ANi F160 Silver: Review & Demo

[@amcmsa6]

I have this gun in the 1.4 I use it mainly for spraying metallic base coats. Been using it for almost a year and have had zero issues with it. Would definitely recommend this for the diy guys. Good quality and sprays very well.

[@slink9997]

Bought this exact setup as a starter gun, one gun for all and it’s impressive! Beats anything I could have bought locally, I’ve got it in 1.3mm and 1.7mm and it sprays everything with great coverage and great results, not show quality by any means but I think that’s more so my technique and I need more practice. Going to use it to do a repair on a 2017 ram in blue and see how it fairs up to the job. I love the cheater valve, it’s easy to adjust and is very rigid, I would highly recommend this setup for anyone who wants a DIY all purpose gun, just get the right fluid tips and clean it out good for each stage!

[@MarkoTodorovic-nu5ld]

should I buy with a 1.2 nozzle or with a 1.3 nozzle?

[@shaqhobson5074]

i love the begining of the video showing the fan of the gun...nice

[@justinw523]

I wish ANI would come out with a full size LVLP under 4.5cfm paint gun would be awesome

[@chidexkofi8789]

Just like the way you said ur mind about all this big expensive guns ....nice job dude

[@alankesper4480]

Thanks Gunny! I just ordered one of these from SGD noting your promotion to them. I got the 1.3 & 1.4 fluid tips thanks for all the valuable info and for sharing your expertise and experience its inspiring and saves shitloads of time in correcting mistakes Best regards Alan

[@gazsto9510]

Hi mate, HPS after some research refers to the HPS system can work at various pressures and so it is therefore perfectly adaptable to different types of paint products or pressures. HPS system is a new highly efficient atomisation action developed by A.N.I. of Italy.

[@peteshelby21]

Do you think its similar to LVLP?

[@GOTTRD]

As always you make the videos with honesty and no bullshit behind them! Mahalo for keeping it real! Aloha!

i really appreciate your help,, I bought the ANI R150_Q from Spray Guns Direct,, what a great experience, Gun arrive in Houston TX USA in one day

[@michaelmenard8913]

Mike Bonge I am also in Houston a really like mine 1.4 would like a 1.2 in our heat.

[@joeygonzo]

how much ?

[@aurktman1106]

Just ordered one with the 1.3mm from SprayGuns Direct. You were spot on with the R150, I will give this one a shot too.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Let me know what you think, I really do want to know if you put rate it highly.

[@aurktman1106]

The Gunman I’ve used it on clear, base, single stage, and primer. Love it!! I have to reduce the primer a bit, but I’ve sprayed high build primer without thinning successfully with the F160. I have bought the FLG5 for my clear, but this F160 and R150 will spray my base and single stage stuff. My SLG kit sprays my primer. All of them (except SLG kit) from spraygunsdirect.

[@Imsquidy]

I am brand new to painting and I bought this one in 1.4. I was planning on using it for primer too. Do you think it will be able to handle it or am I going to need to buy a separate gun?

[@aurktman1106]

@@Imsquidy I’ve used mine for primer, base, clear, and single stage paint. Works well for all.

[@Imsquidy]

@@aurktman1106 Sweet, thanks!

[@customguitarkits6836]

I bought the ani 150 mini gun after watching your review, I've got a devilbiss sri hd and an iwata w300, the ani gun is bloody fantastic for nitro lacquer clear coats, i think it sprays better than the devilbiss and that's now doing metallic duties on guitars

[@1esaus]

Im just sitting right now waiting for my water based base coat to dry and having a cup of coffee before i head out to put clear on half of the car. Wish me luck! Ill try 2,5 to 3 bar with the clear and try to get it smooth. I hope it goes well. At first when i tried the gun I had it at 1.8 bar and it went on really horribly. I read the manual after and saw my error with the pressure. Luckily that was only in the doorjam where i repaired some rust.

[@1873Winchester]

I think I might buy the ANI F160 thanks to this review. I have been hard in on the Devilbiss FLG5 but given what you say about it's small fan I think this might be the better choice. I have a compressor setup that can do 500 lpm so no problems running it.

[@gogothecomputerguy1193]

Hi gunman I'm loving your ani spray gun videos. I even bought one on your recommendation and I love it. Is there any chance of you making a review of ANI 200/s black WB 1.3 spray gun? Cheers

[@RaysGarage]

Hey Gunny, Would you recommend the ANI F160 over the DeVilbiss FLG5 (SGK) for a multiple material gun? I would go for the Pro Lite but a little too pricey for a hobby guy here. Thanks!

[@tunichtgut5285]

Hi Gunman, general question: why do you keep the distance to the panel so low? E.g. Sata recomends ~20cm for their RP guns, i.e. a hand span away. You seem to be spraying a lot closer, looks to me like a fist away.

