The Most Preventable MISTAKE a DIY Painter Can Make!

[@chriswallace9113]

I sprayed some panels with this gun over the weekend. It seems to be more forgiving than HVLP guns I have used, given less fluid is coming out. No sags or runs anywhere and that’s saying something for me. No doubt, though, this channel helped a great deal. Thanks to Brian and Paint Society that little BMW that’s been collecting dust in my garage will be presentable again.

[@Jim-fe2xz]

I'm just a hobbyist and it took me quite a while to figure out to make final adjustments as you spray. Since there was usually a fair amount of time between time spraying once I got the results I wanted I always wrote down all the settings and weather conditions on the back of the spray-out card. That got me pretty darned close when I got back to the project.

[@matthewtignor1018]

I've watched a lot of your videos and it really gave me the confidence to try painting. I love the slogan "Don't overthink it, it's just paint." You really just have to try it to learn it!

[@anonimous2451]

Yup and make all the mistakes rookies make. Trust me, it isn't all that easy. But try and then try again.

[@YootubeUK]

Quite right Brian, compressor tank sizes can be a problem if you're tanks too small. Another important one is airline diameter. Make sure it's up to flowing enough CFM, too small an I.D. and it's another "bottle-neck" you don't need if you're struggling for volume flow.

[@PopsiccDesigns]

What are the signs your compressor is not putting out enough CFM for your gun?

[@YootubeUK]

@@PopsiccDesigns Someone more qualified than me can probably give you a better answer but, you should hear the change in sound as you pull the trigger, you'll notice it if you've a pressure gauge on the bottom of your gun. The droplet size will get bigger and more orange-peel, less paint in the air and it will be slowing you down. Brian made a video on getting the correct pressure for your gun, that will show you ideal droplet size.

[@JESSEPAVON]

For the price none better than this one. I now feel like a pro.

[@Jopakilo]

12:18 so true. My k1x colour looks decent when under sun light. But it turns out completely different in the weather as you said.

[@mrobvious9535]

Running a kobalt 26gallon no issues on the small to medium jobs. Big difference was going to high flow fittings I can really keep consistent pressure all the way down to 40psi at the tank. I have a tank pressure sensor in the second output port that buzzes below 50psi so I know if I'm about to get in trouble

[@Jopakilo]

I totally agree. When you look at the colour under the sun, it is matched. But it goes different in that cloudy day. Any lights on the market will help to show the colour defect/ matching? 12:28

[@oznetyoutube125]

Another amazing spray session.... Obviously, your technique is rock solid, you're a good painter... But Brian, You are a DAMN GOOD Instructor. Layering into that near-flawless color match was awesome. TY for letting us learn from you.

[@PaintSociety]

Thank you!

[@442olds7]

I bought a really cheap gun ,less then 50 bucks from a place where they use a slow boat to ship it hehe, have not used it yet. Looks like it will become my primer gun, I am thinking this LVLP Spray gun might be my base/clear gun since my compressor isn't so great. I only do my own stuff anyways , I am not too fussy but still want it to look decent . Good video.

[@chriswallace9113]

I just got this gun a couple days ago and that’s my plan as well, going for a cheapo to spray my primer and this for topcoats.

[@StarMotorsDirect]

Can you recommend a Primer Gun?

[@frankgerardo8977]

Excellent tips! As usual, very helpful. Brian, I noticed your plastic sprayers in the video. I just got a Super Maxi 1.0 Acetone sprayer by Birchmeier... it is amazing (I have the Iwata Acetone sprayer, which doesn't even come close). It deserves a video and deserves to be in your arsenal. Thanks!

Thanks Brian, I learn a lot just by watching your videos….

This ain't your first rodeo. Your technique is flawless.

[@juanmena4676]

For the home DIYer. What economic gun what you recommend for shooting Primers, base/clear? Is there a 1 gun for all?

[@PowerOfOne-u4h]

Thanks Brian, I learn a lot just by watching your videos…

[@HPAcustomriflesandcerakote]

Tell you recently I bought two Porphis guns. One was $250 and one was $170. I lovè my 3 Devilbiss DV1 guns but the DV1-C is a little slow paced. That new Porphis prd-715 1.3mm I got atomizes fine like the DV1 but puts a lot more material out, though I spray at 29psi unlike 10psi with DV1-C. The other Porphis i got is a 1.8mm primer gun i really like it

[@jimprovax6846]

Hi Brian. Great content as usual. Just got this spray gun for my dad. He loves doing small projects. Great results so far. Enjoy your weekend brother. Have a Happy Father’s Day with your beautiful family.

[@derekwall3048]

Just finished the bed side on a 2016 Denali and used a $60 gun. It turned out beautifully and got a perfect blend. Wish I could share a picture of it!

[@socalstangman4655]

Man another great video. Amazon was a running a special deal on this gun the other day for 79.00 for this complete kit. I heard so many good things about it I went for it. I haven't tried it yet but I cant wait to.

[@chriswallace9113]

Ha, I did too.

