I think they should get the job done along with painting some furniture around the house. Thanks for the video.💯✊🏾

The best combination of advice: simple, complete, and to the point. I have a new HF purple gun. My first project was to refinish some outdoor furniture. I figured a mistake or so here wouldn’t matter. My wife was out for a few hours and when she returned she was amazed at the new chairs and table ready for summer BBQs. Good gun and great explanation.

I just bought this purple gun about a month ago or so. Finally got to use it for the first time this past weekend. And I can tell you.....I don't know what I'm doing (misplaced the manual). I had problems spraying paint. I played with the knobs and air pressure ( I have a pressure gauge and moisture filter attached). Now I know how to set the gun up to a basic starting point and know what the knobs do. Thank you for the instructional video. It helped out a great deal. The major issue while I was trying to paint (other than me, operator error), was the paint. I went straight from the can to the sprayer (Rust-Oleum Professional Smoke Gray Gloss Oil-based Enamel Interior/Exterior Paint ). I did not thin out the paint. Was not getting a spray pattern. It was coming out with splatter droplets. So, with this video and thin out the pain, I think I will do better next time. As far as thinning paint.....how thin? I heard to thin out paint to the consistency of milk. OK. 1%, 2%, or whole milk? any advice?
@gixerman01
@gixerman01 4 жыл бұрын
Ok I would use a viscosity cup. You can buy one on amazon. 20-24 sec on an ez zahn 2. Or you can start off by thinning by 25%. 3 parts paint 1 part solvent. Then spray a test piece. If it still sprays dry increase the solvent. Also make sure you pull out the filter from the cup. ( I would do that first) use a filter when you pour in the cup. I have a video where I paint some wheels check it out. Thanks for watching.

Been painting professionally for 15 years now(I restore construction equipment), and...those guns..are the ONLY ones that I use now. I have found, the better the paint...the better the finish. I've done 11 Bobcats(White, black and orange) with one gun. I've even stretched some to 18 projects. My customers love the results. Just make sure to keep the gun clean, especially the front nozzle. make sure to soak it in acetone, then, with a very fine wire...clean the time holes in the center.

@@RickaramaTrama-lc1ys I used to have one of these guns and I used acetone for cleaning after spraying polyester primer through it. Acetone won't be a problem in the fluid section of this gun. The cup is a plastic that isn't affected by acetone. Everthing else is metal except the needle seal which is teflon. Just put acetone in the cup and run it through the gun. The gun body is anodized aluminum and that's not affected by acetone so you can wipe the gun down with it if you wish.

I think "flud" means fluid. Good vid, but I must say you professional guys always set up your guns very wet, so you can work fast. I think for amateurs it's better to set up a bit leaner on the flud ;) and maybe a bit narrower on the fan and then work a bit slower with more passes. What do you think?

Im painting my vw bug with this gun. And I set my static pressure at 70psi at the compressor. Through a 15feet hose that gives me about the right amount of dynamic pressure when spraying. Set my fan wide like he says. Marked my fluid knob with a sharpie and turned it all the way in and then turn it out 2.5 turns. Air setting on the gun is wide open. Im mostly 5"-6" away from the part when spraying. This gives me a nice gloss and no runs. I move the gun pretty quick but not to crazy. And do about 3 coats in 15min intervals for my 2K Acrylic single stage paint job in my garage. After that I need to wet sand with 2000 though because of dust nibs. The things that suck with this gun is you don't get a nice football shape spray pattern more like one straight line and it need pretty high air pressure to atomise correctly. But you can still get a decent job out if it if you know how to work this gun.

Saul Basua best thing to do is run some lacquer thinner thru it pull the air cap. fluid tip and needle and wipe them down with some thinner. Then put it back together and flush again with clean thinner. I usually leave some thinner in my gun and store my air cap in it. This makes sure no residue will set up if you didn’t get it clean. I store mine hanging up and I use them quite often. If yours will not be used very often then you may just want to flush with solvent till it’s empty and store it dry. Thanks for watching.

Just don’t buy the small gun for small touch up it comes with a aluminum bowl that won’t stay upwards and the trigger shaft nut leaks bad if you try and tighten it will snap buy a Home Depot Husky better quality

40-50 psi is way too much if your spraying automotive paint. 30 psi is probably the most you would want to spray at, maybe even less

is there something wrong with my pressure reg.at the gun working properly/?It goes to 0- 40psi ,no inbetween unless I lower it T THE COMPRESSOR?
@jakeclauson9863

@@sonnybee8271 iv used the hf gun with no regulator at the psi coming out of the compressor, and it came out perfect. It also used way more paint then it would at the proper psi. But if you got extra paint to waste then so be it. But if your trying to be as efficient as you can, which a DIYer should want to do, then you should spray at the proper psi. If a panel only requires 2 oz why use 5 oz to get the job done? Or if the guy selling you the paint says 2 oz will be more then enough and you go home with 2 oz but your gun isnt set up right so it blows thru that 2 oz before the job is done.. but like I said if you got paint/money to burn sand that's the only way you know then that's fine. But you doing a disservice to everyone trying to learn by watching this

Jake Clauson I’m buying this gun tomorrow to do my entire truck. What psi do I need to run my gun at and what size compressor do I need? I’ve heard anything from 20 gallon to 60.

Great video with nice explanations. Bought one yesterday, and it was a real piece, only would flow 4 oz of water max and was leaking from the flow needle before I could even use it. Now 50 miles to the nearest harbour freight, just about my luck.

I have the same H. F. gun. The issue I'm having is the gun "won't" spray. Liquid goes in the "Hopper" and then when the trigger is pulled, liquid bubbles out the top whole in the cap. So, I disassemble the gun-clean it rigorously looking for any particulate that could cause a blockage and then re-assemble the gun. I use small brushes on a metal shaft and some very small metal shaft devices to clean orifices. Last night I let all parts and pieces soak in gun cleaner overnight thinking something might/must be lodged in one of the orifices. Any and all suggestions are appreciated. I'd even welcome going "ear to ear". thank you.

Thanks for taking the time to make the video I'm a retired firefighter paramedic looking to do some odd jobs in the backyard. I want to paint my metal patio set and my metal garden cart and three pieces of wooden garden furniture. Assuming I'm using latex for the wood and enamel or Oils for the metals is there any set up difference if I change paints

Thanks for the video, if you get one of these guns clean it thoroughly, there is a ton of manufacturer grease on them. It's in the instructions but just wanted to make this point so you don't ruin your paint.
