Spraying Metallic with Summit Racing R500 Lvlp spray gun and a small compressor

In today’s video I’m spraying metallic with Summit Racing’s R500 lvlp spray gun (1.3 tip) and a small compressor to show you that the spray gun is capable of spraying metallic and doing a nice job doing so. Also I go through the process on prepping aftermarket plastic parts to get them ready for the paint process.

[@LSturboguy]

I've never seen any pro spray painter running a direct drive air compressor, apart from the noise it would never keep up with some of the brand name guns, the R500 only uses about 3.5cfm its a great gun for the home guy with little air compressors and their under $50usd on ALI Express best value real spray gun you can buy, I have one I got for sealers primer and some base paints I have a DeVilbiss DV1 I use for clears

Hey paint king I need some help please my gun came with 1.3 tip and I wana do my project in single stage the 1.3 didn’t seem wide enough I had a hard time with painting a big panel or whole car what tip do you recommend getting with my second gun? 1.7 ? Or bigger ? 2.0 ?the overlap seemed to dry too fast and or wasn’t wide enough if ya get what I mean I will eventually be doing a base clear but single stage non metallic is easier for wet sand and buffing lol

[@UndergroundPaintKing]

I would go with what’s recommended by the brand paint you went with, some paints are thicker than others so the 1.3 might not be best, also were you able to thin the single stage to help with it spraying smooth and flowing out better? I honestly would need the information on the materials you used to actually be able to help

[@UndergroundPaintKing]

Thanks Michael, I appreciate you checking out the video and you can use grease and wax on everything but the plastic bumpers , it’ll leave a residue that can cause a reaction on the plastic bumpers which is why it is good to use the alcohol

You made that paint look great! The gun is basically the same as the Aeropro R500 and Sprayit LVLP. All known to spray well with a small compressor. Mostly the differences between all types of guns are the aircap hole sizes and the resulting fan size which is evident in that gun. Fan was kind of small, but overspray was very low. Great for home painters on panel jobs. For full resprays, I'd look into something with a wider fan.

I just used the gun with epoxy primer over bare steel then a MAE Acrylic Enamel 8:1:1 Enamel, Hardener, Reducer. Love the gun and your videos are BOM. Question. In the enamel there is some fine metallic particles. I did not do a drop coat. Is it necessary with enamel? I practiced on a driveshaft :) so not really concerned that I did not do a drop coat. But I have other parts that will be visible and would like your opinion. Thank you!

Wow as I hope very good your so professional my regards to you as I'm interested to learn painting Thanks a lot

[@UndergroundPaintKing]

You’re welcome I hope the channel helps!

[@S197jet]

I tried painting a fender a metallic paint and ended up with little bumps I’m guessing from the metal particles. Any tips? I’m using the lvlp with same central pneumatic compressor. Any advice would be helpful thank you in advance

[@UndergroundPaintKing]

Sounds like you might have solvent popping but it’s hard to know for sure, you could send pics to my email at [e-mail]

[@S197jet]

⁠Yes it looks like that was the problem new to this didn’t even know the term until now. Thank you for the reply. Merry Christmas

[@S197jet]

@@UndergroundPaintKinghave another question is the only solution for solvent pop is to sand it smooth and apply base and clear again?

[@UndergroundPaintKing]

@@S197jet sometimes you can correct it while you’re still painting and sometimes if you have enough clear you can cut and buff it out, it really depends on where you’re at in the paint process

[@S197jet]

@@UndergroundPaintKing it’s been sitting for a few days didn’t want to messed with it once I saw the bumps since it was the first time I have encountered that problem. Will try to buff it, I laid three passes of clear so I’m going to hope for the best. Thank you for the information

[@nottodayganggarage1384]

Thanks for the info. I’m about to paint metallic. I will do the drop coat. Keep spraying

[@UndergroundPaintKing]

You’re welcome Not Today Gang Garage I appreciate you and hope the tip helps!

Looks great King. Keep up the great work!

[@UndergroundPaintKing]

Thanks Garage Hack I appreciate that and appreciate you checking out the video!

[@bohemianraceart]

Another great video King, been learning alot quick question what gun is that from summit 02-50013 🤔. Only reason I asked because I seen in the comments some mentioned a replica of the Sprayit. Just wanted to confirm. And also the 91% alcohol tip was tremendous been thinking of a better cleaner and you nailed it. 👏 blessings King ✌

[@UndergroundPaintKing]

Appreciate you Bohemian Race Art and the spray gun from summit is a copy of the SprayIT spray gun it’s a 1.3 tip…I hope the channel continues to help!

