I used the Apollo 5 stage system and had no problem painting a complete 1973 Buick Riviera and a 1935 Chevy custom

[@gremlin1396]

Once again, Brian great video. The system I bought over 30 years ago was Accuspray. The system I needed needed to be portable. And I fell in love with the unit they had. I've also have the Apollo 5 stage system and both work very, very well. The thing that I like about HVLP is that you can put down a near glass finish and have very little orange peel to sand out. Apollo is number one in the industry on HVLP right now. And I'm glad to hear they came out with a sixth stage turbine. Brian, sorry to see your power went out and screwed up your paint booth, but at least you're able to catch it on camera. HAHA.

[@Ontheroadbrogymgo]

I love the fact that Shawn was honest, and said that you would probably need a bigger system for complete paint jobs. I think I would go nuts, spraying that slow. I would be surprised if the clear at the beginning of the panel wasn’t dry by the time you get to the other end. Just my thinking. However, it looked gorgeous. Definitely takes patience. Brian, thanks for keeping it honest! I love your channel! Keep up the great work.

[@rpb1961]

Turbine air is hot and dry. It can be done with extra slow reducer. It is a slooow process.

[@BearBudgetgarage]

Spraying slower is a fair trade-off if you are in a garage environment. Think of all the time and hours blocking a project car. What's a little more time when you are spraying to minimize fog in the air? I have also noticed Significant savings in material. 2 quarts of base to paint a smaller vehicle. Another huge plus if you are not a big shop. Lastly, I do completes with the turbines now. 4 stage Apollo for base works just fine. Then I switch to my 5 stage for heavier materials. I originally bought the 4 stage used(to test out system) then purchased a new 5 stage. I don't spray daily, so it works fine.

[@Justntoys]

Hmm I've been happy with my 5 stage Fuji turbine at 9psi but I may have to give this 6 stage 11 psi one a try.

reminds me of a couple years ago , painting a 71 chevy truck for my neighbor . Just had layed a beautiful coat of clear on the cab , when the breaker blew while I was cleaning my gun and prepping another pps cup of clear in a different room unable to see or hear what happened . Came back to my booth stuck to the roof ... epic fail. After that I used the booth on my generator , which can run for 8 hours plus.... and made a pvc structure for a reinforcment inside to hold up in case of any mishaps. I want to try a turbine sprayer that actually did pretty well I like having 1 gun with different tips to adjust to .

[@jerryvikla3925]

Those booths should have sewn in loops on the outside so you could tie it up to the ceiling so that in case they loose power they wouldn't collapse on the job. How frustrating! Great video as always Brian!!

[@מדינט]

I like it, so much less overspray and the results looks great.

[@ratrod1962]

As a turbine user since the late 90s, they are great for motorcycle work, as you don’t need to run a big compressor for a smaller job, also they work great for a hotrod flat black, as the heated air doesn’t blush, if you look at a flat black from a compressor it looks blushed

[@1rockymtnrider]

I'm thinking about a turbine system for home use, so I am always glad to see you make a video using one. An inflatable spray booth would be great but seeing it deflate because you lost power worries me. I believe carcoon makes one that holds the air without motor constantly running.

[@PaintSociety]

Theres ways around it. Like tying it up. It will precent this

[@alleybuilds5370]

another thing you can do is build a quick PVC frame on the inside. 4 unions and 8 pipes god forbid you lose power the PVC frame will hold it up. and after you are done painting you just pull it apart.

[@normd5776]

Brian, this probably won't be a popular comment. But, 2,699 to 2,999 is NOT DIY friendly for most people. For for those living on a fixed or low income, and most regular people who are working to keep an older vehicle running decent, and not looking like it should be in a wrecking yard...that kind of funding is way outside the realm of possibility. And these companies don't send freebies like that to people who are unknown and that don't have KZbin channels, on a phone call.

[@Smittyyracing]

Facts

[@jhurley12]

I was giddy and excited until i looked up the cost. Not in the cards yet. But look at it like this: Setting up a regular garage for compressor duties, you can go pretty modest, so theres money saved there. By the time you add desiccant dryers, refrigerator setup and maintenance cost, and that in my opinion, without the worry about oil and condensation in the air lines-this product offers alot of predictability in the outcome of the paintjob, even in the short term one will come out ahead financially and job result with this machine. Narrowly. Just my opinion.

