Spray Gun set up - 7 pro tips you need to know

[@georgehenderson5167]

I would like to buy my own spray gun and do my frame myself as a local company have completely messed it up. Can you recommend a spray gun that I will be able to apply all coats with?

[@ETOE]

Please find some in the video description.

Santa rp is great but pricy, Devilbis is great quality and cheaper. Devilbis are maybe a better choice for a beginners, due to easy cleaning, maintenance and troubleshooting.

Martin made all these guns dirty, and he will spend time cleaning them again just to show us how it's done right. What an educator! I've never spent so much time on a channel. Big love. ✌

[@cesarrlozanol]

Yes, I'm almost a pro painter! Jajaja, just kidding, but this is the best explanation of spray gun setting I've seen so far. Thanks Martin 👍🏽

[@rollothompson6130]

honestly the best of many many vids i have watched. Thank you and wish me luck 😂

[@binitbob]

And you answer all the questions in one video. True German efficiency. 😉👍

[@semasa57]

Very easy to understand when listen to pro. Thank you.

[@ETOE]

You are welcome.

[@jbaldwin99]

By far the best explanation I've seen - very clear and easy to understand - thanks so much for doing this.

[@emmanuelkatende369]

U have just made me a pro with this video

[@vaunkillion262]

I have a set of cheap Harbor Freight guns and they worked well for my last project that I used them on, but I thought I was using a lot of paint and now I know why that is. I probably had the fluid tip open way too far and was wasting color and had my fan too wide so I was painting the open air almost as much as the project. This was a great video thanks.

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks Martin. Just going out to check my compressor, see if can handle a mini spray gun.

[@josdeneve]

great professional video

[@andrewmartin877]

The best instructional talk on hvlp and lvlp 🎉 well do sir 👍 👏 👌

[@Tubedog8]

I bought a gun and a compressor last year and painted the top of my car. It came out OK but definitely not professional. Today I did the roof on my other car after setting up the gun properly as you described. Wow! It came out really good!! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!!

[@ETOE]

You are welcome.

Did you use a hvlp gun or a lvlp gun?

[@ramsdalesherman3844]

Just a quick thank you for a very informative video. I'm usually very careful about researching new things I do but I quite stupidly didn't research set up of a spray gun when using my own new one for first time just figured would be fairly fill it and go and made a bit of a mess of my first coats of top coat on a machine restoration in doing, watched your vid evening after mess up. Went into Workshop next day with your info in head and got gun set up spot on and have managed to rescue the paint finish on my machine. Big thanks 😊🙏

[@BROTUNED]

Awesome info I just purchased my first spray gun and have been playing with my airbrush. Thanks for all the set up tips and painting tricks. I just did my dh mtb because you inspired me. 2k clear is a game changer. Great channel can’t wait to watch more of these quality video’s

[@gavinbroad1743]

I just bought a Sealey HVLP741 with a 1.3mm nozzle. I just can't get enough paint to come out of it. More thinners? I am only painting some under body brackets and wheel arches, nothing complicated.

[@andresmendoza5097]

Thank you so much for explain this so easy to understand. Often, so much empirical "paniters" doesn´t really knows how to adjunst its spray guns. You should make a video showing us the rigth way to prepare the paint, how to know the right viscosity... Once more, thank you

[@janeeightfive7331]

can you explain more the other end of the gun? what do you need? a compressor and oxygen?

[@BlueSky-ey4wt]

Great video.

[@ETOE]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@TheAnthrow]

Very interesting video!

[@cwsgt2806]

In other DIY spray can video you do, you wet sand 800G between clear coats also you have previously used 2k clears over Montana paints. Is 2k clear for acrylic base coats? Or is it only certain ones? Also is the to wet sand between clear coats always needed either DIY OR PRO and why? Also can you make some DIY Videos on spraying custom components eg CRANKS, Stems, seat posts, hubs and fixing bolts for these pieces eg silver bolts to black or eg a black seatpost that is all scratched how to do a blended/ repair/ refurbished paint finish all at the same tim making sure to discuss how to make the end product paint as factory durable for the particular parts as the tend to cop the most abuse when riding! Martin you simply are the greatest KZbinr and the world’s greatest custom painter THANK YOU KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK

[@kevjr_kev7218]

So lvlp guns are better for painting helmets..??

Hi Martin can you make a video on which spray can nozzles to use for custom paint a bicycle frame

[@ETOE]

I use the ones provided with the spray cans. That's all I can say about that.

[@RC.56]

Hello, what do you add just prior to the gun? No last filter or desiccant? What’s on end of line? Quick disconnect-filter-regulator-gun?

[@ETOE]

Active charcoal filter for 300$

[@joshrowe9774]

thanks this is quite helpful.

[@gugumc1]

Thanks for the video! I want to know if lph80 (mini spray gun) can spray all kind of materials, including primer. Maybe I'm wrong, but you use supernova gun for primer and lph80 for the other steps... Can I use lph80 for spray all painting steps with high quality? Can you answer with this question? Thanks in advance.

[@tomnorton8218]

When spraying clear coat is it difficult to see,on a bike frame, the coverage when spraying a "dot" pattern?

[@Jan_Seidel]

On tip I have never seen mentioned somewhere is the size of the orifice in the nozzle. What is the right size for car painting? 0.8mm - 1.2mm - 2mm ?

[@ETOE]

Primers between 1.4 to 2.0, base color 1.0 to 1.2 clear 1.2 to 1.4 depending on preferences. Touch up 0.5 to 1.0 depending on preferences.

