

[@cesarroman9945]

Thanks for you're videos I like you're work.

[@Munky332]

I picked up a Devilbis FLG-5 (apparently can't "get" them in the US, got it imported from some sort of island of weird speaking southern british people) for like 110$. I sprayed water through it. It's amazing how well it atomizes. Also, For those who have really small compressors and want to do a small job, I picked up a few years ago, a Grizzly H7666 I believe was the part number (one with a plastic grip, don't know if they make it any more) only uses about 4 CFM, my 29 gallon (oiled, harbor freight, BELT DRIVE) easily keeps up with that, and does a decent job of keeping up with the FLG5. I'll have to check out this astro if I ever get around to needing it.

[@cantyoufeelthelove]

I'll be curious on your thoughts of the green. Thanks for the video

[@sinistersilverado965]

just bought the same gun, have lots of project cars to paint

[@patrickd4093]

Brian, First I want to thank you for what your doing. I have learned a lot from your videos. I am more of a hobby painter, I paint for my family and friends. I started painting about 12 years ago, and have done a few projects to include full cars and I get the same result most of the time. I purchased two Blue Point Spray Guns from snap-on, one is a 1.3 and the other 1.4. I was just wondering if you have ever used a blue point gun. I always get orange peel, and was wondering if there is anything, other than buying another gun, I can do to reduce the amount of orange peel. Thanks Paul