[@Gary_in_NoVA]

Nice demo. But yeah, besides the $$, what DIY’er has a garage or workshop big enough, or empty enough, for an inflatable paint booth.

[@mikemikeyee]

Seen how much paint jobs cost at the shop these days? This is something a diyer could consider. Probably after some experience with a compressor setup?

[@margidda5252]

I really like that you covered this content. I have been looking into these inflatable booths because they're very affordable. Especially on black friday sale prices. The power outage issue changed my mind because i would be running the elephant trunk blower as well which draws even more power. Looks like i will be spending a little more and building a free standing permanent paint booth. It will be getting used at least 3 times a year

[@PaintSociety]

Had I used the hook on the top of the booth to hold it up, i wouldnt of have this issue.

[@iamtifosi701]

Brian, thanks for doing a turbine video. I really love these! I hope you do more with gun setup and technique tips. I own a FUJI Mini Mite 5 stage system that I purchased new on Craigslist for $800.

[@scottr3141]

I spray interior house cabinets, trims , and doors with the customer in the other room. Overspray with a turbine ends up just like wiping up dust in a house , and it only goes about 6-8 ft. from what your spraying. I'm going to try spraying my son's car for him with my turbine, but I have painted many cars in my garage with the big compressor I have. Just think this would be fun to try .lol

[@T3glider]

Re the tent collapse. A good idea is create a snap together inner frame with plastic tubing as a back up to support the tent. It is useful as a safety, but also to allow the tent to remain up when not powered while doing setup.

[@paulhaeggquist4266]

Brian, great video! Im a mobile tech for over 25yrs and have been using the Apollo Precision 5 for the last year or so. Ive been using compressed air the whole time and i do love the Apollo system. Less material and overspray. That being said there is a Huge learning curve going to turbine! You have to trust the flow out ability of the material you’re spraying and put on way less material 😂 or you will get runs like you’ve never experienced. Couple questions about the Precision 6 if you don’t mind?- 1) Does it have the auto Pause? (Hate that feature!) 2) What’s the highest psi the 6 goes up to? (John said 11.5 but i doubt that. I can’t get mine past 6.2. Supposedly the 5 can go to 10psi-NOPE!) All the best!

[@ApolloSprayersHVLP]

@paulhaeggquist4266 Yes, the PRECISION-6 has the same POWER-PAUSE feature that your PRECISION-5 has. The reason this is important is that it keeps your motor turbine much cooler, adds life expectancy to the motor and gives you overall higher spraying pressures as a result. The actual flow pressure on the PRECISION-6 is about 7.2 - 7.4PSI, or about 1PSI more pressure than your PRECISION-6, which equates to 12% more power. There is a difference between sealed pressure and flow pressure. Your PRECISION-5 will give you 10 PSI sealed pressure if you turn it all the way up and block off the bleed port. Doing this will also cause damage to your motor if you do it for too long.

[@pawelbienkowski2899]

And the simple solution for sad ending will be carbon (or glass) rods like in igloo tent. 3 or 4 rods will solve the problem.

[@jerryvikla3925]

Back in the 90's I had a neighbor who worked for Graco. He tells me they have a new turbine system prototype and that he would like me to try it on a repairable Jeep Wrangler that I had ready for paint. I reluctantly agreed. I don't recall any of the specifications on the unit or gun but I think it was intended for painting bridges cause the pattern was so wide I had to spray from about 30" 😵‍💫 Surprisingly, it turned out OK but it was not intended for automotive. The Apollo looks great but the price is a bit high for me.

[@sttm1283]

that looked awesome. had to check it out. not that pricy but hell of a lot more than buying a compressor and a regular hvlp gun, but i guess the apollo wins in the end anyway, cause you will need all regulators, filters etc and what not with the traditional. worth looking in to.

