Paint Guns for Small Compressors

In this Episode we explore the HVLP and LVLP world by putting to the test both of these guns that will operate at a much lower pressure. The results is less overspray and much more paint savings! We also confirm that LVLP are much better choices for DIYers using smaller compressors!

What compressor size minimum i need for paint ??

[@socksonfeet8125]

The way you reinforce ideas in each and every video is super impressive, excellent teaching skills!

[@markbarton7303]

Another great looking paint job! Great blending tip again. That Italco looks pretty nice.

[@andrewhigdon8346]

Don’t fixate on the car when you can situate it instead. Pro tips. If you’re spraying scared, you’ve already lost, don’t let the car own you. Don’t overthink it, it’s only paint. You rock Brian. I love your show. Awesome.

[@PaintSociety]

So true!

[@johannvanderschyff7735]

Well done. Beginner to start with spray here from South Africa. Very nicely explained. Only 63 and starting as a hobby for myself. Also going to spray wood furniture.

[@agghell224]

Your videos are great. I like the fact that you explain every detail, even that the first clear coat will be peely.

[@marcphillips1020]

Great video Brian. I'd like to see you review the two guns i have, but haven't used yet. The Eastwood Concours LT and the Eastwood Concours Pro . Both are supposed to be able to work with smaller compressors. I personally will be using a 29 gallon Central pneumatic compressor.

[@plantspinetta]

Hey Brian, ir would be great if you attempt to paint several pieces with an actual Small Compressor, 20-30 gallons and do another review with this same guns, but it would be more realistic. Maybe you can borrow a small compressor and throw it in to the booth. Saludos desde Honduras

Just wanted to say much respect for ur talent for painting well done

[@mback12000]

If you're shopping for a budget compressor, stay away from the dual stage high pressure versions (175psi+). They almost always have a lower cfm rating than single stage compressors sub 150psi versions. Shop for cfm, that's what the paint gun is gonna need. And if you're on the edge with your current compressor, you can connect another tank (if it's before any regulator so it shares the pressure relief valve).

[@johnathanvanloggerenberg5373]

Came out super smooth! Amazing work. Big fan of yours all the way from South Africa I watch all your videos . I have a small shop and specialize in motorcycle spray painting since 2014 but I've learned so much in the last 6 months from your channel. Keep up the good work!

[@autosleekcarcare2370]

Awe boet 👍

[@twistedpixel2558]

These types of vids are so helpful. I hear so many people saying things like "Just go buy the correct tool for the job." I agree with that in most situations, but an 80 gallon 10 hp 30 cfm compressor is north of 3 grand. Most of us DIY'ers aren't gonna drop that much on a compressor and don't have the room for it in our garages when we only need it once every five years for doing a touch up or a body panel here or there.

[@michaelmusson3593]

not only the money for the compressor but your house have to have enough left in the electric box to handle a 10 horse motor. Good chance in these older homes you don't have it

[@RGD-Repairs]

I bought a DevilBiss SLG 610, which is a Conventional style spray gun but suitable for small compressors, and it painted my car very well :) Very pretty accurate pressure on the regulator when comp tank was full, and when it was requiring charging :) Love my DevilBiss.. So glad i went and bought a decent brand gun to start with.. Also 20-22psi for HVLP? I thought HVLP required alot more air pressure?!? Learn something new every day :D

[@JokerCustomPaint]

Another great paintjob Brian. You inspired me to go with my own shop... Well on some part. Actually I've also doin' some artistic stuff with airbrush, but with standard paint gun I think I have pretty much same style as you. High 5 from Poland Brian! 💪🤙

[@PaintSociety]

If you’re looking to purchase one of these guns you’ll have to use the “Contact Tab” located in the links in the description. Once contacted they can process an order. As of now, they are not listed on amazon or eBay. At least the real version.

[@austinstephensparks]

Do you think I could get with small jobs like the you're working on with a Dewalt 27 gal 200 psi compressor with these specs? 5.1 SCFM at 90 PSI provides faster recovery times resulting in increased project efficiency 6.8 SCFM at 40 PSI provides the ability to operate a HVLP spray gun

[@austinstephensparks]

Also its on sale for 469$ sounds like a decent price.

[@Travelingman-1980]

For you Brian, it is not the guns you spray with that makes the difference, but your eye of experience.

[@bross63]

The Auarita 898-2 LVLP gun literature lists its air consumption as 9-11 cfm, and the Italco Gloss X1 HVLP gun is shown as requiring 14-16 cfm. Neither of those guns are remotely close to being within the cfm output of a “regular” air compressor that operates on a 120 standard plug as you mention in the video. I thought you were going to be telling us about and demonstrating guns that would work well with a lower cfm compressor (5-7 cfm max) like those most folks have at home. Do you recommend any spray guns that actually do fit within the 5-7 cfm limitations of smaller compressors? Thanks

[@brandonpacheco6125]

Needed this as well..