[@Jan_Seidel]

Ask SATA they can tell you. I sold all my SATA stuff because I don`t like the quality.

[@grahamwhitaker930]

Awesome. Just the info I needed. Out of interest, what guns are you using?

[@flyinlo1474]

The links are for HVLP. Which LVLP guns do you recommend for a good beginner gun?

[@anieste]

I view your vlogs often and find your work very good. What I noticed with this vlogs was the ommision of needle size(s) that you've often made reference to in your other vlogs. How important are needle sizes and what are their characteristics?

[@rev10designs73]

Which gun do you use for spraying helmet?

[@unbxed2070]

Hi Martin, Love your videos and work so much that I even start eveningschool where you learn to paint so that I can make I hope nice paint work. I have a question what is the best degreaser for bike painting? And if you make your own spray booth with a spray wall in your garage where I have to keep attention to so that it's a good working DIY paint booth? Kind regards Jürgen

[@silviusanda7570]

Danke!

[@YuoTubeTobi]

Super Video, wie immer! Vielen Dank für die super Tipps. Welche guns nutzt du eigentlich? Und viel wichtiger gibt's eine bevorzugte Needle/Nozzle Combo von dir? Gun ist ja das eine, aber welche Nadel und welche Düse nutzt man am besten für Bike parts? Wäre bestimmt ein eigenes Video wert über gute Guns zu sprechen (profi sowie bezahlbare Variante) sowie die richtige N/N Combo.

[@ETOE]

Glaube nicht dass jemand solche Videos anschaut und ich kann es mir nicht leisten weiter solche Videos zu machen. Sieht man ja an diesem dass das keinen interessiert.

[@YuoTubeTobi]

Das ist schade, aber völlig nachvollziehbar! Ich wünsche dir weiterhin viel Erfolg! Gräme dich nicht wenn mal ein Video kein Hit wird. Ich wünsche dir eine prima Auftragslage in dieser verrückten Zeit und auch in Zukunft. Gruß von der Ostsee.

[@andyt6600]

Would have liked it if you showed how much pressure was lost in the airhose by opening the valve under gun completely.

[@ETOE]

Not more than the pressure of a good chilli fart. 🌶

[@damensutherland7081]

You should get sata 4400 minijet

[@ETOE]

Surely not! All my minijets died after 3-4 years. The Iwatas run 10 years without any issues. Sata is crap since they changed production in the 2000nds

[@jaimeb.384]

What about paint quantities? You mentiones 100-150 for a bike, is that per coat? It would be cool to do a videos on quantities for a car, a motorbike tank, a bicycle, etc. So we know how much paint to buy.

Very informative as I’m in the process of looking at buying my first compressor and spray gun (once lockdown is over), thanks for sharing this info 👍🏼 One more question, will a 50l compressor be sufficient to spray paint bicycles frames or should I go for a 100l unit?

[@ETOE]

You need min 350l/min to run spray guns.

[@BuffsVintageBikes]

ETOE okay thanks, so I’m way off the mark, I’m needing something much bigger in terms of tank volume even though I’ll only be doing bikes 👍🏼

[@Karpalet]

I've been watching a lot of painting videos. I've been looking for these hvlp guns, since basically it is used 9 times out of 10. But then I found that for example this "custom z warrior" channel used RP gun with some clear coats and explained it would be the best for clears. So, is there any big difference for beginner/intermediate worker for lets say 1 gun and it would have to do all jobs? Just wondering. And what would be the difference between HVLP vs RP guns..

[@ETOE]

HVLP is high volume low pressure. RP is reduced pressure. Both have approx 65% transfer efficiency. RP needs more air approx 290L/min. HVLP only 170L/min. I love the LVLP with a split nozzle for clear aplication.

[@Karpalet]

@@ETOE Cheers! Gonna look and read about those too. Keep doing great videos!

[@Nerdifant]

@@ETOE Hey Martin which size of nozzle would you recommend? Does it make sense to get more than one size?

[@ETOE]

true or false : LVLP is for experts and HVLP is for begginners ?

[@ETOE]

Cans are for beginners. Spray guns are for pros.

[@ericwilliams8945]

@@ETOE Can you clarify something? You say you use LVLP guns because the lower volume of air creates less atomization. Yet, all of the guns you recommended in the links below are HVLP. Thank you, and I love your videos! You're doing amazing work!

bro you never say what direction to turn the cheater valve to attain WIDE OPEN, nor does anyone on the iternet, they all say leave it wide open and move on, well what direction is wide open, NOBODY KNOWS

[@ETOE]

Just turn until no air runs through the spray gun. It`s full closed. Turn the opposite way it`s full open.

[@tripleeathletics]

Sorry Brother, But I’m only 2 minutes in and I’ve heard some HORRIBLE ADVICE!!! You say you can’t spray overhead, or that you need a “bottom feed” gun??? WRONG!!!!! The 3m PPS cup system is absolutely Wonderful for correcting that problem, and is what most ALL Professional shops & painters use these days!!! You basically put the cup on, turn it upside down and allow it to suck the air out, Then you are good to spray overhead as much as you want and you won’t get a DROP ON YOU!!!

[@jeanalagna2197]

[@fixitnow765]

Why are there different needle/tips sizes when one can control the fluid volume via the gun controls? Can a 1.8mm tip spray like a 1.0mm tip but not the other way around?

[@ETOE]

To spray different materials.
