Cheapest Mini Spray Gun On Ebay! , Can it do a good job?

[@Ben-kt5rc]

Thanks for putting this video up, it's really useful. I'm looking for a small spray gun like this to paint a vice and some tractor bits so I don't need amazing quality and it's good to know that something like this will work, although I'll check out the ANI first. I also really appreciate that you don't ramble and going off on tangents which seems to be very common on videos! Thanks a lot

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi Ben, I am often guilty of going off topic, not by much, but it does happen 😉 Good to hear you found the video worth watching. Do have a look at the ANI or maybe one of the Chinese R500 style guns, or a Chinese W101 gun, they are pretty good and should come in around 30 GBP, cheers mate, thanks for watching 😉

[@Ben-kt5rc]

@@peteshobbies5383 I'm just going through your videos on the GF3 now! They're really useful and I think that's the one I'll go for. Do you have any videos on how to choose the right nozzle size? It looks like there are 4 options for the GF3

[@peteshobbies5383]

@Ben-kt5rc No, No videos directly about tip sizes, if you look at the TDS, so Technical Data Sheets for the product you are going to spray it should give you a recommended tip size

[@Ben-kt5rc]

@@peteshobbies5383 Thanks a lot, annoyingly the company I bought the paint from won't reply to my emails! It's some BRS enamel so nothing too complex, I think I'll just go for the GF3 with a 1.2mm nozzle and see how I get on. If it doesn't go well I'll watch more of your videos! Cheers

[@peteshobbies5383]

@Ben-kt5rc Yeah, that's certainly the most common and should do most things, cheers mate 👍

[@HPAcustomriflesandcerakote]

When i first started using spray guns i had a 0.8mm that was silver and was identicle to this. It was for cerakote since i am in the rifle building business. Lasted about 5 months in which I upgraded to a CA technologies mini hvlp gun, then the Walcom ego190 0.7mm now i use the DV1S 0.7mm mini for cerakote

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi mate, that's quite a journey 😀

[@Cavalier_Steve]

Hi Pete congratulations on the 1000 subscribers very much deserved indeed! For what that spray gun cost you it gave a great finish but then I’m sure that’s down to you the painter and knowing what you are doing, I quite like that rose gold colour definitely something different from being on an iPhone 😂 great video as always. Thank you. Cheers

[@peteshobbies5383]

Cheers Steve, yes, it gave a good result, I'm sure it won't last long but if people are on a limited budget there's a place for something like this, thanks for your support mate, much appreciated 👍

Buddy, Congrats you hitting 1K subscribers 😍😍😍

[@peteshobbies5383]

Thanks you, much appreciated 👍

[@robertsteadman4226]

Thanks, I got one of these for £9 something including postage and haven't used it yet. Thanks for the tips and you did a great job there A+

[@peteshobbies5383]

Thanks Robert 👍

[@swc-diygarage]

Congrats on hitting 1K subs my channel almost there also. I have couple of those cheaper guns and have found the plastic diffuser is very particular on how much you tighten the fluid tip. It may spray really good with a nice little fan to not at all. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@peteshobbies5383]

Thanks buddy, yes, i imagine the quality control is very poor so maybe one man's findings may be different to another, got to be better than a spray can though?, cheers 👍

[@robjohnson8470]

Love your video s your the only person I know that spray s like me. I find it give s me a really flat finish. Love painting myself. Very additive. Rob.

[@peteshobbies5383]

Thanks Rob, it's funny, because some people have said i do it wrong, not many but a few, and one comment they also say is " I can't believe you get the finish you do doing it the way you do" which surely makes the first part of there statement void? . Anyway, I do modify my style sometimes but at the end of the day, if the results are good and last over time it doesn't matter how you got there. Glad you like your painting, as you probably guessed I'm the same, as you say, it's very additive and really quite satisfying when you step back and take it all in, cheers mate, thanks for watching 👍

[@JohnWD40TC02]

Hey Pete, congrats on passing the 1K subs mate very well deserved if you get many more you will be charging us a pay per view fee 😲😂 That tank looks great to me not a bad finish for that gun, as you say if it's just for a one off job then it's an ideal gun or you might get a few months out of it before something fails on the gun, hmm ok that's it I'm selling all my DV1's and GTI ProLite's then spending it all on a holiday then get one of those £10 guns, nah I'll get 2 of them 😎 That gun you got off ebay looks the same as the one I bought from Amazon way back when I first started spraying, mine was called a ORAZIO 0.5MM and cost £12.99 I bought it on the 5th August 2019 first gun I ever bought, I started spraying enamel paint through it and it was horrible stuff so I moved over to cellulose which was better then about 18 months ago I started using 2K paint so built my workshop to do it in.

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi John, i wouldn't sell ya Devilbiss's yet mate, i don't think these things last to long. I only did it because it was interesting to see what it's like and if you could do a reasonable job with it which you can, also, it's all fair and well using guns that cost £500 but the chap with a family etc are often excluded due to cost so as with you it's a starting point. I really didn't enjoy using it, it feels cheap and not rewarding compared to a better quality spraygun but it shows people you can get one and do a job with it and it's got to be better than spray cans, cheers mate 👍

[@quadsmack]

Thanks for doing this Pete! I have my eye on an LPH80 for cycle frame painting but the budget means that has to wait a bit, so i was considering something cheaper just to get started. Unfortunately the ANI GF3 isnt readily available here in the states that I can find, so shipping doubles the cost to here! Your vid lets me know that for the first few bikes one of these cheap guns might not be a bad starting point, and i can upgrade as i go! Helpful as always!

