Buy once cry once! Great advice! I’m still using all the Snap On tools I bought 40+ years ago in tech school, zero regrets. One of the things I hate is having to re- buy a tool I cheaped out on the first time.

Thanks for the video. I bought a Sata 90 back in the early 90's and did my own restoration/painting on my classics until about 2013. I put that hobby on hold due to learning timberframing, and getting a sawmill and preparing to build my new home. Now I'm looking to get back into my cars. I didn't know anything about the new cup/liner system until now. I sprayed a lot of PPG epoxy sealer/primer, urethane filler primers, polyester spray filler, and a lot of Single stage PPG that is no longer available, except for what I still have. I've shot some base clear, but my cars base coats and clearcoats were shot by a friend of mine who shoots collision and many well known national show cars. When you're not used to shooting a thinner viscosity like the base, better to have the experienced hand do it. I've shot thicker products as mentioned. Whenever I switch to a thin product, I have to be really careful not to go too heavy and run.

Yeah if you’re spraying metallic, specifically using a HVLP spraying helps atomize the paint better but they are also typically slower. It might help if you are used to laying it on heavy. I’m glad you know about the liners now. It saves a lot time money and mess.

It seems your advice is geared above the price point most beginners are going to invest . I would suggest two very important things that they need are a good clean air supply and a good cleaning regiment before any body work is performed, before any paint is sprayed and so on. A nice mid range very versatile gun is the Devilbiss Pro lite they can be had for around $500.00 -$600.00 range. Please share a link for the can tops that are around $10.00 I would be interested in them! Another thing I did was make a list of all the steps to do before I pull the trigger. I myself seem to get buck fever when I get ready to spray and always seem to leave some step out. Thanks!

Good advice. This video was just entry level tips and tricks we thought of. Not necessarily everything a beginner needs to know. If you have a local paint supplier they will sell the stirring lids made by dedoes. Other than that there are alternative brands on Amazon/the internet. The Prolite is a good gun I agree. Thanks for watching!

I'm using a rattle can for a base coat on a Honda Accord 2008. Dupli Color and then Eastwood Clear Coat. I noticed that the temperature on the day I'm in my home garage makes a big difference in how the paint flows and looks on the hood and deck. I have a total of two panels and wonder if it's possible to get an almost professional look using that method. Thank you very much, I just found and subscribed to your channel and appreciate it!!

@RefinishMedia 2 ай бұрын

I think you could get close to professional looking results if everything goes well and you spend some time sanding and buffing. Temperature definitely has a big effect.

where do you get the paint shake adapter? I'm not finding it online. Great vid, thanks.

Do you to have a high flow hose or can it work with a regular hose

@RefinishMedia 2 ай бұрын

I believe you need a 3/8” air hose or bigger for high flows.

What’s the differnce between HVLP and HTE (rp). Also….i just bought a sata minijet 4400. Came with two cups. They don’t have liners and filters. Is that a differnt system?

@RefinishMedia 2 ай бұрын

That system that typically comes with sata guns is from their own sata cup system. It’s a disposable cup system no liners. They are just different style of guns. Typically you hvlps atomize metallics better whole rp are faster and layout single stage, clear coat, solid colors and sealers better. Both still meet high transfer efficiency standards.

@@RefinishMedia thanks. So do I need the adapter to use the 3M cups?

@RefinishMedia 2 ай бұрын

Yes you do. 3m has a chart to tell you what adapter is necessary