[@mitchellferre1652]

Tunicht Gut I started spraying closer to panel with tighter overlap and finishes have improved. It does seem to force me to move a bit faster but I got used to it and prefer this for the end result. I don't use HVLP guns anymore but they benefit even more from this. Cheers !

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Yep, Mitch is right, I learnt that from when I was using HVLP guns and got used to it, I find you use a little less paint and get nicer finishes.

[@mrmrwilem4789]

Got one today, somehow lost the pps adapter. So it’s the factory pot for me. Having an upper limb disability makes painting a roof or hood tough. Hope this will help. Looks like it’ll do it. Will find out tomorrow.

[@zanaga1901]

Saw this spray gun on eBay today. Wanna get a high end spray gun in future when I practice auto painting again but still have to get that and some used car doors to paint with on Craigslist maybe a free one if I see them in the free section.

[@edwardzx7]

Try to stay away from the fake guns sold, and taking money away from the real ones. Good luck on your new purchase man!

[@andyhop3234]

I have that exact gun and a 200 ltr compressor and just painted my fiesta st150 belive its called xr4 there .. keen diy'er sprays great for what.i needed from the gun as didnt want to spend mega ££s on a gun that i will proberly only use once , for me its a good bit of kit :)

[@dbuckley100]

Just ordered one, need a new WB gun...before I fork out 500eur for a new sata or devilbiss gonna see how this lays it down. For the price it seems a good shout

[@derekemery4614]

How did I work? I just ordered a wb and a clear.

[@dbuckley100]

@@derekemery4614 still using it regularly, as a second wb gun... atomisation isn't quite enough to lay silvers flat but other than that it's worth every penny. Needs a slightly higher psi than other guns 👍

[@s.galaladnan5882]

Hello my friend I painted my car silver and I put a gold pearl on it. After that I found a difference in color between light and dark Can I use 800 paper and return the Re paint pearl only again and then put the Clear coat again . With the knowledge that the paint variability is not from the Base , but from Perle Thank you very much

[@salausegun1012]

S.Galal Adnan yes u can use it or 1200

[@unclesamautos]

I don't like the new Intro. I got Pro Lite a PRI and a ANI 150 from Straygun Direct and always tell them Gunman said so!

[@unclesamautos]

My ANI r150-t broke at the o-ring. I just bought a r160-t hope it's better made.

[@ThePoleLine]

Hey mate i paint helmets and upgrade everytime i do the next customer job. I do lots of flakes etc. Thinking of getting one of these in 1.9 and getting a couple of ani mini guns. I have wrecked two of the 2sray mini guns in 6 moths and im careful with gear.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

I'd say yes on the R150 minis but for for flakes maybe go the FLG5 2.0, similar price but probably better build quality

[@lynntankersley4837]

What's the minimum compressor CFM @30 PSI that the ANI F160 Will paint well? Thanks

[@joewenger1964]

great gun!

[@zanaga1901]

What air compressor do you use with this spray gun I saw it on Ebay. Was thinking before if I get another spray gun to get the Black Widow HTE. The air compressor have at home is probably only 20 or 30 gallons used before but was painting with a very cheap HVLP Harbor Freight 29.99 Central Pneumatic spray gun it was a purple color.

[@brooks.5849]

From Ethiopia 🇪🇹. Great review Gunman!!! I got a Gti Pro Lite based on your review, I love it. Question, What hose diameter are you running? 8 mm or 10mm? Keep up the good work!! Best channel on KZbineee

[@1esaus]

Great video! I just placed an order for the F160 with the 1.3mm tip. Im going to do rust repair on a door and some wheelarch edges. So im going to paint two doors and blend out on the outer panels or just do all the side panels on one side depending on how much rust repair i need to do. Im using ppg water based basecoat and clear coat. Im in Sweden so its fairly cold and humid this time of year. Any useful tips for using this gun with the basecoat and clear coat? Sincerely Esa from Sweden.

[@jurpikag]

Gunman, I am having troubles deciding between Either this ANI or FLG5. I do not have any issues with air supply. Which would you go for first? ;)

[@TheGunmanChannel]

I'd have to say to go for the FLG5, it's just built a bit better and the pot is good.

[@hillsidesavage1413]

Got the Ani 150plus what's a good gun for shooting metal flakes in primers Gunman?

[@Fannyshnifter]

Hey man! How's this gun held up over time? My flg5 has lasted 4 years and counting and its used and abused haha. I'm wanting another primer gun and I'm looking at this gun in 1.9mm fluid tip but just want to see if they last over time? Thanks and hope your keeping well

[@손정민-j3f]

Outstanding

[@rikujkoivisto]

Hi Gunman! As you said, this gun is "HPS" gun. What do you think, how many CFM F160 need to work properly? How many PSI you used? Thank you for the best you tube channel!!

