Get it right- wet on wet 1.4,high build 1.8-2, met base 1.3, solid base 1.2, clear 1.2. Sata or Devilbiss.(I’m a body and paint technician)

[@Sarfrozkhan]

in that case you can help me more :)

[@JohnCalebWarren]

Excellent video. Short & precise. Strait to the point, just what I needed. Not some 30 min long video explaining why. .....I've got a paint job to do, not time to burn listening to some guy talk about why. Now off to shoot the base & clear now. Thank you!

Eastwood should consider doing a review for turbine based guns, needles nozzle combinations for automotive paints. I'm considering your Apollo with 7500GT and it'd be quite helpful. Unfortunately Eastwood sent me a table with a thousand options. I'd like it broken down to its simplest form like it is done here.

Ime confused ,you say on your other vid when using epoxy primer 1-1 ratio use a 1.3 Gun but on here you recommend a 1.8 or 2.2

[@ClintonSnow]

Thanks for the interesting video it provide good information.

[@mdvs42]

Thanks for the explanations Kevin good job:)

[@6h471]

Would these tip size recommendations hold true for an LVLP gun as well?

Thanks so much for this tips

Can you do a video on refinishing alloy rims, especially spraying clear on the hard to reach areas?

Great information! Thanks!

[@sandrobrito262]

Good hint! Tks

[@UMNT]

very thankful for the information you shared us. sir I'm planning to paint motorcycles for business, but i have no idea of many things. can i use a 1/4HP or 1/2 hp for paintings motorcycles? i tried to look school for auto body painting in my country unfortunately none. i hope i can attend your seminar someday. I'm from the Philippines BTW. thank you sir.

[@rockyriddell8671]

Given the tip sizes you recommend for primer, base and clear coats, why does the Eastwood Concours Pro HVLP 2-gun paint system kit offer 2.0, 1.7 and 1.3 tip sizes respectively? I mean you state in this video that the 1.4 tip size is perfect for base coats. I'm confused.

[@eastwoodco]

The 1.3 is the needle / nozzle you would use for base coats.

[@JoeCnNd]

to the point. Thanks.

[@jonathanbulalin7767]

Thanks

[@dozyproductionss]

Would there be a huge difference if I spray with a nozzle that's .1mm off?

[@Z-Ack]

Yes itd be .1mm different.. would it matter for paint? No.. you can spray clear with a 2.0 if you want, youll just be wasting a lot of paint or wind up with runs if youre not experienced.. but ive watched guys paint with wider nozzles and turn up the air and adjust pattern and spray a car in 5 mins.. is all about consistency and your settings just like welding..

[@brett9382]

Would you use the base coat tip for the Eastwood single stage paint or is that the clear coat tip

[@dragon66leo]

Hi i want to know if the nozzles of different sizes fit any gun models

[@vnitmechite2003]

Hi....i need ur help ..i am planning to buy HVLP portable SPRAY GUN LIKE Wagner or homeright for wall painting. Can I use the same spray gun for automotive paints n primer.....also , I see that these spray gun provide only one bozzle size...for example...homeright has only 2.0mm nozzle size..... Then how to use 1.4mm or 1.7mm nozzle in this case ??

[@ZafodB3]

This was good info but an advertisement none the less. My issue, that I am trying to determine, is that I purchased an inexpensive gun with a 1.0mm nozzle size recommended for the clear waterborne primer and top coat. But as I discovered later, the candy color to be mixed with that clear, the mid coat, recommends a 1.2mm nozzle size and I could not find this in a small volume (125CC/~4oz) gun, yet the paint’s manufacturer makes no such recommendations for an airbrush (any size nozzle will do they claim) and a 20oz gun +/- would be overkill/wasteful. My issue, therefore, will be what kind of problems might that 0.2mm nozzle size difference cause/present?

[@jsaae]

What tip would be ideal for spraying cabinets with latex paint.