[@mattman20132]

what's weird is it used to say 4-6 cfm on their website. On websites the gun is still being sold, it says 4-6 cfm. I wonder what changed

[@wcpportfolio]

It is interesting to note that since you wrote this it has increased yet again to 11-13 CFM. Might as well be a low end HVLP. The only true LVLP gun I’ve seen thus far has been the SPRAYIT 33000 and the summit racing LVLP guns (supposedly it’s the same gun). Good luck

Another great video! I love the angle of the camera and the lighting that distinctly shows the texture as its laid on. Thank you so much! Do you think you can do a video in the future about what options a small shop or DIY might have for mixing paint at home? Can we just buy a subset of the toners for mixing our most commonly used colors? For a full on body shop, being able to mix any color is needed but I deal mostly with European black cars (metallic and non metallic) for example, and on occasion might need to mix a different color, so buying an entire system that goes bad isn't financially feasible. What options do we have? Thank you!

[@workforbutt]

Thank you for the video and information right now I’m working on two cars one painting sections of the car the other car will need to be completely repainted right now I only have a 9 gallon I would definitely buy one of the guns you recommended thanks again

[@jamesarcher3065]

This is what I am looking for . Less waste and over-spray , more control on smaller areas . I want to go to a smaller compressor for many other reasons as well . Great for smaller jobs and motorcycle gas tanks . More portable .

[@Nonsense62365]

Great Video! Per the manufacturers website the Auralita 898-2 LVLP gun needs 9-11 CFM! most 30 gallon compressors don’t provide more than 5.3-6.2 CFM at 40PSI. And they don’t rate their compressors CFM Output at 30 PSI or less. Case in point I just purchased a DeWalt 30 gallon compressor it only rates its CFM at 90 PSI at 5.3 CFM. There’s 60 gallon is rated at over 11.2 CFM at 90 PSI. It weighs 208lbs and needs 240 volts 30 AMP Breaker. This means that you’ll have to either have a 240V circuit ran from your electrical panel or have the space available meaning an empty slot to install a new 30Amp breaker by a licensed electrician.

[@doomsdaydiesel]

Future video idea: I'd like to see a video comparing all the different air caps for a given gun. For example, the GTI Pro Lite has the TE10, T110, TE20, HV25, HV30, etc. It's daunting for someone to have to pick just one (since they're over $150/pop), let alone a newb like me.

Thanks Brian for the awesome tutorials, i am about to test out a 50 litre or 13.2 gallon compressor with a 3hp 220L/Min 8Bar (Claimed) setup, so this is just what i was looking for. Hopefully it has enough efficiency to run a LVLP or HVLP gun with decent results, im only a fairly amature sprayer.

[@Turbo-smokey]

How did it go ? I have the same compressor setup

[@Seeeeyaaaa]

@@Turbo-smokey i ended up adding a second 40Litre tank to give total volume of 90L, the motor ran hard with only 50L but with a Aeropro R500 LVLP it still worked for smaller jobs.

[@MJPilote]

Painting is fun with good equipment, but when you have painted for couple of years you get the painters curse. Every car you see and want to buy, you see every little flaw and repainted panel like it was on different color. Your friend buys a brand new car and proudly showing it to you, and all you can see is the dealership painters respray on a panel that was probably fixed after a scratch or something else during storage.

[@dharmagadda1]

This is awesome

[@dougowens2686]

That clear gun is amazing was that water base or solvent great job as always

[@schlingelmaru5034]

I've been told that you don't need a blending additiv with modern paint, because the metallic will not silver out. I learned car painting in germany and worked till 1992, I got sick. I developed an allergy to isocyanates and parts of the thinner. Today isocyanates are no more in the paint. At that time we needed ablending additiv and made it from ready mixed Clearcoat with thinner from the Basiccoat and very thin. At the time it functioned with the old material.

[@BITTYBOY121]

Great solution ! if you fancy a different color car but love your own car far too much to part with it ! - Just paint it the color of your choice !

[@buildadventure404]

Thanks for the Video! I have the setup you talked about (120v 30Gallon compressor) I am about to paint a truck And I was going to do single stage paint (I know clear is better but single is easier to touch up from my understanding). Would the Aurita LVLP be a good gun for that? Any reason I should run from single stage besides the usual Less happy with UV/Fade...

Great video Brian! Very informative all around. Where can a person shop for the Aurita 898-2?

[@tenament]

Hi. Great video. Do you use a shallow mask between the panels (like in the door jambs), so spray doesn't build on the inside surfaces? Also, what do you think about the Dewalt DWMT70777 gun? Is it worth $100, or is it actually more similar in quality to the $17 Harbor Freight gun and you're basically paying for the Dewalt name? Thanks.

[@mlasch1478]

Hi Brian, thanks for your channel and all the tips etc. It has been awhile since I did any painting, and those projects were Musical drums. I am now ready to spray a guitar body with Nitrocellulose clear from Stewmac ( clear especially for instruments) I might have bought the Auarita LVLP you show here, but to spend $120+ for a gun I might only use a few times, is now economical enough for me. I did find another Auarita. The MP-102 LVMP. It comes with a 1.0. Can I find a 1.2 or 1.3 to use on my gun, or am I stuck with the 1.0 if it does not do a great job shooting this clear. Do other brand Mini Gun LVMP LVLP caps etc fit Auarita's? Or do I need to find a Brand specific supplier of additional options for this gun? Thanks