[@PaintSociety]

For $79 i would buy 2!

[@BOOSTJUNKY]

Just ordered this using your link! I also bought the iwata from a few years back when it was about 120ish!

[@WoodsKushington]

I watched you for a while before my first project. Ended up painting this mk3 jetta trunk tornado red with a east wood 2 gun kit and a 5 gallom tank lol. Lets just say it took me a month to figure out the setup to spray a smooth base and clear with such a low gallon compressor lol. Took it to a looking paint shop and they said it looked better then some guys painting for 10 years that he knows.

[@BearBudgetgarage]

Get a 5 stage turbine and no worries about air. Just constant consistent volume and no water in the line. I recently bought the latest Fuji T series spray gun and am getting Very nice results spraying 4 to 1 clear. Finish one. I tend to buff every job as its garage painting and as such, there will be specs and imperfections. Although there might be an adjustment period at first. You may get chunky orange peel until you realize this is a bit different from compressor spraying. Once you dial it in, you will see this is the least overspray and Best air delivery by volume that you will achieve in your garage. 110 power.Plug and go. Turbine is the best kept "secret" to painting at home. Was confident enough in the system to sell my Iwattas and my Prolite. I have 5 turbine guns including 2 from China that actually do ok. But the Best I have is the Fuji T series and the Apollo 7700.

[@bencolpitts6923]

Which model?

[@trevcessna1723]

Good info about compressor size VS gun requirement! Nice paint job as always! Thanks!

[@richardbartlett4075]

Great video! I enjoy your videos and you speak very well. I'm 69 and I build high performance motorcycles and repair with my three pups. New to proper painting but long time rattle caner. Which do you mainly use, HVLP or LVLP? I understand the principle between both and I would think the LVLP would be of better for gas tanks, fenders and so forth. But I can't tell you how many times I have been wrong in this many years. Thank you for your time and willingness to show all of us your awesome work.

[@CapeCodTrainTodd]

The front bumper you matched looks better than the factory painted rear.

[@djbofjandb]

I haven't got to use mine yet as I was struggeling getting my drying system together as far as fittings and such but between the A610 I got and the DV1 the DV1 seems to be a great well made gun. I am working on my first paint project in a while repainting my 5X8 enclosed trailer. I think it will do well. Then I've got 2 posting jobs lined up painting a 11 Buick metallic black, then reclearing a Ram 1500. then onto painting a F350 crew cab dually 😮, Z 71, and eventually my 81 C10 All while being a OTR truck driver 70 plus hours a week, and DJing on weekends here and there. It might take a while to knock em out but I'm on em! Love the videos man!

Truly amazing! Thank you for such great and extremely valuable information. Keep up the great work!

[@Mike-01234]

I was wondering about those turbine compressor and spray guns they seem to be a match pair I'm assuming because of the CFM. Can those turbine and spray guns replace a large compressor, plus all the devices needed to condition the air for spraying without contamination.

[@klogjo]

Your videos on setting up a spray gun made my paint job. Can't thank you enough. No orange peel.

[@mm56314]

Hello, thank you for your videos, always very helpful!! I notice that your spray size is much bigger than mine. I use a 1.3, pressure around 2.5/3 bars. My spray is much narrower, I cannot seem to achieve such wide spread of the paint. Could you point me in the right direction?

[@thevinylwrapper]

Hey Brian, love the channel brother! Thanks for sharing all this great content! 30 gallon is kind of a large compressor for us here in South America. Mine has a 15 gallon tank only, would I get going with a compressor this size? How big are the compressors on a proper workshop?

A basecoat binder, an intercoat clear coat, and stabiliser thinners for metallics.

I am surprised in you Brian. I always use a disposable in line filter under my regulator.

You also constantly have small pieces of rubber from inside your house even when new and as it gets used

If you're a diy type and youd prefer a good system thats all designed as a unit aka you arent mixing and matching. Then Fuji has a turbine based sprayer. Its their entry level turbine unit with a cup instead of a siphon gun. It atomizes very well and like this lvlp it comes with needles and caps so you can lay down primer, base and clear. Ive used mine with single stage enamels, base clear urethanes and even waterborne paints. Its about $400 and its self contained

Hi Brian, most of your vids cover how to spray/sand and so on. And unlike most of your viewers (I presume) I don't have the funds to purchase a spray gun, compressor, and accessories so I stick to rattle can spray and make-shift air booth by taping painter's plastic around a 10x10 tent. I recently fixed & sprayed my mom's bumper but had a hard time this 2nd around because I ran into all kinds of problems and didn't know when to stop fixes. It would be great if you could cover this in your future vids, and that is: 1) how much do you sand off old paint for minor damages? What grit do you start off & end with? How do you spray primer on a minor/small area without overspraying? When removing "new" primer due to a mistake how much should one remove? I also end up sanding off too much to the point where I get frustrated and sand all the paint and start over. There are so many other mistakes I can think of but don't know if you can cover all in one vid. Let me know and I can list it all down via email. Thanks for all your vids!
