BATAVIA HVLP MAXXSPRAY PLUS Spray Gun

[@cherylbarcoski8251]

Thank you for this video, I bought this sprayer and was slightly afraid to use it because I was afraid of the ability to control the spray and how it really works. Your video showed me everything . I have completed what I wanted to spray so thank you !!

[@callmemike6171]

That's great to hear! It is so easy to get intimidated by all of the little details. I wanted to show more steps, like thinning the paint. But in no time, my fingers were covered in paint, and trying to operate the camera was not an option.

Thank you great , easy to follow video, helped me to quickly assemble and use

[@callmemike6171]

Glad you found it helpful!

The only thing I would have done different is turn the nozzle and spray the door stiles in a vertical direction.

[@callmemike6171]

Thanks. There was a lot of room for improvement! However, its been almost 1.5 years, eastern exposure of Florida sun, and one hurricane, and it still looks great. Far more attention would have been on technique if someone held the camera for me. Happy Painting!

Great video. Just got one today and this was so hopeful.. quick question.. how did you get the viscosity correct . Or did I just pour in and paint

[@callmemike6171]

Hi Moses, I used BEHR PREMIUM PLUS for this project and it was like scooping up mud in the viscosity cup. It took 15 seconds for the first drip. I cut it with distilled water until it reached a steady drip, no science involved. Probably around 15% water added. It still provided good coverage, normal dry time, and a nice finish. So, I would recommend dipping the cup regardless of the paint you're spraying, to be certain it is in an acceptable range. Thanks for the comment and question!

Can i run dye through this paint sprayer. Its a lot thinner than paint

[@callmemike6171]

This sprayer has 4 nozzles, 3mm down to 1.5mm and it has variable speed. You should be able to get your desired mist with the small nozzle and adjusting the speed (pressure). I read that hvlp is better with alcohol diluted dye, and water-based dye is easier applied by hand.

Recommend for painting cars??

[@callmemike6171]

That is some territory I don't want to comment on. However, I have run into a couple videos of guys painting vehicles with Rust-Oleum paint and a similar type HVLP sprayer. Thinned properly, it worked! This one certainly has enough power.

[@donkiebals123]

Sure. You can spray both single stage and two stage paint/clearcoat if it is thinned correctly.

nice job. why spend a 1000 dollars on a graco paint gun when this will do just fine

[@callmemike6171]

Thanks. It seemed to work really well. I think if I was a professional painter, I would have a few on hand, and simply open a new box at the first sign of trouble. It would be easy to build into the quote.

Can I spray thick acrylic paint with this?

[@callmemike6171]

BATAVIA does not mention acrylic paint by name, but as long as the paint instructions allow for thinning, it should work. The MAXXSPRAY Plus is powerful enough for viscosity up to 150-Dins. Be certain to strain the paint to avoid clogging.

How long did it take for your first paint batch to run out of your sprayer

[@callmemike6171]

There was plenty paint for two coats on the 8'x8' area of my front door. My other jobs were smaller. I would expect a bedroom for instance, would require a couple fillings. Outdoor wood fence, possibly every few panels. That is the key drawback of this style sprayer.

Hola una pregunta se puede usar pintura de aceite para pintar sin que se dañe la pistola

[@callmemike6171]

Sí, esmalte, imprimación y tinte a base de aceite. Limpiar con alcoholes minerales. ¡Advertencia! No utilice materiales con punto de inflamación inferior a 21°C (70°F)

[@youngsquilla]

Hurry up

[@fairrider3346]

???? YOU JUST PAINTED YOUR DOOR HENGES SHUT.

[@callmemike6171]

Lol, there was enough oil between the barrels not to stick them shut. After 6 months, and the door being used every day, the paint on the outside still looks great.

[@spiccolirocks3580]

@fairrider3346 Hey you just spelled (hinges) wrong! What are henges.....! 😂

[@fairrider3346]

SAME AS HINGES ONLY WITH AN E.DUHHH.@@spiccolirocks3580