[@hobby-duke8575]

I sent away for the DeVilbiss startingline paint and primer guns but I found a DeVilbiss gti millennium in a foot locker I'm going to use the startingline paint gun as a clear coat gun when it comes in

[@JeffreyMillswa6cej]

Which gun should be used for Clear? Conventional or hvlp. TNX

[@bigbothoee8617]

All the info I need thanks

[@qaisarawan93]

I live in pakistan. Here sometimes the guns are numbered in single digit like 00 number, 0 number, 1 through 6 number.. How does this relates to the mm measuring?

[@giovanni2612]

Halló... I would like to know something about lte guns vs hvlp. Which you recommend and which one is good for a specific work. Sorry for my English. Best reguards

[@aurorabell1259]

Hi I'm Malaysian , can I use 2.0 noozle of electric spray gun for painting car with single stage enamel paint?

[@cmspnutty8001]

What is that black spray gun you had in the gun holder? It looks like a sig sauer..lol

[@EgYpT2k7]

Is it true that water paint need bigger nozzles than the solvent one? If it's true, which nozzles do you recommend for primer, base and clear with the water paint?

[@lewisfrazer1806]

Depends if you mix it a 2:1 or 1:1 but a 1.3 or 1.4 would be fine for water and for primer 1.8 and for clear 1.3 or for solvent base coat 1.2 or 1.3

[@hobby-duke8575]

Eastwood company-Ok what are you using for primer 1.8 or the 2.2 And for the clear coat what are you using 1.2 or the 1.3

[@eastwoodco]

For Clear you can use 1.2 or 1.3. For primer, you will want to choose 1.8 or 2.2 based on the primer you will be spraying. The high build primers often require the 2.2.

[@busterbuilding]

How to tell the difference between 1.2 & 1.4. I can find nothing stamped on the tip?

[@eastwoodco]

It's generally "written" on the side of the nozzle. But that's going to vary depending on brand.

[@Imwright720]

Ashamed the gun he recommends doesn’t have a 1.4 tip available. He says he likes it for base coat but it’s not available. Being a beginner you come for advice but can’t follow it.

[@idiculathomas7123]

Excuse me, pls help me. My Devil Biss spray gun's needle and nozzle is damaged very soon after changing it. Can u tell me the reason and also a solution. It would help me a lot. Hoping to hear from you very soon

[@edwardzx7]

When I bought mines, it was $150. You can’t get one unless you talk to a sales representative. Their no longer available! They do spray awesome though!

[@rbscott21]

best compressor for the concourse gun?

[@eastwoodco]

Just check the air requirements on the gun you're looking to purchase and find a compressor that meets those requirements. With a smaller compressor (40-60 gal), you may need to paint the panels one at a time so they compressor can catch up. If you use a Scroll or a large 80 gallon, you will likely be able to paint the entire car without stopping. Here's a link to check out the Scroll - www.eastwood.com/eastwood-elite-qst-30-60-scroll-air-compressor.html

[@krypto7996]

would a 2.0 work for all primers a 1.5 for basecoats and a 1.3 for clear coats or is it nessecary to have a 1.8 2.0 1.4 and 1.3

[@eastwoodco]

You want the best combo for the material you're spraying, but most DIY painters will not have every combo you listed. You can usually do you're work with 2-3 needle/nozzles. Always check the manufacturer's recommendations. Some primers - like high build primers - may require a larger needle/nozzle than a 2.0.

[@eksine]

just use 1.3 or 1.4 for everything, it's fine, you have to sand after you spray primer anyways. I'd get 1.3

[@mura0]

@@eksine my thoughts exactly. If you are sanding the primer which you always do, and are not a paint shop just use 1.4 or 1.3 for everything.

[@garyedwards6597]

No more than an advert

[@keanuvalentine7097]

Got a better job with a 1.8 nozzle in 2k

If you have a gun that can only use 1 tip then it must be a really shitty gun.
