Continue to ramble on Pete you’re fine a lot of us seem to hang on every word you say anyway . We’re listening.

Hi Don, thanks mate, I'll continue to do just that, much appreciated 👍 😀

Princess Auto in Canada sells a small selection of Ani products. It's $240 Canadian for a F160 HPS before tax

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi Mate, Have you tried Sprayguns Direct? , they export outside the UK , and they are equivalent to $170 CAD. You would need to put your tax and shipping on top, but it may be cheaper than from within Canada. www.spraygunsdirect.co.uk/product/ani-f160-silver-hps-gravity-spray-gun/

[@cartradediary6131]

I’m still in love with my r160, I do have the Skull edition and the F160 but still be r160 does a fantastic job with the 1.2 tip on everything, the lacquer at 2.5 bar lays perfectly flat, it’s fantastic!

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi buddy, yeah, they are great little guns, what cap have you got in your F160? , they also fit the Skull as far as I can tell, haven't used it yet but should be fine 👍

[@cartradediary6131]

@@peteshobbies5383 I have it with the 1.3 setup, also very happy with it overall, still can’t get along with the skull yet lol

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi mate, I've found the Skull very good, what caps are you using and what sort of pressure? , seems to be a very wide range of pressures it can be used at

[@ivanivanov-rc2kv]

Nice job, im used ANI R150 3 year, good works

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi Ivan, yes, they are good, and great value for money 👍

[@MaTtOy14]

Hi Pete, thanks as always for the great advice. I have noted the pressures you recommend but was Just wondering what you recommend the fluid volume to be at for the best results when using base and clear? Bought an r160 after watching this and planning on spraying for the first time with it tomorrow on a pair of side skirts.

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi Mate, The R160 is a great little tool . For clear, I use 3.5 bar with the fluid wide open , for base around 2.5 to 2.6 bar , as far as material output it really does depend on what you are doing, what paint and color you are using and the substrate you have. As a guide, start at 2 out form fully closed . You will probably end up around 2 1/2 to 3 out, but see how it goes and what results you are getting. I hope that helps 👍

[@biggysground]

Not a big fan of a fan adjuster on the side but the end results speak for itself... simply wonderful!

[@biggysground]

Looks like a Meiji mated with Sata and had a baby.

[@peteshobbies5383]

Certainly, if I was designing a gun, I wouldn't put the fan control on the side, but having said that, if it's not in the way of the painters thumb, as some are, it's not a problem normally. I rather like your Meiji/Sata child analogie, which certainly made me smile 😃 Cheers mate 👍

[@seanmilhuisen8174]

Hey mate can you interchange needles and air cap I have 1.8. Can I use the 1.4 in it aswll. Cheers

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi Mate, They come as a kit but if you are just going to change the cap you would need to change the needle as well as they are a different taper

[@paulnewton943]

The factory blurb says 7.7 cfm but only for the S and the plus (200fad) at that volume and high psi how is the overspray. You never seem to have any fog. Can you explain the difference between these guns please. Thanks Pete.

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi Paul, the air consumption will be dictated by the cap, I presume we are talking about the F160 here? It will also depend on the pressure the gun is used at, certainly 7.7 cfm seems a little low, with the HPS cap at 29psi, so 2 bar, I would estimate around 9.5 to 10 cfm in air consumption. The reason it can look like I have low overspray all the time is I have an extraction fan to the right of my spraying area. This is obviously removing overspray from the start, so the build-up looks less

[@paulnewton943]

Thanks for the reply I'm in the process of gathering extraction fans now so I can paint a Ute I have, and looking at few guns now to suit my compressor. Any info I can gather from you helps so much in making a decision. Many thanks Pete

Good afternoon. I want to ask, what is the difference between the iwata w400 wbx and w400 wb2 spray guns? Thank you

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi Stepan, it's purely the cap, and colour of the controls, the WBX cap runs at a slightly higher pressure, this video at the start explains it better kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6nYc4mGgZZjask

What spray bottle and panel wipe do you use Pete you do some really cool jobs

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi buddy, thank you, I use the Wurth bottles, them and the Colad ones are the only ones that last, I use a solvent panel wipe. Here's the bottle, www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252738121675?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=mJRIYEO8SGe&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=v5EZyL9iR9-&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

[@сергейбаутин-р6з]

hi pete tell me which gun should I buy sagola mini extrim,welcome carbonio,Sri pro. with cap 1.2 for clear coats. price is not important

[@peteshobbies5383]

If price isn't important I would buy a Devilbiss DV1S, they are a great gun

[@сергейбаутин-р6з]

Unfortunately, I can only buy one of these

[@peteshobbies5383]

I would go with the Sagola if you don't mind the air consumption, if the air is a consideration I would go with the Sri Pro Lite

[@kr2513]

Pete I need your opinion. If money was no object what kind of base gun would you buy? Myself I'm torn between the Walcom hte and the dv1. I do a lot of blending and need all the help I can get

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi mate, I would go with the DV1 base gun, it's one of the best base guns out there, I love the Walcom clear gun, not so blown away by their base gun, people say they are the same apart from marking but they are not, there are slight differences.