[@carlo127]

nice job, how did you adjust the fluid? what pressure did you use?thank you...bye

[@kennethbradley7314]

Great video as usual! I've been watching your videos for a while now and you have probably answered this question before. What gun would you recommend for a beginner that would spray primer, base and clear or at least 2 guns. Thanks!

[@mitchellferre1652]

Kenneth Bradley You can't go wrong with a Devilbiss FLG 5 or GPI in 1.4 tip as a single gun setup. Multiple tip sizes available. Go with a 1.5 to 1.8 for primer, and keep it well cleaned.

[@jasonevans6720]

Gunny, the hps is high pressure system with this in mind are they legal compliant guns?, i know for the hobby guy this wont matter but for the professionals who have to comply with regulations are they ok for us to use

[@jesuslucio2485]

Back when i started workimg in the paimting industry i womt care mucj about sprayguns and all that now i wamt an arsenal of them to bad i only have a devilbliss gpi and a devibliss primer gun that came in the starting line pack the paint gun was nice when working but gave out like under a year thankfully primwr gun is still going till this day my next purchase will be this mini gun then a gti pro lite to get a better finish in my clear not saying my gpi is bad but i know i can do better with the gpi and a 1.2 tip probably even a 1.3

[@irneskajtezovic2357]

Gunman thanks for your videos.i have guestion i hawe a anni f 160 and like one dedicated for clear coat.Would you recomend flg5 or gpi or pro lite?so my guestion is is the finish from flg5 better in comparison with anni f160?What do you think obout gpi is it good gun or is better to save money and buy gti pro lite? can you get the same results from gpi like from gti?Are the devilbiss cut corner in guality or spray guality in gpi against gti or is more the case beacuse come without additional eguipment spaners and such?is the gpi good upgrade from anni f 160 of flg5?thanks

[@peteshelby21]

Hi gunman, can you explain the difference between ANi HPS vs HVLP? Is the HPS similar to LVLP?

[@TheGunmanChannel]

I don't think so, because HPS requires high pressure, I think that's what the HP stands for. So with my ANi HPS I crank the pressure

[@peteshelby21]

@@TheGunmanChannel Ok so it requires a larger tank compared to the LVLP not needing as much air? Thanks man. Thanks for all you do, learned so much from you the past few years.

[@xrafaello]

Hi I want buy gun that you think Ani f160 plus or devilbiss gpi?

[@DeanHone]

Hey Gunman thanks for the honest review on the Ani F160, I was in touch with Spraygunsdirect UK and he has suggested this unit or the 160Q for my purposes which is totally different to than what you use it for. I have a smaller compressor and want to spray furniture. Dont need a big fancy rig or pay heaps but wanted to know if Spraygunsdirect is still the best option for purchasing one. Would you still recommend it or know who in Aus would sell them. Thanks man, love ya video's been learning heaps.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Hi Dean, one thing I may have forgotten to mention is that these guns require quite a lot of pressure to operate well so in your case I would recommend having a look at the DeVilbiss FLG5 1.4 and yes, I'd still definitely recommend SprayGunsDirect.

[@DeanHone]

@@TheGunmanChannel thanks heaps, will have a look for sure .... this is my Trade tools compressor www.tradetools.com/product-range/air-compressors/single-phase-air-compressors/renegade-industrial-2hp-single-cylinder-13lpm-compressor ..... thanks again for your vids appreciate your help.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

@@DeanHone ok so that's a tiny thing, I would either get a larger compressor or get a mini gun, I have an ANi R160 mini in 1.2 and it's a little beast of a gun and requires less air than any full size gun. But I must say I just checked the conversion and it's enough to power this gun without dips www.spraygunsdirect.co.uk/index.php/a-n-i-r160-q-mini-midi-gravity-spraygun.html#sthash.oZR727b8.dpbs you just cross reference the CFM to LPM after doing the conversion. 3.5 CFM = 100 LPM and your compressor is 130 LPM so it will run fine. I'd get it in 1.2

[@husky1232]

Hello gun man just wanted to know the air pressure on the ani gun should I turn all the the way to the left ? Thanks for the video

[@TheGunmanChannel]

If you're using a gauge at the bottom of the gun you should always have the gun set to full air, which for this gun is all the way to the left. And then set pressure from the gauge.

[@joealvardo3618]

Just tried to order this gun from spray guns direct. They wanted my social security number. I don't know if it's because I'm in the states but there's no way I'm giving that out. If anyone is thinking about buying from them be very careful. I guess I'll try finding one somewhere else.

[@joealvardo3618]

@Frank Austin I've been looking in to it and I dont think it was spray guns direct. I think I have some kind of virus or something.

I just ordered (and delivered and used) 2 weeks ago an ANI R150 from SpraygunsDirect and they never asked for my SSN.