[@erice5429]

Great video. Thank you

[@UndergroundPaintKing]

You’re welcome and I appreciate you checking out the video!

[@robertfontaine3650]

If you are trying to do a metallic flake with the lvlp do you mix up everything first so you can get consistent flake across the panels?

[@UndergroundPaintKing]

@@robertfontaine3650 I probably would pre mix no matter which type of spray gun I use, I would attempt to have a even amount throughout the paint job

[@Munky332]

Did you remove the little filter dingus they include? I hate using those things -- does your paint cup system have a filter in it, or do you just pre-filter? Are you using pre-mixed metallic or are you adding flake?

[@UndergroundPaintKing]

No I didn’t remove the filter, the pps cups have a filter in it and I filter my paint still, and I use pre mixed metallic

[@hueinismo1]

would you do a review of the suction feed type of the same spray gun? Thanks

[@UndergroundPaintKing]

I’ll look into it Boboei I appreciate you checking out the video!

[@3rekoatskustoms929]

I use alcohol as well only Wax and grease removal a few times bumper looks great.

Hi from the UK. 10 to 15ft....Lord have mercy. There would be material wastage for sure!!! Not a drop but an invisable coat.... LOL. The mottling occurs with course silvers or darker mettalics. IMHO, it is not necassarily the gun, but the person behind the gun. I have Sata's and the WS400 and others, but I do have about 5 LVLP's and they all have their place. Another nice informative and clear video from the KING.

[@UndergroundPaintKing]

Lol I don’t know why I said 10-15 feet 😂…I definitely agree with you on it being the person and not the gun Niam because the gun can only do what the operator set it up to do and how the operator is using it

[@niamakhtar2234]

@@UndergroundPaintKing Havinf a reputable spray gun, does help and atomises the clear far better, or the trigger is more responsive. But the cheap Chinese guns just fall apart from exposure to chemicals or the internals wear out. Ending up in the proverbial BIN. Whereas, the Robust guns, such as, Iwata, Sata, Devilbiss ca ne relied upon to perform time and time again. However all said and done, its 'Horse for Courses' Some people just have 3 guns and no more or the weekend warriors have just ONE and wonder why the clear has bits of mettalics in it???? Me, I have dedicated guns for Filler, Primer, Sealer, metallics, 3 stage, Candies, flakes and whatever takes my fancy. I just have a passion for painting. My observations of the Black Widow is it is a little on the slow side shooting the clear coat, where as my Sata's really hose it on and you need to move fast. They are defo not forgiving in the hands of a person used to a cheap spray gun. As there will be more runs than on any iced up Road in Winter😅😅😅

[@UndergroundPaintKing]

@@niamakhtar2234 😂😂😂 I hear what you’re saying but for a lot of people they are working on a single project and may never pick up a spray gun again so that’s why the cheaper spray guns come in handy…im a Devilbiss guy myself but can work with a cheaper gun as well as a high end gun but I do my best to show people that you can use either…I definitely agree that with the better made guns you have to know what you’re doing and know how to move fast or your smile is gonna be dragging while your clear coat sagging 🤣🤣🤣

[@chriscothren2030]

what gun is that? 1.2 or 1.3? brand plez! ty great videos!!!

[@UndergroundPaintKing]

It’s a lvlp spray gun R500 series from Summit Racing and it’s a 1.3 tip

[@huey8431]

Great video once again! Question, would you pick this gun or the Sprayit to paint an entire car with, primer, base coat, and clear coat? I’m picking up a 20 gallon compressor. This will be my first car.

[@UndergroundPaintKing]

They are a exact copy of each other, other than a few details so if I had to pick I would go with the SprayIT because it’s made with a tad bit more quality but both will get the job done

[@joaquinmireles3912]

Looks great what size are s the compressor

[@UndergroundPaintKing]

Thanks Joaquin I appreciate you and my compressor is a 21 gallon

[@stax6057]

Handled like a true pro. Last year I repaired a side skirt on a 2010 Viper, and the owner wanted to replace the rear bumper. $3000 later oem from dodge and it was a DEFECT. It came with e-coat primer on it but they failed to use adhesion promoter from the factory. I went to prep for paint and the factory primer flaked off in CHUNKS.

[@UndergroundPaintKing]