[@karllongbottomguitars9192]

Hi Pete, I tried my r160 at 3.5 bar (after your recommendation) with clear the other week and found it much better than the suggested 2.2 bar 👍

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi Karl, The R160 does need a bit of pressure, I know some run them at 4 bar for clear, but as you know, I suggest 3.5 and, as you say. It performs quite well at that pressure, glad you got better results 👍

[@JohnWD40TC02]

Hi Pete hope you are keeping well mate. Another superb finish from our friendly gun collector😁love that colour Pete there is just enough candy on there to give it a nice purple colour and what you have done is pretty close to the finish you get on the TVR's they have some really nice colours on them. It's been a while since I've used my ANI R150 you may remember that I couldn't get on with it that well but after you told me about the pressure needed to get a good finish the gun is totally transformed, your R160 laid the base and candy really nice especially the candy as it put a nice even but thin coat down. I still haven't got the F160 which going by what you have done with it is a great gun to have for just about anything you want to paint, maybe I should stop buying these expensive guns then get a few cheaper ones to play around with🤔 thanks Pete👍 Oh and as others have said don't worry about the rambling mate as everything you say contains really good info, could be worse mate you could have people like me making long rambling comments🙄🤦‍♂🤪🤣

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi John, yes, it was a lovely finish, a small one and a little one for £220, can't be bad. I'm thinking a similar thing, I've got plenty of quality guns and have just ordered a few cheap guns to see how they go, after all, if we can get the same results with a cheap gun then it really does make you wonder why we pay all that money for the better ones. I realise it's not all just about the finish but to a lot of people watching our stuff they won't be painting that often so can't justify the heavy price tag, cheers mate 👍

[@JohnWD40TC02]

Maybe we should start a "Cheap and Cheerful" section for those that don't want to spend a lot on a gun but still want a gun they know can deliver a decent finish, that was my problem when I first started I bought a cheap gun and got terrible results but I didn't know if it was me or the gun that was the cause so I bought another gun which was a bit more money and again had terrible results.... rinse and repeat.... it wasn't until I got my first SRI ProLite that I realised I'm a crap painter🙄😭😂 Maybe have a limit of up to £40 to £50, don't know what's available within that price cap though🤔🤷‍♂

[@scottyoung2995]

Hi Pete hope u are doing well. What are you looking for when you up the pressure or lower the pressure from what the gun manufacture says if you know what i mean?

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi Scott, good question, I'm trying to sort a video out which will explain it, it's just difficult thinking what form that will take. Normally, the higher the pressure the finer the atomisation will be, but, you will find the fan can separate top and bottom so you can overdo it. You can also get a dry application with too much pressure so you need to watch out for that as well, a lower pressure will give you more peel generally which can be needed to try and match existing paint, of course, materials, temperature, speed and distance from the work also play a part as do fan size on the gun

[@scottyoung2995]

@@peteshobbies5383 Thanks Pete very well put i'm always trying to learn as people say things assuming you know what to look for but generally people who watch these videos on youtube (not just yours) don't necessarily know what people mean. and the people that do know probably don't watch them. 🤪

[@peteshobbies5383]

Yeah, It is always difficult as to what depth you go into things, I often think I go into detail too much but often people say they want more. As I say, I am planning on do a few more basic that may help people, the hardest part is thinking how to get what you are trying to convey over in a video, but I'll get there cheers mate 👍

i have f160 hps 1.3mm and use 22 psi. Should it be higher? Finish is good but slightly textured.

Hi buddy, depends on the cap, this one is the HPS cap and I run it at 29psi which is 2 bar in this video which works well, ANI actually recommend higher with that cap but never found it necessary

@Pete's Hobbies cheers, thank you very much! Great job, as always. I don't know if anyone has suggested this, but I would like better video quality as sometimes it is harder to see your beautiful finishes.

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi buddy, the video on my head is 1k 60 frames, and the final shots, inside and out are 4k 60 frames so I imagine it's KZbin keeping the size down for easier storage? , I'm not sure but the original shots are very high quality, it's a Samsung S22 on full resolution. I think I need a better head camera, trouble is they get covered in muck so easy I'm a bit loathed to get a new one, was waiting for the old Gopro to die first 😅, cheers buddy 👍

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi mate, the caps are the same on the black and F160 apart from the material they are made from so there is little difference between them, the build quality on the black is definitely better. I've found the black can give a flatter finish if it's needed but that's with the clear cap, have only tried the HPS cap on the F160, the F160 is a cracking gun for the money