[@peteshobbies5383]

Thanks mate, yes, that was the idea of the video really, i know people have varying budgets, i do buy my own stuff so appreciate everything costs and also a lot of people just can't justify a big outlay for whatever reason. I was quite surprised by this gun, I'm sure it's not going to last long but as you say, it will get you going and the small fan is ideal for bike frames, cheers buddy 👍

[@Seenoevil111]

I started painting my bikes with this same gun! Actually the small fan was perfect for bike frames and because the gun was so cheap, I didn't really care if it broke down after a handful of uses (and it did!). Buy it, experiment with your painting and move onto a better gun., you won't regret doing it that way.

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi Mate, yes, there's certainly a place for a cheap mini gun and, as you say, when they go wrong it's no big deal because they are so cheap, cheers 👍

Hi Pete , I have the exact same cheap spray gun but by the second or third use the fluid tip started leaking on mine,and speaking of mini guns I saw you post pics on Instagram of air nozzles (EPA and Aqua?) which I think are on the Sagola mini extreme, if you ever get the chance I'd love to see a comparison of the mini extreme vs the DV1s maybe even thrown in the AZ4 .anyhow you got a great result with that cheapy , great video !!!

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi Roger, yes, I'm sure the Chinese gun won't last long, won't be using it much, just thought it would make an interesting video really. Yes, i have just got the Aqua version of the Mini Xtreme, i have used it but it's still in Spain and i won't be able to get it back to the UK for a wile, rest assured i will be testing them back to back with a fair few including the DV1s, cheers buddy 👍

[@dimebag108]

I have the same gun and I'm really enjoying it. Actually I went from 1.3 to 0.8/0.5, and I also found out that the wide spray is quite useless for small pieces, if you don't wanna end up into a cloud of paint. What's the width of the spread you're using in the video?

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi mate, this has quite a small pattern from memory it's about 4 to 4 1/2 inches, so around 100 mm to 120mm

[@dimebag108]

[@gren509]

Hi Gren, here's a video I did on cleaning, not this gun, but the method is exactly the same. kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4uZXqqriK1mh8U I'm working on a video to show how the difference settings affect the way a gun sprays. In this video, the settings should be listed on the video. Thanks for watching 👍

Congratulations on hitting the 1k subscribers Pete. Been through many cheapie.... But these are, use once and bin it. Plus they are not reliable!!!

[@peteshobbies5383]

Thanks Niam, yes, they feel truly awful to use but I'm just thinking they have to be better than a spray can if you have a compressor, cheers 👍

[@eyesquish485]

looks like the Paasche mini?

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi buddy, it wasn't called that, but I suspect it's marketed under many different brands and colors

My first practice was with such gun and small 24L (4cfm) compressor. It was ok for thin primer/base/clear and survived ~30 cycles until I bought something better. The perfect way to set the pressure: when the pattern is like O - increase, when 8 decrease, when 0 perfect 🙂 This little thing was the best 10usd invested (aliexpress) 🙂

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi Mate, Yes, the pattern is very dependent on pressure and viscosity of materials , cheers buddy 👍

[@cmarko5000]

Hello, what type of air compressor do I need?

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi Mate, you would need something that could supply around 5cfm for one of these guns

[@luismaryland2305]

I bought it 3 days ago. Worst spray gun Hole at air cap is off center. And the cup keeps clogging with the paint. do you know how to solvlve it

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi Luis, if the paint cup is clogging with paint it suggests the paint is too thick, have you tried thinners/reducer?

[@krazed0451]

​@@peteshobbies5383 Definitely valuable information, I was looking at one of these to get started with Cerakote on some moto parts... Sadly I can't get the upgrade gun you recommend in Australia so I'm looking around for something else a bit more refined :-)

[@peteshobbies5383]

@krazed0451 People normally use a small tip, around 0.8 for Cerakote , I've never used it, but people tell me that

[@ev-olution8597]

Funny how instructions, which comes with this gun, says minimum pressure 2.5 bar and maximum 3.5 bar. And like yourself, I found it only does a good job at around 2.0 bar. Mine is 0.8.

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi mate, you find that a lot with the cheaper Chinese products. The spec has little relevance in reality, cheers, buddy 👍

[@ev-olution8597]

​@@peteshobbies5383 Yes, they probably nicked user instructions from some other brand :) Today I did some experimenting with this spray gun. I noticed if I increase pressure, paint flow starts pulsing, so the spray pattern is very uneven. I undone the cap just to see if it helps. And indeed it stopped pulsing. So my guess is, hole in the cup is too small. Not sure if your spray gun has same pulsing issue with higher pressure. But if it does, try spraying with cap slightly undone. Higher pressure made the clear coat super smooth.

[@peteshobbies5383]

@ev-olution8597 I haven't had any pulsing problems

I think it's as knockoff of the Sata minijet 2, looks pretty identical except for the color.

Hi Mate, I'm relatively new to Sata so have now idea, I'm sure they got the styling from somewhere so your probably right, it's a horrible tool which I'm sure the Sata isn't, cheers 👍

Hi Dean, yes, I'm sure it will mate, i just thought it would be interesting to see what it was like but more importantly if someone had a project to do and didn't want to buy a better gun then it's definitely an option that is better than spray cans provided they have a compressor, don't worry mate, it won't get much use, just trying to cater for every budget, take care buddy 👍