Hey Brian. I like the way you teach. Don’t be scared it is just paint. Getting my stuff ready to work on a 99 Tahoe with the crap paint they put on the vehicles in that year. Going to HF for the 80 buck gun and getting the stuff from Amazon. I worked in a body shop back in the 70’s. Did priming and fiberglass work. Question though working out of small garage. Where in the line are you putting the dryer and which dryer would you recommend? I have the use of an electric air dryer but going to to put an inline water separator.

I’d like to see the level of peel after its dry! Cool tech! Would love to see a super close up of the paint hitting the panel from that gun. How it differs from a normal compressed air gun.

[@Justntoys]

It's the same, you just learn to spray slower and closer, and always use extra slow reducer as the warm air from the turbine effects it. No pinch back once you get it dialed.

Its best to put 3 coats. I ended up putting one more coat of clear so I could practice and the finish was stunning. Then the power went out

The system is really interesting, the reduced overspray, better transfer , and either Emilio is an amazing painter or the way the turbine delivered the flow-it really seemed to lay down cleaner than what we’re used to! It would definitely require a larger version of the machine …and would it hold up to painting an entire car at least once a week if you needed it to??

[@HowardGoldman]

I assume the issues related to a full paint job could be associated with the slow coverage making double wet coats difficult to keep up with - and keeping the wet line wet over the longer spans.

[@ApolloSprayersHVLP]

@HowardGoldman yes, you are absolutely correct. The 3000 PRO system has about 30% more power, which allows you to move the gun much faster with the clear coat and thus get around an entire car while keeping the paint wet.

[@JohnBarr-ys9zl]

I used turbine sprayers back when Graco bought out Croix in the late 80’s Yes they work transferred well. I painted a CJ7 with a qt and a half with Centari. Do the guns still get hot ? The first designs are taken from vacuum cleaners.

[@ApolloSprayersHVLP]

@JohnBarr-ys9zl No, the design of the spray guns is totally different to the design of the guns from 40 years ago. The guns now have a separate handle tube and a plastic handle, which dissipates the heat much better. Long gone are the days of wrapping a rag around the gun handle on those long jobs!

[@Mike-01234]

I'm a big fan of turbine compressors if you compare what it costs to buy a big enough compressor then add all the after conditioning to remove water, and oil have more money then buying one of these. I prefer the other company Turbine products they are 1/2 the price of Apollo theirs also include a fresh air supply system for a breathing hood which is much safer to use eliminates the risk of leaking masks.

I can't emphasize enough as to the importance of keeping child car seats clean. When my son's were barely a year old their mom brought them to my dad's to hang out. We started playing cards and as a babysitter we put the boys on front of the TV buckled on their car seats with a basketball game on. They really liked watching sports as early as 6 months till present day. Their mom was not the tidiest of people. But never gave much thought about car seats. After a while I noticed they weren't "playing basketball“ like normal by kicking their legs and swinging their arms. In fact one was actually staring at the other and trying to reach for him. I spoke up and we all sprung to our feet to notice the one was actually starting to turn color. Being a new dad I kinda froze when I seen that and trying to think what to do. Luckily my dad pulled him out of his car seat and started CPR procedures and when he swept his mouth he pulled out a nickel that was blocking the airway. Upon further inspection of both car seats I gathered 3.5 animal cookies, 7 French fries and $0.47 in change. That was all under the liners but accessable by small hands. Every time she brought the kids to visit I thoroughly inspected her car and car seats. So yes, for kids sake if anything, keep it clean!

[@BoostedGeeks]

How would you compare this with the Fuji Platinum Q5? I bought the Q5 and wondering how much significant upgrade is this over the Platinum Q5.

[@ApolloSprayersHVLP]

@BoostedGeeks you will get about 15% more pressure out of the 6-stage than you are out of your Fuji. Also Fuji systems run extremely hot, so after about 15 minutes of spraying your air pressure continues to go down as the motor temperature keeps rising. The Apollo systems are designed to give you a more stable spraying temperature, which ultimately result in better performance. When coupled with our digital pressure control and the POWER Pause feature you can't beat it. The filtration is better, so you don't get paint sucked into your motor. All guaranteed for 5-years! It will be night and day difference in the performance of the PRECISION-6.

