Anytime brother

I enjoy watching painting videos yours included. I've been painting, from when gravity guns came out. I just wanted to let you know, in the beginning of video you were getting the fan and fluid nobs mixed up. The side nob is for fan control, fluid control nob adjust needle opening. Keep up the good work.

[@gregpoff6423]

I really appreciate the effort you put into these videos. Great explanation.

[@PHARRAWAY]

Thank You, brother, God bless

[@mattywollaston3996]

Thanks heeeeeeeeaps for sharing this mate. I have never truly known how to set up a gun properly, but now I do. Thanks for being so informative and explaining all the differences between the test patterns. You can tell just from how you talk about it all that you would be a bloody awesome painter. Cheers my brother, and Happy Christmas.🤙🤙🤙🤙🍺🍺🍺🍺

[@PHARRAWAY]

Thank You brother really appreciate that and Happy Holidays

[@RollingThunder808]

Interesting that when you turn in on the fan giving it less air the spots got less. I guess it sent more air to the nozzle to help breakup the paint into a finer mist. The fan adjustment is mainly to adjust the width or shape of the spray. I been painting for years and never realized that. Thanks for the video. I learned something new today.

[@ericv4152]

damn every time i watch your videos i feel like i can paint a car even though i have never painted before...lol

Thanks

Hell yeah!! I’m here for this!

[@PHARRAWAY]

Thanks brother

[@gkc419]

It doesnt make any sense bc u say one is the trigger and one js the fluid but the one your adjusting changes the fluid and the fan im confused

[@hunkydude322]

iam old school i learned to paint with the mbc deVilbiss spray guns back in the late 80s and early 90s, i don't think ill spend any money on this so called gravity guns and i get fantastic finishing with my guns, anyways great video as always.

[@paulpaintshop103]

So called gravity guns use less air and less paint, are easy to clean so less thinners to waste, also they aren't as cumbersome to handle giving better gun control. If it's just a hobby suction feeds are ok, but professional use no thanks.

[@dand3975]

I sprayed last week with a old Binks #7, and with a brand new generic gravity gun. Both guns sprayed the same single stage enamel. The piece I painted with the Binks#7 looked excellent, the gravity gun produced quite a bit of orange peel. About 15 minutes to clean the Binks #7, about 45 minutes to clean the POS gravity gun. I need a suggestion on a detail spray gun that works good with single stage enamel.

[@MegaWatching]

Been watching your videos to help me out with painting my car. I've been buying my tools little by little. Right now I need to buy a Primer spray-gun with a 1.8mm tip size. Out of these 3 which one would you pick: Devilbiss FLG. Husky, Iwata Air Gunsa or is there something within those 3 that you can recommend. Thank you for your input and for all you informative videos.

Unfortunately you didn't mention your "rule of thumb" for the distance you hold the spray gun from the surface, which I assume can have as much of an effect on the pattern as everything else you mentioned - No?

[@pitlion1]

Shit ,that husky gun pattern looks like it could compare to some of the high end guns .Really nice looking fan pattern !

[@PHARRAWAY]

It works well brother and for the price can't beat it

[@mrcrtking]

So on the fan your looking for a nice tight sprey pattern with minimal external like overspray effect and even? I'm learning this myself, also need to talk about air supply as thats where I have already gone wrong, the 1/4 quick couplers were strangling my air supply so much that my gun wouldn't make 10psi wide open, with 1.4 nozzle and pipe lenght, internal diameter and the couplers are important so I found, I'm using 15cfm 100 litre compressor. Good video thou, even cheap guns can do a fantastic job if you know how to set it up.

[@PHARRAWAY]

Will do I'll try to make another video on it

[@JBIRD575]

Do you adjust different for metallics what gun good for metallic base coat solvent paint....??? Also what tip size 1.4??

[@PHARRAWAY]

For metallic is the same adjustment and use 1.3 tip

[@JBIRD575]

@@PHARRAWAY ok

[@harleynut1961]

I tried your setup procedure for a cheapo gun for spraying 2k primer, atomization was good but couldn’t get a bigger fan than about 4” , is this the characteristics of the gun ? For my SS paint I will be using a Devilbliss flg5 , never painted before and hoping I get results more to what you show.

[@TheJoepeanut]

harleynut1961 you may need to reduce your primer a bit to get a bigger fan

[@jayinmi3706]

When you say "wide open" do you back the knob (whichever one you're adjusting) until it is unthreaded from the body and then screw it back in a little? Could you go into a little more detail? This video is very helpful. Thank you!

[@PHARRAWAY]

Yes

Bro sometimes you call the knob for the fan . material knob thay are different aI don’t much but i know that you confuse me went you say that if some know nothing about it they will be very confused i like your videos brooo don’t take the wrong way

[@marcocruz6462]

I adjust similar to what you do but something that almost everybody miss is the speed and the distance with that is the otherr 50% Try to copie the speed that the show on the videos at beginning it wasn’t that good because i was so afraid to have a run i did too fast. My protect start to come out better went i adjust my speed and distance

[@zanaga1901]

I have the Ronpeng lvlp spray gun now never used it before but I use a smaller air compressor 26 gallon 5 hp between 5.4-5.6 cfm one day would like to use a bigger air compressor but this year plan on using a exhaust system in garage which haven't used yet plus will be using a high solids clear for the first time.

[@satamanschmidt3428]

You're going to hate one of the best paint guns made: The Iwata Supernova. It can't be used with the fan wide open. If you try to use it that way it will split the fan which on the supernova is about three feet wide. 1 3/4 turns out from fully closed fan is perfect. Also, instead of using the cheater valve at the bottom of the gun use a diaphragm regulator like the RTI MR-1. With one of these you can come into the gun at whatever pressure you want and it regulates it to a precise PSI value.

[@hunkydude322]

the Iwata could cost a million dollars but if you don't know how to use it it isn't worth chit to the painter.

[@hunkydude322]

cool video, this video is for the newbies and with experience you'll get better and better. so later you can make a smart choice in buying your paint guns you don't need to 500 dollar or more on a paint gun to a fantastic paint finish, but if you do want to spend that kind of money it's up to you, just take of it so it can last you a life time.

[@InspireMindset234]

How much psi are u running the gun at

[@PHARRAWAY]

Hi ,, quick question if I may ,, Just sprayed a panel with single stage , had a small sag about 20 inch long right under a crease.. Is it possible to fix it or just re-spray the whole panel ? Is re-spray , would you D/A or wet sand? What grits ? I’m thinking 400-600 disc or 400-600 wet sand. Do I sand the whole panel? Thanks Pharraway!

You can eat sand with 600 and just spray that area and you will be good

Hi ,, I I can ask ,, I’m about to primer and single stage a frame mostly the front on my 58 Chevy .. metal has bean prepped . Question ,, the frame has so many crevices and under bracket welded on it. I’m sure they dipped the frame in 1958.. What pressure if so should I set when painting around these odd areas like crevices and indentation? Second , fan width ? Anything can help cause I lm trying not to get any runs when I’m hitting these difficult areas .. thank you 🙏

Hi brother the best pressure for that can be from 10 to 15 psi with the fan about 3 to 4 inches

At least a 60gal compressor and about the gun you can go with a harbor freight gun