[@ApolloSprayersHVLP]

@@VA-gu1jq you will not stress the system out as it is designed to spray all day long if you want to. The problem is moving the spray gun fast enough to keep the wet edge with your clear all the way around the car. If you are spraying a small car it won't be a problem, but you probably won't get around an old Cadillac or something like that. That's why we have our 3000 PRO system, which is designed for spraying completes all at once.

@@ApolloSprayersHVLPinstead of running lower PSI with the .8 tip, can’t it be stepped up to a 1.3 and ran with more PSI, closer to the 11 PSI that it’s capable of? I know the overspray will be greater, but wouldn’t that allow painting a whole car or larger surfaces?

[@ApolloSprayersHVLP]

@@jerryhovet2991 You could do this if you are spraying a low solids clear, but if you are spraying high solids clear you will end up pushing too much paint through the nozzle too fast and won't have enough atomizing pressure to break it down fast enough to give you a smooth finish. With these systems its more about balancing the air pressure to the solids content of the clear. The higher the solids the more pressure you need to get a smooth finish. That's why we use the 0.8mm so we don't feed too much finish into the air stream too quickly.

for a moment after reading the title, I thought he was going to use the "Mr Bean" method.

Looks like an air cleaner for a weber carb

[@americanfamiliesfirst3747]

That's out of my price range, $1800-2600 for the small jobs and $7000 for the larger projects. I'll wait until they can come down on the prices.

[@aw8388]

They won't come down. They were a couple brand when I bought A deluxe kit in the 90's. Try before you buy. I wouldn't buy one unless I got to try the new one.

[@dennish9519]

bummer to see that the booth deflated, but it shows that this kind of stuff happens to everyone. Not just me! Fix the mess and move on.

[@ginfizz20]

Why can't you paint a whole car?? A regular compressor may not be able to keep the pressure high enough to continually spray. The turbine doesn't store up pressure so you shouldn't run low on pressure. I don't get it.

[@LTVoyager]

Well, that stinks. It looked like the finish quality wasn’t up to conventional gun levels, but not bad for an amateur painter. However, it would be fun to see Brian use that system and see how it works for him the first time using it. I am curious as to the learning curve coming from conventional compressed air spray guns.

[@PaintSociety]

We will record more videos using this system for sure !

[@johnmeric492]

There was no talk about how the gun was setup

Man...i really didn't like mine from the 90's. It was EXPENSIVE for its time, and the air was significantly hotter than my standard. Does it work? Yes. But I'd rather put my $ in a GOOD compressor That will do so many more jobs Than this one show pony. Mine sat in the cabinet hogging space untill i gave it to a cabinet guy after hauling it around and being disappointed every time I DID use it. Now they may be improved, but the truth is, I bet you Won't see many pros pick it up.

[@T3glider]

I can’t understand why he would suggest you can’t paint an entire car. With a turbine system the air is unlimited. Plenty of people have painted large objects with them. I have a friend who painted an airplane with one! No problem.

[@PaintSociety]

Because this one is particularly slow, and the clearcoat will be dry by the time you get around the whole car and will not Melt in

[@T3glider]

@@PaintSociety I guess it was because we used single stage paint and were willing to wet sand and polish. For us hobbyists that are crap painters, it will do the job with the flaws being fixed later!

[@nickcrill7718]

Wow I completed my comment and then saw you lost power… hopefully the spoiler was saved it looked like maybe it didn’t get stuck to that… you should put in anchor points to the roof to hold up the booth in case that happens again.

[@PaintSociety]

Live and learn!!! Problem is i need yo open the garage often and not enough area to tie it up

[@terrypercy]

@@PaintSociety cut out the bottom and make it a drop down system? Or have the cables be almost a pull type system from the ground, so you can drop and detach at will, or raise and secure

[@Justntoys]

@@PaintSociety pvc arches on the inside of the booth will work

[@josephsimmons8384]

Sweet!!

[@robertfontaine3650]

Normal people are not buying blow up tents and paying 3500 for a paint gun.

[@PaintSociety]

Thank you Robert for your input!

[@timhudson8958]

Looks ok but very slow for a complete respray!

Would be nice if I had 3 grand just sitting around
